The College of Pharmacy seeks two skilled teacher-clinicians for a shared Pharmacy Practice Lab/Acute Care Faculty position. These are full-time, twelve-month appointments. The faculty member will be appointed on the clinical track at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. This is a shared position between the College of Pharmacy and UI Health Care Medical Center Downtown (MCD). The position effort will be 50% clinical practice, 40% teaching, 5% scholarly activity and 5% professional service. The clinical activity at MCD will include inpatient rounding, primarily with the Family Medicine service and may also involve other acute care inpatient services. Clinical services will be provided weekdays (Monday through Friday) during daytime work shifts and this position will not be part of the holiday work rotation. This position will be paired with a practice partner faculty member who has the same 50% (UIHC) and 50% (COP) allocation.

The Pharmacy Practice Lab provides state of the art facilities and instruction where students can learn and practice their skills. Practice Lab courses include Foundations of Pharmacy Practice I and II, and Applications of Pharmacy Practice I-IV. The faculty member will coordinate, and team teach practice lab courses along with providing additional instruction in other didactic courses in the PharmD curriculum. Co-precepting of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) students completing an academic elective and acute care medicine rotation will also be expected.

Course coordination will require continuous interaction in the planning and delivery of course material. The faculty members will work with fellow faculty, practitioner faculty, teaching assistants, and residents assigned to provide instruction in these courses. Teaching duties will include small group active learning, laboratory and hands-on skills instruction, and didactic teaching. There are two other Pharmacy Practice Lab faculty members to collaborate with and one instructional support specialist.

The clinical practice responsibilities involve providing pharmaceutical care services to acute care (family medicine, internal medicine, intensive care, infectious disease) patients in a hospital setting. Specific areas of focus will include medication management of Family Medicine inpatients, providing clinical support, education, coordination of medication therapies, and monitoring related to medication therapy. The position serves as a preceptor, educator, and role-model practitioner for Doctor of Pharmacy students and pharmacy residents assigned to MCD and carries out pharmacy practice responsibilities for the Department of Pharmaceutical Care.

Interested candidates should have a practice background in acute care pharmacy practice.
