As our Clinical Pharmacist, you will help our doctors and nurses safely prescribe and dispense medications to help our patients feel better and recover from their illness or injury. Every day, you will build trust in these interactions by reviewing every prescription in your queue. We never rely entirely on the computer to check for safety; we always use an expert for the final check. That’s you. You will review prescriptions for potential drug interactions, correct dosing, patient allergies or anything that looks unusual in your opinion. To be successful in this role, you must enjoy learning new concepts and researching information in real-time to provide solutions for our patients. You should also continually look for ways to go above and beyond for your patients, delivering an exceptional experience along with exceptional care.
