PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) helps older adults stay safely in their homes and communities. Medication management is central to that work.

In this role you’ll be the on-site pharmacy expert and a core member of the center’s care team. You’ll have the time and the relationships to make a real difference in participants’ therapy. If you enjoy clinical work, geriatrics and team-based care, and want a predictable part-time schedule, we’d like to hear from you.

• Perform comprehensive medication reviews and reconciliations for PACE participants, including at enrollment, at care transitions and after hospital stays
• Join care planning meetings and reassessments with the interdisciplinary team (IDT)
• Work with physicians, nurse practitioners and nursing staff to resolve medication issues and support evidence-based prescribing
• Identify polypharmacy, high-risk medications and chances to deprescribe
• Act as the liaison between the center and our pharmacy, resolving refill, delivery and MAR issues in real time
• Oversee on-site medication storage, inventory and emergency supplies
• Teach center staff, participants and caregivers about medications, adherence and ordering processes
• Support formulary management, quality improvement and compliance with CMS PACE and Michigan Board of Pharmacy rules

What you bring

• PharmD from an ACPE-accredited program
• Active, unrestricted Michigan pharmacist license, or eligibility to get one before you start
• Knowledge of CMS PACE and long-term care pharmacy regulations
• Strong communication skills, problem-solving ability and attention to detail
• The confidence to work independently on site while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team

Nice to have

• Long-term care, PACE or geriatric pharmacy experience
• Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP)
• Experience with Framework or MediProcity

Why join us

• Meaningful clinical work with a population that benefits greatly from pharmacist involvement
• A consistent part-time schedule of one day per week
• Competitive pay of $61–$67 per hour
• Backing from an experienced long-term care pharmacy team
