About Baltimore Pharmacist Jobs
A pharmacist job can be rewarding personally and professionally; you get to help those who need help, provide comfort, education your patients on how to take care of themselves when they are at home, and be there for them if they have questions.
Now that you have a degree, where do you start looking for a pharmacist position? This article is going to help you determine the best place to start and how you can make the most out of your job search.
Responsibilities
When it comes to pharmacies, a pharmacist normally works along with pharmacy techs to take care of patients who come in with a prescription from their doctor for medicine, or the doctor’s office has phoned in a prescription for you to fill and the patient will come by and pick them up at their convenience. In a pharmacy setting, you get the opportunity to learn more about your patients and their overall health in order to understand their history and know how to fill the prescriptions as they come in. You get more one-on-one with your patients in a pharmacy setting.
Where to Find a Job
In the past, to find a job, you would take a resume or fill out an application at a location where you were interested in working at. A pharmacist can find a job at a pharmacy, a hospital, nursing home, prison, grocery store, or any other area where prescription drugs can be filled for patients.
In order to find the right job for you, think about where you would like to work. You could work at a hospital where you will be responsible for filling prescriptions for outpatient services, doctors, nurses, rehabilitation, and OR. You will be given the prescription and patient information so you can fill the prescriptions accurately, carefully noting any potential dangers of drug interactions. You may never get to meet your patients in person.

- Search online job boards for job opportunities in the Baltimore areas
- Personally, place your resume/application in at a pharmacy, hospital, grocery store pharmacy, or other medical setting where a pharmacist is needed
- You can go through a staffing agency in the Baltimore area to find the pharmacist job you are most interested in.
