Clinical Pharmacist

Lifted, an Upwork Company™•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

An enterprise client is seeking experienced Clinical Pharmacists to support an AI evaluation project focused on complex clinical pharmacy tasks. The role includes authoring realistic assignments using fully synthetic patient records, developing institution-specific medication-use protocols and supporting reference materials, and producing gold-standard clinical deliverables and detailed grading rubrics. The pharmacist will peer-review task packages created by other subject-matter experts, checking clinical plausibility, internal consistency, protocol quality, rubric priorities, regulatory compliance, and duplication within the benchmark pool. The role also involves independently evaluating AI-generated deliverables, comparing candidate outputs, identifying medication-related risks and failures to escalate concerns, and providing clear, evidence-based recommendations. Professional independence, objectivity, consistent quality, and meeting project deadlines are expected.

Requirements

At least 5 years of professional clinical pharmacy experience, including hospital or inpatient pharmacy practice.
PharmD degree or Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy with equivalent clinical experience.
Active, unrestricted pharmacist license in a US state.
Hands-on experience with clinical pharmacy responsibilities, including medication reconciliation, medication order verification, dose adjustments, and medication safety reviews.
Demonstrated experience developing, writing, reviewing, or maintaining medication-use policies, clinical protocols, or formulary guidance.
Experience contributing to Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee activities or similar medication-policy development processes.
Strong understanding of how institution-specific medication-use policies differ from standard drug references, product labeling, and general clinical guidelines.
Working knowledge of applicable US federal, state, and local healthcare regulations, including FDA labeling requirements, DEA controlled-substance rules, state pharmacy practice acts, and Joint Commission medication management standards.
Strong clinical judgment and ability to independently assess complex medication-related scenarios.
Excellent analytical, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills, particularly for identifying medication-related risks, clinical inconsistencies, and patient-safety concerns.
Ability to evaluate clinical documentation objectively and provide clear, concise, evidence-based recommendations.
Strong written English communication skills and ability to prepare detailed clinical assignments, protocols, evaluation criteria, and professional documentation.
Ability to work independently, follow detailed instructions, maintain professional standards, and meet agreed project deadlines.
Availability of at least 20 hours per week on a sustained basis throughout the engagement.

Nice To Haves

Board certification in a relevant pharmacy specialty, such as Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS).
Previous experience serving on a Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee or medication-safety committee.
Experience developing, reviewing, or maintaining hospital medication-use policies, formulary guidelines, and clinical decision-support protocols.
Experience with clinical pharmacy task development, professional assessment design, peer review, or quality assurance.
Familiarity with AI evaluation, AI training data, prompt creation, annotation, or other AI-related projects.
Experience evaluating complex clinical deliverables against established protocols, institutional policies, and professional standards.
Strong understanding of medication safety procedures, high-alert medications, therapeutic interchange, and clinical escalation requirements.

Responsibilities

Create realistic clinical pharmacy assignments based on fully synthetic patient records, covering tasks such as medication reconciliation, dose adjustments, therapeutic interchange, anticoagulation reviews, high-alert medication checks, pharmacist intervention notes, and prescriber queries.
Develop realistic hospital medication-use protocols with institution-specific policies, including formulary guidelines, therapeutic interchange requirements, dosing tables, independent double-check procedures, and pharmacist escalation criteria.
Design assignments that require application of institution-specific protocols rather than relying solely on standard drug references, product labeling, or general clinical guidelines.
Prepare realistic clinical reference materials, including medication lists, medication orders, laboratory results, clinical notes, and discharge summaries.
Produce gold-standard reference deliverables demonstrating clinical accuracy, patient-safety awareness, professional judgment, and appropriate documentation.
Develop detailed grading rubrics with evaluation criteria, point values, and pass/fail requirements.
Ensure assignments, patient records, protocols, and supporting materials use fully synthetic information and comply with applicable US healthcare and pharmacy regulations.
Peer-review task packages created by other subject-matter experts, including instructions, patient records, protocols, reference deliverables, and grading rubrics.
Verify the internal consistency and clinical plausibility of patient records, including medication doses, administration schedules, laboratory results, diagnoses, and clinical notes.
Assess whether institutional protocols are realistic, internally consistent, and sufficiently specific to require correct application by AI models.
Evaluate whether rubrics appropriately prioritize patient safety, medication-related risks, protocol compliance, and escalation of clinical concerns.
Review assignments for compliance with applicable US federal, state, and local regulations, including FDA labeling requirements, DEA controlled-substance rules, state pharmacy practice acts, and Joint Commission medication management standards.
Identify duplicate or substantially similar assignments in the existing benchmark pool.
Provide Reject, Revise, or Approve recommendations for peer-reviewed assignments, supported by concise clinical rationale.
Independently evaluate completed AI-generated deliverables against assignments developed by other subject-matter experts.
Compare candidate deliverables and determine whether one is Better, About as Good As (a tie), or Worse than the other.
Assess deliverables for clinical accuracy, completeness, instruction-following, medication safety, protocol adherence, and professional documentation quality.
Apply independent clinical judgment rather than relying exclusively on point-based scoring systems or checklists.
Identify medication-related risks, incorrect dosing, drug interactions, clinical inconsistencies, and failures to escalate concerns appropriately.
Provide concise, evidence-based explanations supporting evaluation decisions and highlighting important clinical differences between candidate deliverables.
Maintain professional independence and objectivity throughout task authoring, peer review, and grading.
Meet project deadlines while maintaining consistent clinical quality and accuracy.
