Role Overview
Our client is hiring a full-time, W-2 Clinical Pharmacist with deep cardiology experience to support its value-based care programs. The heart of this role is guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT): getting high-risk cardiac patients onto the right therapies, at the right doses, and keeping them there. You will work alongside RN Care Managers, Nurse Navigators and cardiology providers to close therapy gaps, support titration and improve adherence.
This is not a dispensing role. You will be a clinical partner embedded in the care team, and your recommendations will directly shape patient outcomes and quality performance.
Key Responsibilities
GDMT Optimization & Medication Management
Review medication profiles for cardiology populations, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and hypertension, and overlapping conditions such as CKD.
Lead GDMT assessment against ACC/AHA guidelines and payer quality programs. For HFrEF, that means evaluating and optimizing the four foundational therapy classes: ARNI/ACEi/ARB, evidence-based beta-blockers, MRAs and SGLT2 inhibitors.
Identify therapy gaps, missed titration opportunities, contraindications, drug interactions and adherence barriers.
Make evidence-based recommendations for initiation, dose optimization and titration, in collaboration with providers and nursing staff.
Apply sound clinical judgment within established clinical protocols.
Patient Engagement
Conduct telephonic medication reviews and patient education.
Explain the purpose, benefits, side effects and expectations of cardiac medications in clear, patient-friendly language.
Reinforce adherence and lifestyle considerations, and help patients recognize red-flag symptoms.
Care Team Collaboration
Partner with RN Care Managers and Nurse Navigators to align medication plans with care goals.
Communicate recommendations clearly and confidently to cardiologists and advanced practice providers.
Participate in interdisciplinary case reviews and care planning.
Document recommendations and patient interactions promptly in the care management platform / EMR.
Quality & Value-Based Care
Contribute to performance on medication-related quality measures.
Help reduce medication-related adverse events and avoidable utilization.
Who Will Succeed
A clinically confident cardiology pharmacist who makes GDMT decisions with ease, works well by phone, explains complex therapy in plain language, and does well in a nurse-led, interdisciplinary care model.
Strong cardiology background with hands-on GDMT decision-making and titration experience.
Confident, professional communicator with cardiologists and APPs.
Patient-centered style: clear, empathetic and clinically accurate.
Comfortable in a fully remote, telephonic, non-dispensing clinical role.
