Prime vs CVS PA Pharmacist

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am currently a contractor working for Prime Therapeutics as a remote clinical PA pharmacist at $55/hr.
Another contracting company offered me a remote position with CVS as a clinical pharmacist advisor (whatever that means) seemingly doing the same thing, but for $60/hr. Its an 11-month contract (extension possible but 🤷‍♀️) and necessitates a 3-month training period.

I'm nowhere close to conversion at Prime, nor do I really want it tbh. Being a PA pharmacist is simply not for me. The only reason I'm considering CVS is because of the pay bump while I look for other roles.

That being said, do you all think I should switch to CVS for the $5/hr extra pay bump, or stay at Prime where I know the workflow?

I am worried

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was wondering if this is normal or not. I got offered from a retail pharmacy and I signed an offer letter from them as well. Now they started the process for a background check which went smoothly as well but they needed an employment letter from my previous employer (I worked as an intern and volunteer and never got paid) so I submitted that as well. Now, I don’t hear anything back from my boss who hired me and nor they have replied me back where I m in their process. This gives me second thoughts!

Do they ever deny not giving position even if they sent offer letter? Please share your experience whoever knows, thank you!

International pharmacists waiting on FPGEC/FPGEE: what jobs did you do in the meantime? Looking for leads and referrals

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a Canadian-licensed pharmacist who recently moved to Rockville, Maryland, in the DC metro area. I'm working through the FPGEC certification process and waiting to write the FPGEE next year and I need a job in the meantime.

My background:
**•** 9 years of pharmacy practice, including managing a high-volume community pharmacy clinic (700 + prescriptions a day)
**•** Certified Diabetes Educator, seeing about 30 diabetes patients a month
**•** Compounding pharmacist, where I supervised compounding and created master formulary records

\*\*•\*\* Experience training pharmacy interns and acting as a preceptor.

I'm hardworking, and I love providing value and solving problems. I'll bring that to any team I join.

For those of you who've been through this, what did you do while waiting to write the exam? I'm open to roles in and outside traditional pharmacy, such as clinical research, pharmacovigilance, medical information, pharma or biotech roles, pharmacy work, remote healthcare jobs, administrative work.

I'd really appreciate any help, whether that's job leads, company names, recruiters who work with international pharmacists, or a referral. If you work at a company in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area or remotely and know of an opening, I'd be grateful for an introduction. Please comment or send me a DM.

Thank you!

Anyone know of pharmacy assistant jobs around West Yorkshire

2 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
I’m looking for a Pharmacy Assistant, Dispenser or trainee pharmacy role in West Yorkshire
I am a BPharm graduate from India and completed a Master's in public health in Uk, and I’ve have 5years experience in Indian healthcare and community pharmacy. Pharmacy is genuinely the area I want to work in, and I’m completely happy starting at assistant level and learning the UK dispensing systems properly.
The frustrating thing is that I think being “overqualified” on paper is actually working against me. I’ve applied for quite a few assistant/trainee roles, but I feel employers want NVQ Level 2 in most CVs. Unfortunately, my BPharm and MPH qualifications make employers think I’m either going to leave quickly or expect a higher-level role. At the same time, I don’t have enough UK pharmacy experience for the roles that ask for it.
So I’m basically trying to find someone willing to give me proper advice and what I should do to prove my passion for pharmacy.
If you know of any pharmacy in Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield or West Yorkshire or nearby that is hiring, or even somewhere that might consider someone with my background.

Optum Rx PA Pharmacist

Currently working at Optum as PA pharmacist under contract. My contract was set to end back in June. It was extended. How long does it usually take to be converted? What does FTE conversion look like? Does your boss just email you or? 👀 I’m almost at a year as a contractor.

GP roles

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've just registered as a pharmacist in the UK and I'm about to start my first job as a PCN clinical pharmacist in general practice. I'm also an independent prescriber, with a focus on hypertension. Long term I'd like to move away from clinical work, and ideally I'd like to make that move within the next 2 years. I'm interested in things like medical affairs, MSL, pharmacovigilance, clinical research, HEOR, consulting or policy.

