Job description
Domain Expert – Pharmacy (UpToDate Lexidrug)
To qualify you must use UpToDate Lexidrug (or Lexicomp) regularly - weekly or more - as a working part of your job, with 2+ years of professional pharmacy experience.
Lexidrug knowledge we require
Core (required of all candidates)
Knows how to work a full medication-list interaction check to completion — not just confirm a single named pair, but judge severity ratings and mechanism of interaction across the whole list
Knows how to weigh contraindications, boxed warnings, and warnings/precautions against a specific patient's situation, not just check whether a flag exists
Knows how to distinguish "not contraindicated" from "appropriate for this patient" — and where in the monograph that second judgment actually gets made
Knows how to reconcile a Special Alert against monograph content when they conflict — recognizes alerts generally take precedence until reconciled
Knows how to apply renal/hepatic dose-adjustment logic and calculators correctly given current patient data (labs, weight), not just plug in numbers
Specialized depth (strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 of the following)
Trissel's IV Compatibility (physical/chemical incompatibility vs. physiological interaction — knows these are distinct problems, not one nested in the other)
Pediatric/weight-based dosing
Beers Criteria / geriatric-specific precautions
Pregnancy and lactation risk categories
REMS and prescribing/access restrictions (controlled substance scheduling, restricted distribution programs)
Therapeutic class comparison for alternatives (allergy, shortage, formulary substitution)
Drug I.D. and patient education / multi-language handouts
What you'll do
Confirm an interaction, dosing, or contraindication finding holds up against the patient's full medication list and chart — not just the two drugs named in the question
Catch missed interactions, stale patient data (outdated labs/weight) driving a wrong dose, and monograph guidance superseded by a newer Special Alert
Judge completeness: is the full clinical picture (all active meds, current labs, comorbidities) accounted for, or was the question scoped too narrowly
Distinguish "permitted" from "appropriate" — flag when a drug clears interaction/contraindication checks but is still a poor choice for this specific patient
Verify that a correct clinical conclusion is actually carried through — order updated, prescriber notified, chart/note documented — not just identified and left there
Requirements
Frequent Lexidrug (or Lexicomp) use - weekly or more - in your current or recent role
2+ years of professional pharmacy experience, inpatient/hospital setting strongly preferred
Reflexive use of Interactions, Trissel's, and monograph sections; can spot a missed interaction, a stale dose calculation, or superseded guidance on sight
PharmD and active pharmacy license, or equivalent verification-heavy clinical experience
Strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 specialized areas above, tied to your practice setting (e.g., ICU, oncology, pediatrics, geriatrics)
Comfort judging whether a correct clinical finding was properly followed through into the chart, order, and care-team communication
Prior data annotation, labeling, or AI evaluation experience is a plus
