Clinical Pharmacist
About The Position
The Clinical Pharmacist helps physicians and nurses safely prescribe and dispense medications so patients can recover from illness or injury. The pharmacist reviews prescriptions for potential drug interactions, appropriate dosing and drug selection, patient allergies, and other concerns, and serves as the expert final safety check rather than relying entirely on computer systems. The role requires learning new concepts and researching information in real time to provide solutions and deliver exceptional patient care. The pharmacist documents clinical activities and interventions, including consults and patient education; interprets and verifies medication orders; enters prescriptions into the computer system, labels and dispenses medications; checks medications prepared by other pharmacy personnel; and communicates drug information to patients and health professionals. The pharmacist resolves medication-related problems with other healthcare professionals, clarifies unclear orders with licensed providers, assists providers with drug selection and therapeutic regimens, provides basic clinical services for all age groups served, and maintains knowledge of automated systems.
