At Cleveland Clinic, you’ll work with the most advanced medication use system that today’s technology can provide. We’ve transformed the entire process all the way from computerized prescriber order entry to a state of the art USP 797 clean room for IV admixtures - to automated repackaging devices and horizontal carousels for drug packaging, storage, inventory control and dispensing - to automated procurement and administration documentation at the nursing unit. In the central pharmacy, the pharmacist’s practice focus is on accurate and timely medication order review, clarification, intervention, processing, preparation and dispensing. Pharmacists at the Cleveland Clinic work in a unique pharmacist model that does not currently require a residency
Most new staff pharmacists at the Cleveland Clinic are initially oriented and trained in the Central Pharmacy area. During this time, you will also be introduced to Sterile Products, Specialty Satellites, Informatics, Anticoagulation, Quality and many other areas of practice. Then, as you show an interest in or an aptitude for a particular area of practice, you’ll find an abundance of additional training is available for whatever track you wish to pursue.
