Hartford Hospital is one of the largest and most respected teaching hospitals New England. We are a Level 1 Trauma Center that provides cutting edge treatment to its patients. This is made possible by being home to the largest robotic surgery center in the Northeast and the Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI), one of the most-advanced medical simulation training centers in the world. When hospitals cannot provide the advanced care, expertise and new treatment options their patients require, they turn to us.

The Pharmacy Department at Hartford Hospital utilizes a decentralized model with pharmacists embedded on medical teams to advice on optimal drug therapy. We also have an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited Pharmacy Residency program, an active Oncology infusion service, and a Retail/Specialty outpatient pharmacy.

The Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Specialist will collaborate as an integral member of the multidisciplinary team in the provision of care for patients in our medical clinics to optimize and promote rational, safe, evidence-based and cost-effective therapy. In addition to direct patient care responsibilities, the clinical pharmacy specialist will: actively participate in committees and /or workgroups; collaborate in the review of new and existing medications, clinical practice guidelines and other related policies used in the management of the clinic-specific medical conditions.
