The pharmacist is embedded within primary care practices and collaborates as part of the interdisciplinary care team to provide evidence-based, patient-centered medication management focused on optimizing medication regimens, improving chronic disease outcomes, and reducing avoidable healthcare utilization.</p> <p>This position supports a new pharmacist-led COPD population health program focused on high-risk patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including transitions of care management, medication optimization, inhaler education, adherence support, and early exacerbation intervention. In addition to COPD-focused responsibilities, the pharmacist will support broader ambulatory care pharmacy services and organizational quality initiatives based on program needs and operational priorities.</p> <p><strong>This is a newly funded program being built from the ground up.</strong> The pharmacist in this role won't inherit an established workflow — they'll help design it: the collaborative practice agreement scope, the clinical protocols, how high-risk patients are identified and followed, and how outcomes are measured. This is an unusual opportunity to shape a program rather than staff one, with the support of an experienced pharmacy team, nurse care managers, and the Chief Medical Officer.</p> <p>The Clinical Pharmacist ensures the safe, effective, evidence-based, and cost-conscious use of medications while promoting high-quality patient care. The pharmacist also serves as a medication and drug information resource for patients, providers, and interdisciplinary care team members.</p> <p><strong>What you’ll do </strong></p> <p>Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:</p> <ul> <li>Functions as the medication expert on the interdisciplinary care team.</li> <li>Reconciles and assesses medication regimens for adherence, safety, effectiveness, and optimization of therapy to achieve desired clinical outcomes.</li> <li>Provides evidence-based, patient-centered medication therapy recommendations in collaboration with providers and care team members.</li> <li>Delivers chronic disease state management services with emphasis on COPD guideline-directed therapy, inhaler
