Travel Clinical Pharmacist - Holts Summit, MO

Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, active Pharmacist license, and minimum 1+ years Pharmacist experience required. Applicants who do not meet these qualifications will not be considered.

A temporary pharmacist position is available at a state high-security psychiatric hospital pharmacy located in the Holts Summit, MO area.

The pharmacy operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and observes all Missouri state holidays off. No weekend or on-call coverage is required, providing a predictable schedule.

The pharmacy team includes clinical and informatics pharmacists as well as a psychiatric pharmacist resident, all supporting a well-structured work environment. This role involves primarily reviewing medication technician work products, including verifying bags flagged by inspection software, checking repackaging, bag corrections, and canister refills. You will perform barcode scanning after tech fills to ensure accuracy. While limited order verification is involved, behavioral health experience is not necessary, as direct patient contact is minimal due to the pharmacy’s location outside the secure hospital perimeter.

Training on the Oracle/Cerner order entry system and the Parata ATP2 Packager automation will be provided. Approximately three days of training is required before starting the assignment. The position requires a Missouri pharmacist license and is open to local candidates. Dress code options include business casual or scrubs in any color.
