Purpose of the position:
Pivotal to the success of the pharmacy, the role is split between working at Church Street and working with our ACE team. As a member of the Adherence and Community Engagement (ACE) Team, you'll play a pivotal role in revolutionizing healthcare delivery for residents of Edmonton's inner city. In this predominantly clinical position, you'll lead a multidisciplinary team in providing daily care to marginalized individuals facing homelessness and addiction challenges. Your responsibilities will include comprehensive case management for 40-45 patients, collaborating closely with outpatient and community-based healthcare teams to enhance patients' health and social well-being. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to engage in research activities and contribute to provincial strategies and action plans for managing sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) and advancing harm reduction initiatives in Alberta. This full-time role entails weekday shifts, along with short and efficient 5-6 hour rotations on Saturdays and Sundays, as per the schedule.
As a Pharmacist at Church Street, you will provide guidance on the safe, effective, and appropriate use of medications to achieve optimal therapy outcomes. Your role involves delivering pharmaceutical care, leveraging clinical knowledge, skills, and judgment to assess and address patients' drug-related needs. Ensuring compliance with pharmacy practice regulations, Standards of Practice, and organizational Code of Ethics is a key responsibility. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong passion for addictions, mental health, and infectious diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV. Critical thinking skills are essential, and you should thrive in a challenging and dynamic environment. Adaptability, forward-thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities are highly valued traits in this role. Since ACE operates as a teaching team, willingness to supervise and mentor students is essential.
