Job description

Fertility treatments are complex, and patients rely on expert guidance to navigate their medications with confidence. As a Fertility Pharmacist at Mount Sinai Hospital, you won’t just dispense prescriptions—you’ll provide in-depth, personalized medication counseling, ensuring each patient understands their treatment plan and feels supported every step of the way. Unlike traditional pharmacy roles, this position allows for more dedicated time with patients, giving you the opportunity to make a real impact on their journey. Working closely with physicians, nurses, and other clinical staff, you'll blend clinical expertise with compassionate patient education, making a tangible difference at every stage of the fertility treatment process.

Is this you?
Are you skilled at breaking down intricate medical information into clear, actionable guidance? Fertility treatments involve highly specialized Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (GREI) protocols, requiring you to interpret complex medication regimens and articulate critical details to both patients and health care professionals. You ensure that patients understand timing-sensitive prescriptions, while also collaborating precisely with physicians and nurses to keep treatment plans on track.

You approach fertility care with both precision and compassion. You recognize that each patient’s journey is deeply personal, and you take the time to listen, educate, and provide reassurance. Whether ensuring medications are dispensed accurately or guiding a patient through the complexities of their treatment plan, you bring a thoughtful and detail-oriented approach that makes a meaningful difference in their experience.

If you are highly organized and thrive in a role that requires careful attention to detail, this position is an ideal fit for you. From early-morning prescription filling to coordinating medication pickups after patient monitoring appointments, you are adept at managing time-sensitive tasks without compromising accuracy. Your structured approach ensures medications are dispensed on schedule, maintaining smooth coordination and supporting patient care effectively.
