About The Position

CVS Health’s Graduate Pharmacy Intern role provides hands-on pharmacy practice and a comprehensive training roadmap to prepare PharmD graduates for increasing responsibility and a future Pharmacist role. Under the direction of a preceptor and District Leader, the intern completes the roadmap within 120 days of graduation and develops knowledge of store, district, and regional operations, patient safety, error prevention, quality assurance, drug utilization review, and professional standards.
