Pharmacist — VA Clinical Reviewer

Overview

Visual Connections (VC) is partnering with PRI to deliver expert retrospective clinical reviews for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). As a Pharmacist, you will evaluate charts and case packets and produce structured reviews that assess whether the standard of care was met, respond to specific clinical questions, and provide clear, evidence‑based rationales. This role has no direct patient care. Work is remote and compensated at a flat rate per completed review.

Responsibilities

• Complete VA quality reviews using PRI/VC templates: Peer Review for Quality Management (audit), Facility‑Requested Reviews, Routine Management Reviews, and Medical Advisory Opinions.
• Evaluate core aspects of care such as ordering of diagnostics, management of abnormal results, timeliness and appropriateness of diagnosis and treatment, performance of procedures, recognition/management of clinical deterioration, health‑record documentation, and supervision of trainees when applicable.
• Apply current Pharmacist standards of care (e.g., guidelines, best practices) relevant to cases such as medication reconciliation, anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy, antimicrobial stewardship, transitions of care, high‑alert medications.
• Prepare a concise chronology and narrative analysis, respond directly to case‑specific questions, and cite authoritative references when appropriate.
• Maintain strict confidentiality of VA quality‑assurance records and data; follow all PRI/VC security and privacy requirements.
• Complete attestation of qualifications and absence of conflict of interest prior to assignment; submit reviews within agreed timelines.

Qualifications

• Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from an ACPE-accredited program (or equivalent).
• Active pharmacist license in a U.S. state or territory; in good standing.
• PGY-1/PGY-2 residency and/or board certification (e.g., BCPS, BCACP) preferred; experience in medication safety, antimicrobial stewardship, or anticoagulation management is a plus.
• Demonstrated excellence in clinical writing and critical appraisal of medical records.
• Proficiency with electronic health records (EHRs)/PDF case packets and secure file portals.
• Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and provide objective, defensible opinions.
• Compensation is based on the VA Tier assigned to this specialty and is paid per completed review (hours may vary by case).
• Note: Tier assignment is determined by the VA. All rates are per review completed.
