What does a per diem pharmacist do?

“Per diem” is Latin, meaning “per day;” a per diem pharmacist has identical duties and responsibilities to those of a normal pharmacist, but the terms of their employment differ. As a per diem pharmacist, you fill and refill prescriptions for medications, provide important information and education to each patient, and carefully track and monitor controlled substances. As a per diem employee, you are contracted on a daily basis, frequently picking up irregular shifts. While this arrangement can provide flexibility, it can also be limiting, as your ability to plan for other work is severely curtailed. Additionally, per diem employees are not provided with health care or similar benefits afforded to full-time employees.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a per diem pharmacist?

To thrive as a Per Diem Pharmacist, you need a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, active pharmacist licensure, and thorough knowledge of medication therapy and pharmacy law. Familiarity with pharmacy management systems (like Epic or Cerner), automated dispensing cabinets, and immunization certifications are typically required. Strong attention to detail, adaptability, and effective communication skills help you excel in various pharmacy settings and quickly integrate with different teams. These competencies ensure safe, accurate medication dispensing and high-quality patient care, even when working on an as-needed basis.

What are some common challenges faced by per diem pharmacists, and how can they effectively adapt to different pharmacy environments?

Per Diem Pharmacists often work in various settings, such as hospitals, retail pharmacies, or clinics, which can present challenges like adapting quickly to new workflows, software systems, and team dynamics. To succeed, it's important to be flexible, maintain strong communication skills, and stay up-to-date with current pharmacy practices. Building a solid foundation in standard procedures and being proactive in asking questions can help Per Diem Pharmacists integrate smoothly into new environments and provide high-quality patient care.

Job description

Per-Diem Pharmacist

Etain Health is New York's only family-run, women founded and operated medical marijuana company. We are committed to manufacturing clean, safe, and consistent medical marijuana products for the patients of New York State. Etain was founded in honor of the matriarch of our family, Frances "Granny Fanny" Keeffe: during her battle with ALS we saw first-hand the strength and comfort that medical marijuana could provide.

Our mantra, "Take a moment with Etain", embodies the spirit and belief that our products meet the diverse needs of our community by delivering the highest quality and purest products so our customers feel good about investing in their health and wellbeing.

Etain was one of the original five licensees in New York in 2015 and now has dispensaries in Yonkers, Kingston, Syracuse and a flagship in Midtown East in New York City. We believe the future of cannabis is diverse, and we execute every day on making that future a reality by doing things differently and fostering diversity and inclusion in the cannabis space. Our passionate, women-led organization shares a singular goal: to deliver on our promise of simplicity, care, and trust.

Etain is seeking passionate, driven and hardworking individuals to fill positions as Per-Diem Pharmacists for its Syracuse location 1-2 days per week.

  • Answering questions and requests from health care practitioners about pharmacological information, drug therapies, and potential adverse reactions
  • Maintaining a positive work environment and a high level of customer service
  • Maintaining pharmacological knowledge through educational workshops, professional publications, personal networks, and participating in professional societies
  • Other tasks as assigned by management

Essential job duties include:

  • Manage working inventory and day stock
  • Manage and process point of sale transactions
  • Counsel patients, doctors, and other healthcare providers on medical products
  • Open schedule capable of working weekends
  • Follow thorough instructions without deviation
  • Maintain safe and clean working environment

Qualifications:

  • Pharmacy degree (BS or PharmD)
  • Active NY pharmacist license in good standing
  • Completion of 4 hour NYSDOH approved course
  • Must be computer literate and capable of accurate data entry
