The University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is nationally recognized for its leadership in pharmacy education and strong commitment to developing and sustaining a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. The Department of Clinical Pharmacy (DOCP) provides unprecedented opportunities for individuals with a strong commitment to an academic career encompassing innovative educational, service, and scholarly activities. The school is seeking applicants for a full-time, 12-month, non-tenure-eligible, clinical teaching track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor with training and experience in the areas of Ambulatory Care and Population Health, with a specific area of focus in Primary Care.

This faculty member will practice as a member of multidisciplinary teams at two University of Colorado Health (UCHealth) Internal Medicine clinics: the Women’s Integrated Services in Health (WISH) clinic (40% time) and the Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC) Internal Medicine clinic (50% time). Both clinics are located in the Anschutz Outpatient Pavilion on the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO. The remaining 10% of faculty member’s time will be overseeing the Medication Therapy Management service (aka, RxReview) that is offered to Medicaid recipients that have been identified to potentially benefit from medication therapy management services.

This position will provide clinical pharmacy services as a member of the interdisciplinary primary care teams. Primary clinical responsibilities include developing and providing direct patient care clinical pharmacy services that focus on chronic disease management using collaborative drug therapy management protocols. Successful candidates will also interface with clinic providers to provide comprehensive medication management and other population health initiatives for patients. Clinical services and provider support will be delivered in-person for approximately 60% of the time (all of services to WISH plus one day per week for Anschutz IM), with the remaining 40% of time in the form of telehealth/remote interactions with patients and providers. In addition to clinical practice, successful candidates will be expected to provide experiential teaching for students in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum and PGY2 ambulatory care residents, and precept students at the DAWN clinic (student-run free clinic) once every six weeks. Opportunities for engaging in scholarship in support of their clinical and teaching efforts are available.
