Frequently asked questions
Knoxville offers a growing demand for pharmacists, especially in long-term care and hospice sectors like at Adoration Home Health & Hospice. Compared to larger metros, competition may be less intense, providing more opportunities for clinical pharmacists seeking specialized roles in community-focused healthcare settings.
Besides the mandatory Tennessee state pharmacist license, familiarity with CMS and FDA regulations is highly valued. Certifications in geriatric pharmacy or long-term care pharmacy can enhance a candidate’s profile, reflecting the local emphasis on senior living and post-acute care pharmacy services.
Pharmacists in this setting must meticulously review medication orders, monitor lab results for high-risk drugs, and coordinate closely with healthcare teams to optimize therapy. The focus is on clinical interventions tailored for senior patients, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance in a non-retail environment.
Progression may include roles such as pharmacy manager or clinical specialist, with opportunities to lead teams or oversee medication management programs. Being part of a large network like Pharmerica offers advancement in clinical expertise and leadership within long-term care pharmacy services.
The company fosters a supportive culture that encourages pharmacists to exercise clinical judgment autonomously while maintaining strong collaboration with physicians and nursing staff. This balance ensures pharmacists can provide expert medication recommendations while being integrated in multidisciplinary care.
Pharmerica’s specialist pharmacists focus on outpatient long-term care and senior living communities, emphasizing medication safety and therapy optimization outside acute hospital settings. Hospital pharmacists often concentrate on immediate inpatient care, whereas Pharmerica’s role involves ongoing monitoring and chronic care management.
Pharmacists in Knoxville generally earn between $115,000 and $135,000 annually, depending on experience and certifications. Long-term care roles, such as those at Pharmerica, often include additional benefits like shift differentials and bonuses that enhance total compensation.
Beyond standard medical and dental coverage, the company provides perks like pet insurance, daily pay options, and tuition reimbursement, which are less common locally. Such benefits reflect a strong commitment to employee wellness and career growth within the pharmacy team.
Pharmacists manage comprehensive medication reviews, maintain detailed patient profiles, and liaise with multidisciplinary teams. Unlike retail roles, the environment is focused on clinical services for senior care, requiring precise documentation and adherence to stringent regulatory standards.
The position leverages electronic medical records and pharmacy information systems to streamline medication management. Pharmacists are expected to stay adept with tech advancements to enhance safety protocols and improve medication therapy outcomes in long-term care environments.
