Carilion Clinic is a six-hospital health system located in beautiful Southwest Virginia. 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.

Clinical Staff I pharmacists are a core group of clinical pharmacists who rotate through various decentralized zones, including 5 adult patient care zones (hospitalist services, trauma, oncology, etc.), 1 pediatric zone, and 1 medication history zone in the main hospital. Additional zones will be added in June 2025 upon the opening of the Crystal Spring Tower, which will be the home to Carilion’s Cardiovascular Institute and expanded Emergency Department, allowing us to provide more advanced cardiac care and cardiac surgical options for our patients. Zone assignments are determined based on clinical need, as well as pharmacist interests. Pharmacists will optimize patients’ medication regimens throughout the continuum of care, and will be responsible for addressing a variety of pharmacokinetic medication needs with autonomy through use of multiple P&T approved pharmacy protocols. Long-term opportunities may include the ability to train in other services lines (ICU, ID, IM, pediatrics, among others) to provide cross coverage. Clinical Staff I pharmacists would be responsible for working every third weekend, as well as 1 major and 1 minor holiday annually.

CRMH also has a pharmacy residency program comprised of 13 residents, including seven PGY1s, and six PGY2s in Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Infectious Diseases, Emergency Medicine, and Health System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership. Clinical Staff I pharmacists can assist with precepting residents within several of the decentralized zones, as well as participate in other resident learning experiences. Various other clinical experiences such as committee participation, process improvement, and research are available.
