Are you a pharmacist who would rather do more consulting work than dispensing? This job will allow you to just that!
For some pharmacists, working in a retail pharmacy can become tedious after many years in the pharmacy sector. Depending on where you work, there are high volumes of scripts to process. From time to time, patients might become impatient or irate. The pressure placed on you is quite high, to procure accurate prescriptions and safeguard patients’ health. If you are a pharmacist who has studied and worked hard to gain your expertise, there is still another way to practice in your field.
Job Duties:
Consulting pharmacy jobs involve speaking with customers over the phone or through online communication methods. In this particular position, you will speak to customers about the prescriptions given by their doctors, assessing the customer’s medical needs and how different drugs would interact for that particular patient. Patients and their doctors will then send you their scripts, and the pharmacy will arrange for the patient to receive their drugs. It’s quite a bit different than the typical retail pharmacy.
- You will be working full-time hours every week.
- This time will be devoted to consulting pharmacy work, done over the phone.
What Will You Earn?:
- Your salary will be 75,000 dollars per year.
- You may receive an annual bonus of up to 25% of that salary, depending on your experience.
- Health and dental expenses will be covered by the employer
What Our Client Needs From You:
- You must have a minimum of two years experience as a pharmacist.
- You must be licensed as a pharmacist in the province of British Columbia.
- You must speak English very confidently, as you will be conversing regularly with patients and will need to understand their prescriptions and positively represent the client’s pharmacy.
- You must have graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy
