ABOUT US
River Valley Specialty Pharmacy is an innovative and rapidly growing pharmacy with the goal to be the premier specialty pharmacy in the State of Arkansas, respected by providers and trusted by patients. We are looking for our 3rd full-time pharmacist that would like a 4 day work week. The ideal candidate will be a business-minded pharmacist with a passion for leadership and growth. The pharmacy is staffed with a well-trained team, including a full-time staff pharmacist, a part-time staff pharmacist, and 4 full-time pharmacy technicians that are accustomed to the workflow and will help the Pharmacy Manager learn the ropes.
We pride ourselves in customer service and clinical expertise, and set ourselves apart from other pharmacies in the time we dedicate to counseling patients on their prescriptions, and working with prescribers to find the optimal treatment choice for patients. Many of the prescriptions we fill require prior authorizations and working with third party payers to get approval, and we work tirelessly to get patients prescriptions covered. Our customer service is unparalleled, so the ideal candidate will have a positive attitude and will exemplify the customer service reputation we have built.
Candidate must hold a valid pharmacist license in good standing in the State of Arkansas, and be eligible to be a pharmacist in charge.
A typical day in our pharmacy will require the Pharmacist in Charge (PIC) to be able to handle and oversee multiple tasks simultaneously. We currently have an additional full-time staff pharmacist and pharmacy technician for operational support. Each prescription can potentially take more time and energy to move from intake to dispensing. The PIC will need to oversee prior authorizations, communication with prescribers' offices, coordinating deliveries, and ordering and managing inventory. The PIC will also be expected to dedicate a certain amount of time every week to strategize with the owners on process improvement, strategies for growth, and plans to market and advertise the pharmacy's services.
