Pharmacist

Introduction:

We are a Tribal 638 site providing healthcare to the San Carlos Apache people. Our hospital is young and thriving. We offer an abundance of opportunities for professional growth, personal development and involvement in rewarding work. Our pharmacy operation is robust with a strong team. We fill an average of ~1000 scripts a day with the help of the team and technology, including a robot and counting devices. So far, we have a vaccine clinic, a warfarin clinic, and are adding new clinics. We are involved with patient outreach within the community by participating in events. In addition, we assist clinical teams throughout the hospital and beyond, including local schools and the Department of Health and Human Services. Our pharmacy staff give back to the profession through preceptorship of pharmacy interns, pharmacy technicians, and local high school students interested in Pharmacy or healthcare. Our pharmacists are fortunate to be able to provide healthcare to an underserved native population, work within a collaborative team of healthcare professionals, and have excellent benefits, including healthcare, subsidized housing, and multiple student loan repayment programs. At this time, some student loan repayment options offered include SCAHC Funding (up to $10,000 per year), IHS Service Loan Repayment ($20,000/year for 2 years), HRSA Loan Repayment ($100,000 for 3 years), and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (forgiveness after 10 years).