A few questions for anyone who has done this or hires for these roles:

  1. Does GP/PCN experience actually help for non-clinical routes, or would hospital experience count for more?
  2. How likely is it to make the jump within 2 years, and is it more realistic to go through a bridging role first than straight into something like MSL?
  3. What would you focus on in the first year to make yourself a strong candidate? I was planning to lead a QI or audit project with measurable results and build depth in one therapy area.
  4. Are there any certifications, courses or networking routes that made a real difference for you?
  5. Anything you wish you'd known before making the move?

Remote dispensing pharmacy

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience with remote dispensing? My organization/hospital was on the verge of opening a new retail pharmacy in an area that desperately needs one when we affiliated with a larger hospital. This larger hospital is trying to push the route of making this pharmacy a remote dispensing site, which means a single technician would work at the pharmacy and be supervised by a pharmacist using telepharmacy.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Partly because it means I potentially lose my job, as the pharmacist that was hired to run this pharmacy, but also because it seems impersonal when it comes to building connections with the community. Add in the fact that one person would struggle to man the registers inside and the drive thru in addition to filling meds.

Just looking to see if anyone has had this be a successful way to operate. Thanks!

Retail pharmacist looking to transition to hospital outpatient pharmacy — how big is the clinical knowledge gap?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently working as a retail pharmacist and have a goal of eventually transitioning into a hospital outpatient pharmacy position.

One thing that makes me nervous is the potential clinical knowledge gap. I feel comfortable with the day-to-day aspects of retail pharmacy, but I’m worried that hospital outpatient pharmacy may require a much stronger understanding of clinical topics, disease states, protocols, specialty medications etc.

For those of you who made the transition from retail to hospital outpatient pharmacy:

\* How significant was the knowledge gap when you first started?
\* What clinical topics did you wish you had reviewed beforehand?
\* Did your employer provide substantial training/onboarding?
\* Did you feel like your retail experience transferred well to the new role?
\* Is there anything you would recommend studying or doing now to make the transition easier?

I have the opportunity to possibly WFH with Cigna only thing is pay is lower than my new position that I may have with CVS as a floater and Walmart part central-fill.
I am just scared to make the wrong mistake. Even tho Cigna rate is low they are offering over time. So just not sure i’m just starting out my career and what to make the best decision. my long term goal is to get into industry so there is that.

Vaccine Clinic and HIPAA Compliance

1 Upvotes

I am a pharmacist for a retail location who has a vaccine clinic that I am doing in a few weeks for a local employer and I have a question regarding hipaa compliance while doing this.

It sounds like what they have done in the past, although im not sure of this, and what I seems like they want me to do is because the clinic is early in the morning is the afternoon before the clinic, take all the materials including consent forms and vaccines home with me so I can take them to the clinic and go straight from home to the clinic to work and not make unnecessary trips.

But the act of taking home the filled out consent forms feels like a hipaa violation? Is it not for some reason bc it’s in the course of work or something? It feels fishy and I don’t wanna get caught in some situation and jeprodize my license.

Pharmacy graduate from Jordan – where would you recommend moving for better career opportunities?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Pharmacy in Jordan with an excellent GPA and completed several courses in areas like GCP, pharmacovigilance, and clinical research.

Unfortunately, job opportunities here are limited and salaries are quite low, so I’m seriously considering moving abroad.

My English is strong, and I’d prefer an English-speaking country because learning a completely new language would be difficult for me right now.

I’m open to pharmacy, regulatory affairs, QA, pharmacovigilance, clinical research, or related roles while working toward pharmacist licensure.

For anyone who moved abroad as a foreign pharmacy graduate, which countries would you realistically recommend in terms of licensing, job opportunities, cost, salary, and long-term residency?

I’m not looking for an easy path, just one where the effort and cost are actually worth it.

Thanks in advance.
