Mass General Brigham
Job Summary
The Massachusetts General Hospital is seeking highly motivated pharmacists to join our expanding team of Primary Care Pharmacists. This position offers a rare and exciting opportunity to contribute to the strategic development and implementation of new clinical pharmacy services within a primary care setting.
This one full-time pharmacist (1.0 FTE) position, with flexible options available for candidates who may be interested in a part‑time role (0.8 FTE), focuses on managing chronic disease states through a Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM) agreement. Initial efforts will focus on hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, expanding to additional disease states in the future.
Responsibilities
Conduct comprehensive patient visits, create and implement patient‑centered, guideline‑directed disease‑state management strategies, and provide ongoing monitoring.
Collaborate with physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, population health coordinators, medication access coordinators, and community health workers to support holistic, patient‑centered care and improve health outcomes.
Participate in quality improvement initiatives, research, and the training and education of multidisciplinary team members and learners.
Qualifications Clinical Pharmacists assume responsibility and accountability for the provision of safe, effective, and prompt medication therapy. Clinical Pharmacists proficiently provide direct patient-centered care and integrated pharmacy operational services with physicians, nurses, and other hospital personnel to deliver optimal medication therapy to patients with a broad range of disease states. These clinicians are aligned with target interdisciplinary programs and specialty services to deliver medication therapy management and to ensure pharmaceutical care programs are appropriately integrated throughout the institution. Pharmaceutical care services include, but are not limited to, assessing patient needs, incorporating age and disease-specific characteristics into drug therapy and patient education, adjusting care according to patient response, and providing clinical interventions to detect, mitigate, and prevent medication adverse events. Clinical Pharmacists serve as departmental resources and liaisons to other departments, hospital personnel, or external groups. They proficiently manage the appropriate use of medications according to professional and regulatory standards. They also conduct practice-related research and patient care, quality, and regulatory compliance initiatives designed to improve medication-use processes or pharmacy practice. Finally, Clinical Pharmacists provide medication and practice-related education/training and actively serve as preceptors for pharmacy residents and Doctor of Pharmacy students.
