Carilion's flagship hospital, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, is a 763-bed academic medical center, level I trauma center, tertiary/quaternary referral center, and Certified Primary Stroke center that has consistently been ranked by US News as a Best Hospital in the state of Virginia. It is also affiliated with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and has numerous post-graduate training programs, including multiple medical and surgical residencies and fellowships.
 
Our pharmacy-led medication history program contributes to an important goal for Carilion: the completion of a Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) for every admitted patient. This is a critical part of patient care, so that our providers may begin clinical decision-making with the most accurate medication list upon patient admission. In this role, you will work along-side your medication history technician colleagues and also have peripheral oversight from a medication history pharmacist. Skills required include a positive-attitude, the ability to converse well with patients, a keen attention to detail, baseline knowledge of medications, an inquisitive mind, and drive to succeed. We are hoping to expand our program to positively impact more patients and are looking for dedicated technicians who are seeking a career in medication history.

What We Require:

Education: A high school diploma or equivalent is required; Associate’s Degree is preferred. Successful completion of an approved Pharmacy Technician training course is preferred.

Experience: Two years or more of pharmacy work experience with 1 to 2 years of medication history experience is preferred.

Licensure, certification, and/or registration: Registration with the Virginia Department of Health Professionals required. Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician is required within 9 months of hire
