Ambulatory Care / Opioid Use Disorder Pharmacist
About The Position
This is a full-time clinical position for a pharmacist who excels in progressive, patient-centered clinical practice. The role involves delivering care at the top of the pharmacist's license, building trusted relationships with vulnerable communities, and leading one of the first pharmacist-driven MOUD (Medication for Opioid Use Disorder) programs in the state. The position focuses on advancing access to care and transforming the community pharmacy into a clinical care destination. It is a dedicated ambulatory-care-style role, focused entirely on clinical service delivery, not retail dispensing.
