Job Description
JOB DETAILS
This Hospital Pharmacist opportunity is located in Lynchburg, Virginia, a picturesque city set along the James River with sweeping views, historic charm, and easy access to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lynchburg offers a strong sense of community, a revitalized downtown with local restaurants and shops, and plentiful outdoor activities, including miles of greenways and trails, riverfront parks, and nearby hiking and biking options. The area's reasonable cost of living, well-regarded schools, and welcoming neighborhoods make it appealing for both early-career professionals and those looking to settle long term. Within the hospital, you will join a collaborative and patient-centered pharmacy team that partners closely with physicians, nurses, and other disciplines to deliver safe, high-quality inpatient care. The facility features modern pharmacy operations with electronic medical records, computerized order entry, and medication safety technologies designed to support efficient, accurate workflows. As a Hospital Pharmacist, you will be responsible for reviewing and verifying medication orders, performing clinical dosing assessments, and ensuring appropriate medication selection, dosing, and monitoring based on patient-specific factors. Daily responsibilities may include participating in interdisciplinary rounds, supporting antimicrobial stewardship and anticoagulation services, and providing drug information and education to the care team. You will oversee and verify sterile and non-sterile compounding in accordance with applicable standards, support controlled substance management, and contribute to medication safety initiatives. The patient population is primarily adult medical-surgical and may include intensive care, step-down, and specialty service lines depending on coverage needs and your experience. Typical staffing includes a mix of central pharmacy responsibilities and decentralized clinical coverage on nursing units to ensure timely interventions and close coordination with providers. Shifts may include days, evenings, nights, or a combination with rotating weekends and holidays, offering exposure to a wide variety of clinical scenarios and learning opportunities. The hospital environment is supportive and team-oriented, with pharmacists encouraged to participate in committees, quality projects, and educational programs that help shape medication-use practices. In this role, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your clinical skills, contribute to meaningful patient outcomes, and grow professionally in a community that balances a relaxed lifestyle with access to rich cultural, educational, and outdoor experiences.
