CPhT 3 PRN (Mon-Fri Day Shift) - Ambulatory Care (Community Care Clinics)
Pharmacy technician jobs in our department are distinct and very different from what you would find in a regular retail or hospital pharmacy. The technician collaborates directly with a team of embedded board-certified clinical pharmacists, pharmacist residents, and pharmacy students in our community care clinics as part of our "Pharmily" to provide direct patient care. Our community care clinics provide outpatient care to underinsured, uninsured, and impoverished patients by utilizing multidisciplinary teams and clinical personnel. The chronic disease department (nurses/community health workers), behavioral health department (social workers/students), and community navigation department (community health workers) are amongst the multidisciplinary team members. A bilingual candidate is strongly desired, as over 80% of the patients we serve in our clinics speak Spanish.
Alongside a pharmacist, our technicians assist patients with medication affordability, education, reconciliation, adherence, and smoking cessation consultations. In addition, they also offer patients and providers formulary and pricing information as a part of our efforts on medication affordability. Prescription assistance programs (PAPs) are another important resource we use extensively because the majority of our patients are either underinsured or uninsured. We use a database to track PAPs, and some familiarity with PAPs is preferred. Technicians may be asked to assist with application processing and tracking, analyzing eligibility and enrollment, and overseeing the entire application for accuracy
Our ideal candidate will be able to work well with a wide range of individuals, be flexible when faced with change, have outstanding soft and communication skills, and naturally be able to solve problems. There will be travel within the DFW Metroplex (Dallas, Irving, Plano, & Ft Worth), therefore a valid driver's license and reliable transportation are essential. The organization does provide mileage reimbursement for travel outside of your normal assigned work location.
