Pharmacy Intern

Meijer•Greenfield, WI

About The Position

The Meijer Pharmacy Intern Program is designed to develop pharmacy interns into future Meijer pharmacy leaders. Interns are assigned to pharmacy site(s) and work designated hours while learning skills for community pharmacy practice. As interns progress academically, their responsibilities and expectations advance in patient care, clinical services, and leadership competencies. Interns are expected to provide friendly, remarkable customer service and support operational excellence to enhance the patient experience and health. Participation in the program, clinical pharmacy services, leadership, administrative and operations projects, and contributing to quarterly goals are considered when interns apply for Meijer pharmacist positions. Interns develop professional and leadership competencies, assist customers, and build positive relationships with patients, team members, and leadership. They must comply with applicable Meijer, state, and federal requirements, maintain an active educational license and required clinical and CPR documentation, and complete assigned training. Each intern works with a pharmacist preceptor who monitors development and provides mentorship. Interns review training plans with their preceptor during quarterly conversations and maintain an electronic portfolio of training accomplishments. After applicable training, they participate in immunization, medication therapy management, health screening, and other current clinical programs. The program requires a minimum availability of 16–32 hours per month year-round, as needed based on professional development and market needs. Interns should invest the time needed for their learning and development. Additional hours may be requested but are not guaranteed.
