Pharmacist

DESCRIPTION

All application steps are reused whenever another role requires the same step, so you never have to upload your resume or take the same interview twice Domain Expert – Pharmacy (UpToDate Lexidrug) To qualify you must use UpToDate Lexidrug (or Lexicomp) regularly - weekly or more - as a working part of your job, with 2+ years of professional pharmacy experience. Knows how to work a full medication-list interaction check to completion — not just confirm a single named pair, but judge severity ratings and mechanism of interaction across the whole list Knows how to weigh contraindications, boxed warnings, and warnings/precautions against a specific patient's situation, not just check whether a flag exists Knows how to distinguish "not contraindicated" from "appropriate for this patient" — and where in the monograph that second judgment actually gets made Knows how to reconcile a Special Alert against monograph content when they conflict — recognizes alerts generally take precedence until reconciled Knows how to apply renal/hepatic dose-adjustment logic and calculators correctly given current patient data (labs, weight), not just plug in numbers Specialized depth (strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 of the following) Trissel's IV Compatibility (physical/chemical incompatibility vs. physiological interaction — knows these are distinct problems, not one nested in the other) Beers Criteria / geriatric-specific precautions REMS and prescribing/access restrictions (controlled substance scheduling, restricted distribution programs) Therapeutic class comparison for alternatives (allergy, shortage, formulary substitution) Drug I.D. and patient education / multi-language handouts What you'll do Confirm an interaction, dosing, or contraindication finding holds up against the patient's full medication list and chart — not just the two drugs named in the question Catch missed interactions, stale patient data (outdated labs/weight) driving a wrong dose, and monograph guidance superseded by a newer Special Alert Judge completeness: is the full clinical picture (all active meds, current labs, comorbidities) accounted for, or was the question scoped too narrowly Distinguish "permitted" from "appropriate" — flag when a drug clears interaction/contraindication checks but is still a poor choice for this specific patient Verify that a correct clinical conclusion is actually carried through — order updated, prescriber notified, chart/note documented — not just identified and left there
