[Hiring] Pharmacy Student Clinical Support Specialist @Waymark

Role Description

The Pharmacy Student Clinical Support Specialist is a unique, remote clinical position designed for Ohio-based pharmacy students pursuing careers in ambulatory pharmacy practice.

• Develop and deliver clinical trainings for non-licensed team members as part of professional development.

• ADT Event Tracking: Summarize recent Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) events to identify transitions of care needs.
• Clinical Synthesis: Extract and identify patient’s chronic conditions and key provider recommendations.
• Preliminary Screening: Flag medical conditions or social determinants of health that may be effectively impacted by the interdisciplinary team for pharmacist review and prioritization.
• Clinical Documentation: Provide clear, concise written summaries of findings to be utilized by the clinical pharmacist and licensed clinical managers to direct patient care.

• Communication: Strong clinical writing skills with the ability to summarize complex data for a multi-professional audience.
• Commitment: Ability to commit to 12 hours per week throughout the academic year.
