Job description

Job Description

A highly specialized pharmacist who focuses on providing expert medication management and consultation services to patients undergoing kidney transplantation, including pre-transplant evaluation, surgical management, and post-transplant care, by collaborating closely with the transplant team to optimize medication regimens and minimize potential drug interactions and adverse effects.

Pharmaci

The solid organ transplant pharmacist will assume direct patient care responsibilities throughout the entire continuum of care. Involvement is expected starting from the initial patient selection by a multidisciplinary committee, to the ambulatory preoperative transplant clinic visits and counseling, through rounding on the inpatient service during the acute transplantation period, to follow-up clinic visits post-discharge to ensure ongoing medication adherence. Optimizing the medication regimen throughout the phases of care is key to promoting allograft preservation. This includes monitoring and adjusting immunosuppressive medications while also managing treatments for comorbid disease states. The transplant pharmacist will also provide extensive medication education to patients and their families throughout transitions of care. In the event of acute and/or chronic allograft injury or rejection, the transplant pharmacist will facilitate appropriate treatment selection through use of protocols tailored to the causes of rejection.

Long-term, this pharmacist will be expected to serve as a preceptor for pharmacy students and residents, offering an elective rotation for solid organ transplant. Opportunities exist for longitudinal projects including research, medication use evaluation, and process improvement initiatives.

Qualified candidates must be a graduate of a College of Pharmacy accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and must possess a current Virginia pharmacist license or be eligible for licensure. An ASHP-accredited PGY1 Pharmacy Residency is required and specialized PGY2 residency training in Solid Organ Transplantation is preferred. Applicants must possess excellent leadership, communication, interpersonal and teamwork skills, as well as demonstrate advanced skills in critical thinking and analysis. Must be able to effectively budget time, work efficiently and accurately, and follow procedures with minimum supervision.

Qualifications

Education: Must be a graduate of a College of Pharmacy accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).

Experience: ASHP-accredited Pharmacy Practice Residency or three years of previous clinical pharmacy experience in a relevant care setting required for all new hires or transfers.

Licensure, certification, and/or registration: License to practice Pharmacy in the Commonwealth of Virginia required within 90 days of hire. During the first 90 days of employment and the licensure application process, pharmacists without a valid license to practice pharmacy in the Commonwealth of Virginia may not perform duties restricted to a licensed pharmacist until the license is obtained. If the license is not obtained within 90 days of employment, the employee may be subject to separation from the facilitator.

Other Minimum Qualifications: Must possess good leadership, communication, interpersonal and teamwork skills. Must be able to effectively budget time, work efficiently and accurately, and follow procedures with minimum supervision. Excellent critical thinking and analytical skills. Work requires knowledge of general office equipment and procedures including computer and keyboarding skills. All pharmacists must complete an Orientation Competency.
