Overview
Pharmacist | Pediatrics | UF Health Gainesville | Evening 7-on 7-off
Join the UF Health Gainesville pharmacy team as a Clinical Staff Pharmacist supporting patients across the UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital. In this role, you’ll help provide safe, effective, and patient-centered medication therapy for patients within the neonatal, pediatric, and labor and delivery units.
As a 7-on 7-off evening pharmacist, you’ll work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, and other members of the interdisciplinary care team to optimize medication therapy and improve patient outcomes. You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to clinical education, quality improvement initiatives, and research to advance pediatric pharmacy practice. You will have the opportunities to be cross trained in other inpatient pharmacy areas to cover other patient populations.
This position offers the unique advantage of a 7-on 7-off schedule, providing a full week off between rotations while maintaining continuity of care for patients. Team members work evening shifts with a mix of 8-hour weekday shifts and 10-hour weekend shifts. Holiday responsibilities are limited to those occurring during your scheduled work week, and pharmacists maintain their regular schedules during hospital disaster events without additional disaster team assignments.
Shifts: 2:30pm to 11pm on weekdays, and either 9am to 7:30pm or 12:30pm to 11pm on weekends.
