- Remaining flexible for scheduling and business needs, while contributing to a safe, inclusive, and engaging team dynamic; supporting the Pharmacy Manager by writing the pharmacy schedule if/as directed.
- Maintaining relevant clinical and technical skills for the evolving industry (including company-required trainings and CMEs); actively seeking opportunities to expand knowledge to better support patients.
