Chronic Medication Management / Ambulatory Care Pharmacist
Ambulatory care pharmacists tend to work mostly with patients with long-term conditions and chronic illnesses to improve these patient’s health outcomes. Depending on where they practice, ambulatory care pharmacists may be able to go beyond a traditional pharmacist’s role to adjust or discontinue medications and order lab work. UF’s Clinical Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine program prepares students for the ongoing observation required for ambulatory care pharmacy. Students will also gain a deeper background on common disorders, chronic illnesses and other conditions that benefit from monitoring by an ambulatory care physician.
Clinical Pharmacist
Many students wishing to pivot from community or retail pharmacy choose to enroll in UF’s Clinical Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine program to prepare them to work in a clinical setting. A large part of a clinical pharmacist’s job is medication therapy. Clinical pharmacists work as part of a team with physicians and nurses, assessing the appropriateness of a patient’s medication, evaluating their effectiveness at meeting the patient’s health goals and educating the patient on their prescriptions.
Clinical Pharmacogenomics Specialist
Pharmacogenetics plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes by guiding safer and more effective medication choices. As a healthcare provider, you can advocate for your patients by reducing the trial-and-error approach in prescribing and promoting personalized treatment plans. With pharmacogenetics testing becoming more common, it’s vital to be prepared to interpret results and guide both patients and fellow healthcare professionals. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) can help refine by identifying treatments most likely to be effective based on a patient’s unique genetic profile.
Long-Term Care (LTC) Pharmacy
Long-term care pharmacists provide in-depth care to residents of long-term care facilities. UF’s Clinical Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine program prepares students for the challenges associated with LTC pharmacy, including the integrated nature of care, medication safety and strategies for complex patient needs.
Entrepreneurship
Pharmacists’ direct patient interaction makes them uniquely suited to entrepreneurship. Conversations with patients enable them to identify gaps in services or conditions for which patients are seeking extra guidance. From working as an individual disease-focused MTM consultant to starting an MTM vendor company, there are numerous untapped business opportunities for pharmacists. To help students maximize their potential, the Clinical Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine online graduate program teaches the skills they will need to successfully manage a business, from creating a business plan to billing and reimbursement.
MTM Vendors
Health care plans are increasingly turning to MTM vendor companies as they strive to improve outcomes while reducing costs. MTM vendors offer a number of services, from medication reviews to pharmacogenomics. This makes these services accessible to a greater number of patients. The breadth of knowledge that the Clinical Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine online graduate program equips graduates with enables them to take on a wide range of roles at MTM vendor companies, including working in administration, new program creation, patient counseling and research.
