Supervisory Pharmacist

What you would do

• Direct pharmacy program operations
• Develop and implement pharmacy policies and procedures
• Ensure regulatory compliance and accreditation
• Manage pharmacy financial and budget responsibilities
• Plan, coordinate, and evaluate department activities
• Provide direct pharmaceutical care to patients

Do you qualify for GS-13?

With experience: You need at least one year of professional pharmacy experience at the GS-12 level or higher. The experience should include overseeing pharmacy clinical services, preparing a department budget, assigning and evaluating staff work, and providing direct pharmaceutical services.

With education: A doctoral degree in Pharmacy from a program recognized by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) or another recognized accrediting body.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Passed the NAPLEX (pharmacist licensing exam) and the MPJE (Multi-state Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam)
• License to practice pharmacy in a U.S. state, D.C., Puerto Rico, or a U.S. territory
• Obtain and maintain medical staff clinical privileges

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume showing dates, duties, and hours per week for each job
• Transcripts (official or unofficial) listing courses, credit hours, and grades, encouraged
• Licenses and certifications with expiration dates
• Form BIA-4432 signed and dated if claiming Indian preference
• CTAP/ICTAP documentation if claiming those priorities
• Official transcripts required after tentative selection

How you will be rated: Applicants are first checked for minimum qualifications, then a panel of subject matter experts reviews the first two pages of your resume for specialized experience on a pass/fail basis. Exaggerating experience or making false statements may disqualify you.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume's first two pages are the only pages reviewed, so show specialized GS-12 level experience there.
• Show dates, duties, and hours per week for each job, since volunteer and part-time work also counts.
• If you claim Indian preference, include a signed and dated Form BIA-4432 with your application or it will not be given.
