Portland OR United States Oregon Health & Science University Full time

Department Overview:

OHSU is Oregon’s only public academic health center. We are a system of hospitals and clinics across Oregon and southwest Washington. We are an institution of higher learning, with schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry and public health – and with a network of campuses and partners throughout Oregon. We are a national research hub, with thousands of scientists developing lifesaving therapies and deeper understanding. We are a statewide economic engine and Portland’s largest employer. And as a public organization, we provide services for the most vulnerable Oregonians, and outreach to improve health in communities across the state.

The purpose of this position is to provide the services of a licensed pharmacist which includes the responsibility for the safe and proper distribution and use of drugs in inpatients and outpatients who range in age from neonates, infants less than one year of age, children and adolescents ages 10-18, adults ages 19-65 and the elderly over age 65. This position is to function at higher decision making levels regarding drug therapy, proactively affecting drug use by making recommendations at the time prescribing decisions are being made or, in some cases, making independent decisions about drug therapy in cooperation with other health team members.

This is a flexible model where traditionally centralized functions, such as order entry/verifications, will become part of decentralized practice as the technology associated with patient care evolves.

  • Identifies, resolves and documents complex therapeutic problems, demonstrating advanced knowledge and application of this knowledge to a specific patient population.
  • Responds accurately to requests for drug information from physicians, nurses, patients and patient's families; independently reviews and interprets the literature and applies this information to specific patient care situations.
  • Monitors therapeutic response and adverse effects of medications to guide drug therapy. Consults with provider when questions or problems are identified. Appropriately reports all adverse drug reactions, drug defects, and medication errors.
  • Directs the work of students/residents and monitors and evaluates their performance.
  • Influences standards of therapy by forming peer level relationships with attending medical staff members; is recognized as a drug authority in a specialized practice area by physicians, nurses and pharmacists.
  • Assists in the development of treatment guidelines to be used in patients with specific diagnosis. Documents activities in the patient medical record, pharmacy monitoring profile, drug use evaluation data collection or adverse drug reaction reporting program.
  • Interprets and evaluates physician's orders and prescriptions for accuracy, completeness and appropriateness. Verifies the accuracy and appropriateness of medications prepared and dispensed from the central pharmacy. Supervises the activities and assumes responsibility for all duties being performed by pharmacy technicians in your work areas.
Required Qualifications:

Education:

  • B.S. Pharmacy or Pharm.D.
  • Practice Residency or Specialist Certification (BCPS, BCOPS, etc)
  • Oregon State Board of Pharmacy License, CPR/BLS

Experience:

  • Inpatient hospital pharmacy practice

Job Related Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (Competencies):

  • Pharmaceutical care principles
  • Age-related modification of drug therapy
  • Disease-related modification of drug therapy
  • Contemporary medication use systems
  • Interpersonal, formal and informal communication, including presentations
  • Project management concepts

  • Computer skills including use of the EMR, and common word processing, spreadsheet, and databases.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • PGY-2 Specialty Residency
  • BLS/ACLS certification
  • Vaccination certification
  • Specialist Certifications (BCPS, BCOPS, etc)
Additional Details:

The pharmacist will experience competing demands from nurses, physicians, pharmacy staff and other healthcare professionals, as they attempt to influence clinical decision-making, clinical policies and practices and work flow. The pharmacist must deal with intense situations on a daily basis. In addition, within the healthcare setting there can be significant lack of control over the work pace, with frequent interruptions (work is often dictated by external factors) that may lead to mental fatigue or stress.

We are proud of our commitment to being an equal opportunity, affirmative action organization that does not discriminate against applicants on the basis of any protected class status, including disability status and protected veteran status.
