• Administer immunizations where you are certified and the site offers them
• Maintain compliance with Florida Board of Pharmacy rules, HIPAA and the site's own policies and documentation
• Run the floor of an independent community pharmacy end to end - intake, verification, counseling and problem-solving at the window
• Work with an older patient population on adherence, med sync and Medicare Part D questions
• Support community health center dispensing workflows, including 340B and sliding-fee programs where the health center runs them

Qualifications

• Active Florida pharmacist license in good standing, or a Florida license application in progress (required)
• PharmD or BS in Pharmacy from an ACPE-accredited program

• Clear, professional communication with patients, prescribers, technicians and facility staff

The settings

What kind of work this is

• Single-day and PRN relief, as often as suits you
