About The Position

The Pharmacy Student Clinical Support Specialist is a unique, remote clinical position designed for Ohio-based pharmacy students pursuing careers in ambulatory pharmacy practice. It presents an opportunity for students to sharpen their clinical knowledge and familiarity with management strategies for common ambulatory care conditions within a human-centered, population-conscious primary care-supporting organization. In this role, you will serve as the "front door" for an interdisciplinary care team, initiating deep-dive chart reviews to help inform interdisciplinary care for rising risk patients. Reviews will support the actions of Waymark community health worker (CHW), therapist and pharmacy teams in supporting Medicaid patients. Working under the oversight and mentorship of the market Ambulatory Clinical Pharmacist lead, you will organize and summarize Electronic Health Record (EHR) information to support the clinical pharmacist’s development of care recommendations for an interdisciplinary care team. You will be responsible for synthesizing complex medical histories into concise summaries that guide care team priorities. The role is remote and offers flexibility, with the ability to complete work during evenings or weekends, making it an ideal opportunity to complement formal pharmacy education during the academic school year. The expected duration of the role is 6-8 months. Time spent in the role does not qualify as internship hours needed to satisfy pharmacy licensure requirements in Ohio. The role requires a regular weekly commitment of at least 12 hours, with potential opportunities for increased work hours and responsibilities with the approval of Waymark’s pharmacist (max work opportunity of 19 hours per week). In addition to the routine work responsibilities outlined above, individuals will have the opportunity to develop and deliver clinical trainings for non-licensed team members as part of their professional development.
