Your Opportunity:
This Pharmacist I position offers the opportunity to work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team that includes infectious disease physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, dietitians, and clinical pharmacists at the Northern Alberta Program (NAP) at the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. NAP provides comprehensive assessment, treatment, education, and support for individuals living with HIV in an ambulatory care setting, including access to antiretroviral therapy. Practicing to full scope, the pharmacist is responsible for reviewing and optimizing medication therapy by identifying and resolving actual or potential drug-related problems to improve patient outcomes. This involves active collaboration with the healthcare team and building strong, patient-centered relationships to develop individualized treatment plans. Responsibilities include selecting, initiating, and adapting therapy, prescribing where appropriate, and documenting interventions, monitoring plans, and patient outcomes. The role also involves ensuring continuity of care through coordination with community pharmacies and Rexall Outpatient Pharmacies. The pharmacist will participate in rapid antiretroviral initiation, supporting newly diagnosed patients, those re-engaging in care, and newcomers to Canada. Strong organizational and clinical prioritization skills are essential to manage competing demands. Additional responsibilities include providing drug information, delivering medication counselling, and completing administrative tasks such as Specialized High-Cost Drug Funding Program enrollment. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are paramount for success in this position. Alberta Health Services Pharmacy Services offers more than a job; this is an opportunity to grow professionally, lead, and make a meaningful impact every day.
