About The Position

The Meijer Pharmacy Intern Program is designed to develop pharmacy interns into future Meijer pharmacy leaders. Interns provide friendly, remarkable customer service and support operational excellence to enhance patients’ experiences and health. Interns are assigned to pharmacy site(s), learn skills for community pharmacy practice, and take on advancing patient-care, clinical-service, and leadership responsibilities as they progress academically. Participation in the program and its clinical, leadership, administrative, and operational activities, along with contributions to quarterly goals, may be considered when interns apply for Meijer pharmacist positions. Interns develop professional and leadership competencies, help customers with pharmacy needs, and maintain positive relationships with patients, team members, and leadership. They must comply with applicable Meijer, state, and federal requirements, keep required licenses and clinical documentation current, and complete assigned training plans. Each intern works with a pharmacist preceptor, reviews development quarterly, and maintains an electronic portfolio documenting training and accomplishments. After applicable training, interns participate in immunizations, medication therapy management, health screenings, and other current clinical programs. The program requires minimum availability of 16–32 hours per month year-round, as needed based on professional development and market needs. Additional hours may be requested but are not guaranteed.
