About The Position
The Pharmacist, Principal joins the Formulary Strategy and Pharmacy & Therapeutics team, which develops formularies, clinically evaluates drugs, and supports the Pharmacy & Therapeutics process to advance clinically appropriate, evidence-based, and cost-effective drug management strategies.
