Job Summary

The MGBMG Pharmacy Department aims to expand clinical pharmacy services across the Mass General Brigham Medical Group (MGBMG) locations in a way that enhances the patient experience, health outcomes, and quality. One of the key goals is ensuring that our patients with chronic diseases are supported in achieving clinical outcomes known to reduce morbidity and mortality from these conditions. Pharmacists can play a key role in this goal by offering higher touch services (medication prescribing, monitoring, education) to patients that are struggling with chronic disease management. Working with primary care providers, population health coordinators, high-risk nursing programs, and community health workers, the pharmacist has the potential to positively impact patients through virtual, in-person appointments, and telemedicine.

In collaboration with the MGBMG team, the Ambulatory Clinical Pharmacist will monitor the medication use process in accordance with the laws and regulations governing credentialed pharmacists and the practice of pharmacy by the appropriate state and federal agencies. They will work relatively independently, and within the limits of established pharmacy/ambulatory care practice site policies and procedures, as a member of the patient care team. The Ambulatory Clinical Pharmacist will report to the Clinical Pharmacy Manager at MGBMG and be responsible for working at the top of their licensure in collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) work, as well as in-service presentations, clinical consult work, collaboration with our pharmacy team, and development of work to assist in the expansion of our department.
