The Department of Pharmacy, consistent with the mission of Johns Hopkins Medicine, prioritizes teaching, research and patient care. At Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, the department is responsible for providing acute care pharmacy services for a diverse population of medical and surgical patients, with additional services provided in ambulatory clinics. Within the department, there are 17 acute care and primary care clinical pharmacy specialists as well as three PGY1 pharmacy residents. Working collaboratively with Hopkins physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, these practitioners are responsible for the provision of clinical pharmacy services across a broad range of patient care areas. Services are provided in the areas of anticoagulation, ambulatory care, cardiology, critical care, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, internal medicine, oncology, pain and palliative care, surgery, and pediatrics.
Reporting to the Manager of Decentralized and Clinical Pharmacy Services, the Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Internal Medicine will work collaboratively with our multidisciplinary teams to provide specialized pharmaceutical care, develop and apply medication use policies, and participate in research activities.
The Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Internal Medicine will serve as a resource for drug information and education for patients, students, residents, pharmacists, as well as other healthcare professionals. The clinical specialist will serve as a preceptor for pharmacy students and residents in our ASHP-accredited PGY1 residency program. Optional faculty appointments are available through affiliation with the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. Additionally, the clinical specialist will generate and support pharmacy research and scholarly contributions while seeking to assume a leadership role in the profession of pharmacy.
