This position is five weeks of days, with every sixth week of evenings and every fourth weekend, plus three holidays per year (annual rotation). Evening shift and weekend/holiday duties will primarily cover neurology, with additional coverage for general cardiology/medical-surgical patients.

Pharmaceutical care services include, but are not limited to, assessing patient needs, incorporating age and disease specific characteristics into drug therapy and patient education, adjusting care according to patient response, and providing clinical interventions to detect, mitigate, and prevent medication adverse events. Clinical Pharmacists serve as departmental resources and liaisons to other departments, hospital personnel, or external groups. They proficiently manage the appropriate use of medications according to professional and regulatory standards. They also conduct practice-related research and patient care, quality, and regulatory compliance initiatives designed to improve medication-use processes or pharmacy practice.
