About The Position

Are you a pharmacist who excels in progressive, patient-centered clinical
practice? Do you want to deliver care at the top of your license, build trusted
relationships with vulnerable communities, and lead one of the first

community pharmacy into a clinical care destination, the CO MAT Pharmacist
