You’ll proactively monitor for drug interactions, contraindications, and adverse reactions to keep our participants safe and thriving.
- Collaborate as a trusted partner on our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), actively participating in daily meetings to discuss care plans and optimize medication therapy.

- Maintain excellence in documentation and compliance by keeping accurate records in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and ensuring all practices align with CMS, DHCS, and PACE regulatory standards. You’ll oversee formulary management, including preferred drug lists and prior authorizations, conduct audits, and support pharmacy-related quality initiatives.

You’ll track medication utilization, support cost-management efforts, and stay current with evolving pharmacy practices, trends, and regulations to keep our program at the forefront.
- Contribute beyond the expected, taking on additional duties and special projects that align with your passion and support our mission to help older adults live fully in the homes and communities they love.
