Job description
Staff Pharmacist
Hospital / Health System Pharmacy • South Central Ohio • Full-Time Multiple openings
The opportunity
We're recruiting staff pharmacists for an independent, not-for-profit regional health system in south central Ohio. Decisions are made locally, leadership is visible, and the people receiving care are neighbors.
Several positions are open at once. The work covers processing physician drug orders across inpatient, outpatient, and/or retail, and the specific area of assignment varies by position - that's a conversation to have directly rather than something a posting settles.
What you'll do
The staff pharmacist is responsible for the safe, therapeutic, and rational preparation and dispensing of medications across the health system, in compliance with applicable law, accrediting standards, system policy, and sound pharmaceutical ethics. Decisions are made independently or in collaboration with another pharmacist.
Day to day, you will:
Process physician drug orders accurately and on time - inpatient, outpatient, and/or retail
Compound sterile and non-sterile medications using generally accepted pharmacy principles
Assess each drug order for appropriateness and intervene when necessary
Complete and document pharmacy operations accurately and on time, working proficiently across all required IT systems
Document quality assurance activity - adverse drug reactions, medication evaluations, medication errors, and other assigned items
Lead and direct pharmacy technicians, support personnel, students, and interns so daily operations run accurately and efficiently
Maintain clinical competence in every activity relevant to your assigned area
Depending on assignment, the role may also include direct patient interaction: medication and disease-state education and counseling, minor lab procedures and interpretation of results, and immunization administration under approved system protocols.
You'll maintain competency with patients in all age groups unless assigned to a specific population, and coverage may be required at any entity within the system.
Reports to: Pharmacy Director
What you'll need Graduate of an ACPE-accredited pharmacy program - BS in Pharmacy or PharmD, both accepted
Current license to practice pharmacy in the State of Ohio
Immunization certification, depending on assigned area
Preferred: one to two years in the area of assignment. This is a preference, not a hard requirement - pharmacists earlier in their careers and those returning to hospital practice from other settings are in scope.
Schedule
Full-time, variable shifts. Overtime-eligible. Occasional travel. Coverage may be required at any entity within the system.
Compensation and benefits
Up to $170,809 annually, based on experience and licensure. Full benefits package with strong healthcare coverage options
3.5% retirement match with an automatic annual increase
PTO that grows with tenure
Tuition assistance and education support
Relocation assistance is not offered for this position.
Growth
Development here is built through relationships, mentorship, and opportunity rather than a fixed ladder: Emerging leader and leadership development programs
Tuition assistance and education support
Skill-building and lateral career opportunities
Visibility with leaders who recognize potential early
Location
South central Ohio, roughly an hour from the Columbus metro area - a small-city and rural setting with a major metro within easy reach.
About the organization
An independent, not-for-profit health system serving a multi-county region of southern Ohio through several hospitals and a network of outpatient locations. The system has been in its community for well over a century and employs several thousand people, including hundreds of physicians and advanced practice providers, most of whom live in the communities they serve.
Its stated priorities are community-centered decision making, cross-functional collaboration, and visible leadership.
