Staff Pharmacist | Holts Summit, Missouri

A temporary pharmacist role is available in Fulton, MO, supporting a state high-security psychiatric hospital pharmacy. This contract position starts early September and will continue until a permanent pharmacist is hired. The work schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with no weekend or on-call duties. The pharmacy observes all Missouri state holidays and remains closed on those days.

Qualified candidates must hold a valid Missouri pharmacist license. The pharmacy utilizes Oracle/Cerner for order entry and the Parata ATP2 Packager automation system; no prior experience with these systems is necessary as training will be provided (~3 days before start).

This pharmacy environment involves limited direct patient contact, as the pharmacy is located in a separate building outside the secure psychiatric hospital perimeter.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct pharmacist verification of technician-prepared medication bags, including reviewing flags from InspectRx, repackaging, correcting bags, and refilling canisters.
• Use barcode scanning to verify medications filled by the technician.
• Coordinate with pharmacy staff for troubleshooting and support as needed.
• Perform limited order verification; behavioral health experience is not required.
• Collaborate with a pharmacy team including Director of Pharmacy, clinical managers, psychiatric pharmacist residents, and informatics pharmacists.

Desired Experience and Qualifications:

• Current Missouri pharmacist license required.
• Ability to train on Oracle/Cerner and Parata ATP2 Packager systems.
• Comfortable working in a pharmacy supporting psychiatric patients with minimal direct patient interaction.
• Professionalism in a business casual or scrubs dress code environment.

This position is suitable for local candidates due to on-site training and ongoing coverage needs. If you possess the required licensure and are ready to contribute to this specialized pharmacy setting, submit your application today to be considered for this rewarding temporary opportunity.
