It includes providing pharmaceutical care to a defined patient population, documenting services and their financial impact, and, when appropriate, seeking reimbursement. Faculty may also serve on affiliated-institution and university committees, participate in professional organizations and community service, and attend graduation ceremonies when assigned. Scholarship accounts for 5–10% of a non-tenure-track position or 20–50% of a tenure-track position. Activities may include presentations and publications, reviewing manuscripts or books, pursuing grant funding, developing educational or research programming, and documenting the quality and usefulness of pharmaceutical care services or new care models. Tenure-track faculty are expected to actively pursue extramural funding and peer-reviewed publications.
