Purpose

Remote Clinical Pharmacists play a critical role in optimizing medication therapy, providing clinical support, and ensuring seamless coordination of care for patients with rare and orphan diseases at Vanscoy Rare Pharmacy. This role requires a patient-centric approach, strong clinical expertise, and a passion for improving access to specialized treatments. This Orlando-based role is fully remote, though a few weeks of travel to Pittsburgh, PA for training will be required, and the opportunity for on-site work will become available following the completion of our facility in early 2027.

Reporting Responsibilities

• In the future, Orlando clinical pharmacists may be able to support on-site dispensing operations following the completion of VRP’s Orlando-based facility. This may also involve managing Pharmacy Technicians.
• Additional projects and activities as assigned.

Work Environment

This position will largely be a fully remote work structure. There will periodically be the need to be onsite for meetings, client visits, or team collaboration activities, but this will be the exception, not the norm. Despite this, employees must be within commuting distance to Orlando, FL (near the airport), and able to report to the office when needed. We will provide advance notice when possible. This role routinely involves standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, filing cabinets and fax machines. When telecommuting, employees must have reliable internet access to utilize required systems and software required for the position’s responsibilities. The amount of time the employee is expected to work per day or pay period will not change while working from home. Employees are responsible for the set-up of their home office environment, including physical set-up, internet connection, phone line, electricity, lighting, comfortable temperature, furniture, etc. Employee’s teleworking space should be separate and distinct from their “home space” and allow for privacy.

Physical Demands

While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to talk or hear. The employee frequently is required to stand; walk; use hands and fingers, handle or feel; and reach with hands and arms.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential function of the job.
