About The Position

The Pharmacist works in Synchrony Pharmacy, a long-term care pharmacy supporting senior living communities. The role focuses on medication quality, accuracy, and patient care in a setting described as less customer-facing than a high-traffic retail pharmacy, with a schedule that allows for balance. The Pharmacist prepares, reviews, verifies, and dispenses medications; monitors drug therapies; provides pharmacological information and counseling; and helps train pharmacy staff and other health care professionals. The position also supports pharmacy operations, regulatory compliance, controlled-substance records, medication disposal, and infection-control protocols. Minimal travel, including overnight stays, may be necessary.
