PHARMACY
At the University of Pennsylvania Health System,
we rely on the skills and dedication of our pharmacists
and pharmacy technicians. In turn, we offer
them outstanding professional
development opportunities
to elevate their careers. When you work with
UPHS, you're joining one of the leading research
and teaching institutions in the nation. This
is a progressive health system that will value your
clinical skills and abilities as you practice in collaboration
with our renowned medical teams to provide pharmacotherapeutic
care for patients with a wide variety of disorders.
Working through a decentralized model, clinical pharmacists
within UPHS have abundant opportunities to impact
patient outcomes. Collecting, synthesizing and interpreting
relevant information about a patient's disease
state and drug therapy, you'll define and prioritize
all actual and drug-related problems.
At the University of Pennsylvania Health System, we are dedicated to the future of Pharmacy. As part of our commitment to Pharmacy education, we are now offering Scholarships for 6th year Pharmacy students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. In exchange for a three-year full time employment payback commitment, UPHS will provide a full year of paid tuition to our scholarship winners.
As further proof, we have also instituted a Loan Forgiveness Program for newly-graduated Pharmacists. The Program provides eligible employees with the opportunity to receive assistance from us to repay student loans incurred in connection with the individual's pharmacy studies. Full-time benefit eligible employees will be eligible to receive the following as long as they meet all eligibility criteria:
- $1,000 at the completion of year one of employment
- $2,000 at the completion of year two of employment
- $3,000 at the completion of year three of employment
- $4,000 at the completion of year four of employment

Working
with a multidisciplinary team, you'll establish
a desired outcome for each problem and determine feasible
alternatives and then choose the best pharmacotherapeutic
solution, individualize the therapy regime and
monitor and measure the success of the outcomes. When
you join us, you'll be a member of an elite group who
has the opportunity to teach and train new pharmacists,
residents and students along with in-services for our
nursing and pharmacy staff.
As a pharmacy technician, you'll practice
in collaboration with the medical team to provide
pharmaceutical care for patients and give direct
support to the pharmacists, physicians and nurses in
preparing medications for patients ranging from infancy
to geriatrics. This is a high-tech, fast-paced environment
where you'll play an integral part in providing optimal
pharmacy service(s) to our patients and other health
care professionals.
With the support and leadership these disciplines
receive, your career will develop a dimension of skill
that enables you to practice with increasing autonomy
and growing recognition for your accomplishments. Being
aligned with a strong teaching and learning environment
will also present ample opportunities for you to learn
new things on a daily basis.
Whether you choose to join our remarkable staff
at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania
Hospital, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, or Penn
Home Care & Hospice Services, you will
enjoy the camaraderie and support that you'll experience
at our prestigious institution, as well as a comprehensive
compensation and benefits program that includes
100% pre-paid tuition assistance.
