Job Description & Requirements
Pharmacist - Acute - (Pharma / Pharm)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 10 D Pay Rate: $2981.00 - $3072.00

This outpatient pediatric pharmacist position is based in Kansas City, Missouri, a dynamic city that brings together big-city amenities with the warmth of the Midwest. Kansas City is known for its rich arts and music scene, world-class barbeque, professional sports teams, and an impressive network of parks, fountains, and family-friendly attractions. Families enjoy destinations such as interactive museums, a vibrant zoo, and engaging science and children’s activities spread across the metro, making it an appealing place to both work and live. Kansas City offers a balanced lifestyle with a reasonable cost of living, welcoming neighborhoods, and easy commutes compared to many larger metropolitan areas. The city’s diverse communities, strong school options, and growing healthcare sector make it a particularly attractive home for healthcare professionals who want both professional fulfillment and a high quality of life. With a central location in the U.S. and a well-connected airport, Kansas City also makes regional and national travel convenient. This position is situated in a modern outpatient setting focused on pediatric patients, serving infants, children, and adolescents in a clinic-based environment. As an outpatient pediatric pharmacist, you will support a high-functioning multidisciplinary team that may include pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, nurses, case managers, and other allied health professionals. The facility emphasizes patient-centered care, medication safety, and a collaborative approach, giving pharmacists a meaningful role in direct patient management and family education. Typical responsibilities include verifying and dispensing pediatric prescriptions, providing precise weight-based dosing, checking for drug interactions and duplications, and ensuring safe medication use across a variety of pediatric disease states. You will provide counseling to parents and caregivers on proper medication administration, storage, adherence strategies, and recognizing side effects. Depending on the clinic and policies, you may participate in pediatric immunization workflows, complex medication regimen management for chronic conditions, and coordination of refills for ongoing therapies. The workday often includes active participation in daily clinic operations, responding to medication-related questions from providers and nursing staff, and providing real-time recommendations on pediatric pharmacotherapy. You may work with conditions such as asthma, ADHD, infectious diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, and other acute and chronic pediatric illnesses. In some clinics, there may be opportunities to support specialty pediatric populations, such as patients with complex care needs, oncology, cardiology, or neurology, depending on the practice mix. Pharmacists in this role can expect a structured schedule aligned with outpatient clinic hours, with daytime shifts and potential limited evening or weekend coverage, based on patient needs and clinic operations. The outpatient environment emphasizes continuity of care, allowing pharmacists to develop relationships with families and see the impact of their work over time. Patient volumes are designed to be manageable, allowing for thorough clinical verification and counseling, while still supporting a steady and engaging pace throughout the day. This setting promotes a supportive and team-oriented culture, where pharmacists are encouraged to engage in quality improvement activities, participate in medication safety initiatives, and contribute to optimizing pediatric medication protocols. There may be opportunities to participate in educational sessions for staff, students, or residents, and to help refine workflows that improve access to care and medication adherence for pediatric patients. Professionally, this position offers a strong platform for pharmacists interested in pediatric outpatient care, ambulatory practice, and long-term patient relationships. Working in a thriving healthcare community in Kansas City, you will gain experience that strengthens clinical expertise, interprofessional collaboration skills, and the ability to manage complex pediatric medication regimens in a real-world outpatient setting.
