Home to nationally recognized clinical, research and educational programs, OHSU Health is Oregon's only academic medical center.  Our vision is to make Oregon a national leader in health and science innovation for the purpose of improving the health and well-being of Oregonians and beyond.

While fully integrated with OHSU Hospital on Marquam Hill and connected via aerial tram, the Center for Health & Healing located on Portland’s South Waterfront provides a wide array of ambulatory services.  The center’s two patient care towers support a continuous flow of patients, providers and services throughout.  As a single-practice location, the Center for Health and Healing serves Knight Cancer oncology, research, and infusion clinics; diagnostic imaging, pathology and laboratory services; ambulatory surgical and procedural suites; as well as urgent care and specialty clinics.

OHSU’s Knight Cancer Institute is recognized as an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and is home to world renowned scientists and clinicians such as Dr. Brian Druker, Dr. Joe Gray, Dr. Gordon Mills, and Dr. Sadik Esener who focus on early cancer detection and precision medicine.

The OHSU Pharmacy team is dedicated to helping providers and patients manage complex and cutting-edge medication therapies. OHSU Pharmacy staff work side by side with fellow healthcare providers creating an interdisciplinary team approach to patient care. Our goal is to provide world class medication management to the patients we serve.

PHARMACIST POSITIONS: We are currently recruiting for pharmacists with practice experience in oncology who are interested in working on either the Heme/BMT or solid malignancies team across multiple practice settings - clinic, infusion, and inpatient.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of these positions is to provide the services of a licensed pharmacist which includes the responsibility for the safe and proper distribution and use of medications in inpatients and outpatients who range in age from neonates, infants less than one year of age, children and adolescents ages 10-18, adults ages 19-65 and the elderly over age 65. 

These pharmacists are to function at higher decision making and accountability levels regarding medication therapy, proactively affecting medication use by making recommendations at the time prescribing decisions are being made or, in some cases, making independent decisions about medication therapy in cooperation with other healthcare team members.  Additional services provided include facilitation of medication reconciliation, discharge counseling, and medication delivery through coordination of care from admission to discharge.  These pharmacists must possess strong communication skills for patient education and work collaboratively with inpatient and outpatient interdisciplinary teams including but not limited to providers, nurses, case workers, pharmacists, and technicians, as well as the teaching and precepting component of students, interns and/or residents.

This is a flexible model where the functions of care coordination during transitions of care and medication use system for patients are integrated with traditionally centralized functions, such as order entry/verifications and will continue to evolve as part of integrated decentralized patient care practice.
