ADULT MEDICINE, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND CRITICAL CARE PHARMACIST POSITIONS:

We are currently recruiting for the following:

• Cardiology Supervisor
• Transitions of care pharmacist
• Cardiology clinical pharmacist
• Surgery clinical pharmacists
• Evening clinical pharmacists
• Overnight clinical pharmacists

Our pharmacists work in their designated inpatient care area, in addition to rotating occasionally to support our inpatient central operations arena. Our model is decentral, with pharmacists located out on the units supporting all aspects of pharmacy care for their patients. We work to provide consistent schedules but depending upon the staffing schedule for a particular service, rotating through am and pm shifts does occur. Since we have a clinical overnight team, we also support and rotate coverage through our overnight shifts to support vacations and leaves.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of this position 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. 

This position is 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.  The pharmacist 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 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. 

Cardiology, Surgery, TOC, and Evening pharmacist requirements include PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency or significant hospital experience.
