About The Position

CVS Health Graduate Pharmacy Interns support retail pharmacy teams while developing the skills and experience needed to become pharmacists. Under the direction of a preceptor and District Leader, the intern completes a comprehensive training roadmap within 120 days of graduation, building knowledge of store, district, and regional operations, patient safety, error prevention, quality assurance, drug utilization review, professional standards, corresponding responsibility, and red-flag detection.

The intern assists with pharmacy operations to ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and that patients receive caring service. The role applies company procedures and pharmacy best practices, communicates effectively, and contributes to a safe and inclusive team culture. As readiness increases, the intern takes on greater accountability for supporting pharmacy management, oversight, and operations.

The position also involves completing required training and obtaining pharmacist licensure within the applicable timeframe. Where permitted, the intern may support immunizations after meeting state training and licensure requirements. The posting identifies this as a part-time position and provides a typical pay range of $24.25–$42.00.
