Your sterile compounding expertise directly supports safe, timely, high-quality medication therapy for patients across a complex academic medical center. In this dedicated IV Room role, you will bring precision, focus, and clinical accountability to a pharmacy environment where accuracy, sterility, teamwork, and pace all matter.

This is an opportunity to join a highly specialized inpatient pharmacy team focused on sterile compounding for adult and pediatric hospital patients.

• Apply USP 797 standards and sterile technique requirements consistently in a high-detail environment.

• Label, prepare, and process patient medications with close attention to accuracy, sterility, and workflow demands.

• Support pediatric medication preparation, including preparing reservoirs for pediatric dosing and pulling patient-specific doses from prepared reservoirs.

• Compound medications for adult inpatient populations and cross-cover adult and pediatric areas when needed.

• Build independence through extensive sterile compounding instruction, dedicated pediatric training, dedicated adult training, educational modules, and progressive onboarding.

Success in this role requires a pharmacist who is adaptable, coachable, team-oriented, comfortable in a busy environment, and able to follow detailed procedures closely . Strong candidates will be ready to learn UVA-specific processes, maintain pace with high-volume work, and consistently uphold sterility requirements.
