Clinical Pharmacist
About The Position
As a Clinical Pharmacist at CHI St. Vincent, you will help doctors and nurses safely prescribe and dispense medications so patients can recover from illness or injury. You will review prescriptions and orders for potential drug interactions, correct dosing, patient allergies, and other concerns, providing an expert final safety check rather than relying solely on computer systems. The role requires learning new concepts, researching information in real time, and seeking ways to provide exceptional care and patient experiences. The pharmacist documents clinical activities and interventions, interprets and verifies medication orders, and ensures medications are accurately entered, labeled, and dispensed in a timely manner. You will check medications prepared by other pharmacy personnel, communicate drug information to patients and health professionals, and resolve medication-related problems in collaboration with other healthcare professionals. You will clarify unclear orders with the licensed provider and assist providers with appropriate drug selection and therapeutic regimens.
