Travel Pharmacy Jobs
If you’ve always regarded travel as a leisure activity, then you’ve been missing out on the best kept secret in the pharmacy industry! There’s a select group of men and women who are traveling frequently—all over the U.S.—from sunny Florida to coastal Maine to stylish San Francisco. They’re staying in nice lofts, enjoying great restaurants and activities, expanding their knowledge through some of the top pharmaceutical settings in this country, and here’s the best part of all—they’re getting paid to do it!
You see, for most of us, traveling is what we do on vacation, but imagine traveling as a lifestyle and as part of a rewarding and challenging pharmacy career. So what’s the difference between travel pharmacy and other types of pharmacy careers?
A pharmacy career on your terms
One of the biggest advantages of travel pharmacy is that the pharmacists pick and choose where and when they wish to work. Each assignment allows you to see the country, meet new people, and experience new adventures while gaining valuable career training. You’ll enjoy outstanding pay, benefits customized to your needs, and, most importantly, the freedom to select when and where you travel! The flexibility of travel pharmacy lets you be in control.
Travel pharmacy can take many forms. Some pharmacists prefer to take a series of short-term temporary pharmacy assignments in various parts of the country; some take assignments close to home; others prefer long-term assignments in one favorite destination. Some pharmacists choose to travel alone while others bring their pets, spouses, and children.
Travel versus Permanent
Our travel pharmacy professionals typically take on assignments that last thirteen weeks, however, some may last four weeks while others may last more than twenty weeks. We work with you and our clients to create opportunities that meet everyone’s needs and desires. Upon completion of an assignment, the pharmacist can move on to a new assignment or choose to take time off between assignments. In comparison, permanent pharmacists stay in one location and work a set shift. The flexibility and change of scenery and pace make travel pharmacy extremely appealing to many pharmacy professionals.
Travel versus Per Diem
Travel pharmacists typically fill a gap that exists when a permanent pharmacist is unable to work for a set period of time. Maternity, short- and long-term disability and other prolonged absences can necessitate the need for a travel pharmacist. In contrast, per diem pharmacists work day to day. A per diem pharmacist can fill a gap created in one single day due to an unexpected staff shortage.
