We seek an innovative pharmacist who will build and sustain innovative services that advance patient care and expand access to high-quality pharmacy services, with an appreciation for the evolving roles of regulatory affairs and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, in healthcare delivery.
This position is embedded within a well-established independent community pharmacy group with multiple locations across South Carolina, offering a diverse range of services including traditional dispensing, sterile and non-sterile compounding, durable medical equipment, and enhanced patient care services. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing and maintaining community pharmacy-based services.

The ideal candidate will be collaborative, committed to excellence in teaching and practice, and interested in developing forward-thinking approaches to community pharmacy care.
