Pharmacy Intern

The Patient Care Center at Thrifty White Pharmacy is looking for summer interns interested in broadening their knowledge of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programs.

Interns will be working with patients to ensure correct and safe medication therapies are adhered to while providing recommendations to prescribers should there be a need to intervene. The internship will touch upon platforms frequently used by most major pharmacies such as Outcomes and as well as up-and-coming platforms like PrescribeWellness.

This summer internship strives to provide the full patient-care experience: from identifying a problem and contacting the provider, to receiving the prescription, handling insurance issues, and filling the medication for retail and Long Term Care Patients to ensure patients receive it on time.

At the end of the internship, interns will have a firm handle on pharmacotherapies for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, and COPD as well as understanding when certain vaccine recommendations are appropriate for patients.
