Key Responsibilities

• Clinical Review & Protocol Verification: Conduct thorough clinical evaluations of complex treatment and supportive care plans to confirm they are evidence-based, medically appropriate, and accurately dosed.

• Patient Care & Provider Consultation: Educate patients on medication management, potential side effects, and interaction risks (including dietary and alcohol precautions). Provide expert drug information and clinical guidance to physicians and clinical personnel, while supporting staff in-service programs.
• Technician Supervision: Direct daily pharmacy technician workflows, auditing order entries, charge accuracy, inventory logs, compounding techniques, and final product labeling.
• Operational & Formulary Strategy: Partner with leadership and interdisciplinary teams to evaluate drug utilization, implement quarterly formulary updates, identify rebate and cost-containment opportunities, and collaborate with billing/authorizations to support payor-compliant, cost-effective therapy choices.
• Inventory & Admixture Workflow: Verify patient insurance authorizations prior to compounding. Audit incoming pharmaceutical shipments, manage stock levels, handle temperature excursions, and maintain precise drug inventory logs.
• Additional Duties: Perform other clinical or operational tasks as assigned to support clinic workflows.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Cleanroom & Compounding Expertise: Hands-on experience with sterile compounding and cleanroom operations (USP <797> / <800> ) is required.
