The Future is so bright I gotta wear shades.

Hello All,

I have attached to a link to this post to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics website. The link will take you directly to the Bureaus assessment of pharmacy and the outlook for the pharmacy job market in the future. It seems that growth will continue at a 22% clip to 2016 faster than the average rate of growth.

It is a very interesting time to be a pharmacist given the possible upcoming changes to the pharm D curriculum and the increasing role pharmacists are playing in patient care in all settings. These increased responsibilities seem to indicate that the role of the pharmacist is growing larger and more complex and with these additional responsibilities and the expanded need for pharmacists outside of the health care system salaries for pharmacists should continue to increase.

We at infinity search group are leading the way for pharmacists in the job market. We are uniquely positioned to understand the need for pharmacists in all areas and are in constant contact with all major pharmacy employers who need and value our services.

Just the Facts

IMPACT OF THE U.S. PHARMACIST SHORTAGE

FACT SHEET


A study of compounding IV admixtures, conducted across five hospitals, found 9 out of every 100 IV doses mixed in the hospital pharmacy contained at least one error, posing a substantial risk to patients.

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists estimates a moderate to severe shortage of staff at 90 percent of its hospital pharmacies.

There is a strong correlation between pharmacist shortages and patient safety. Shortages in pharmacy staff may increase error hazards because of understaffed work shifts and individual workers' work durations and volumes.

Reasons for errors include pharmacy workplace noise levels, number of interruptions, the differences in the amount of staffing available, and the extreme workload placed on individual staff members.

Pharmacists have a major role in identifying improvements in the drug use and distribution process and other steps that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of medication errors. Carrying out this responsibility is particularly challenging during a time of pharmacist shortage.

Key factors contributing to the shortage of pharmacists include: increased use of prescription medicines, the expansion of pharmacy practice and pharmacists' roles, and the changing pharmacists workforce.

The decline in pharmacy graduates has been accompanied by a corresponding decline in numbers of applications to pharmacy schools.

Ummmmmmmm, the dog ate my resume.

Hello All,

As in the past, I have placed my companies lists on this blog to show how we prepare our top notch pharmacy candidates for a job interview. Today I have a list of ten of the biggest interview mistakes. If you would like to lose a job offer there is no quicker way than to do just one of the ten things on this list. I hope you everyone enjoys the reading. I have attached a link to this post, just click on the title and read. This list was not one created by Infinity Search Group but one that I believe has some really good advice and is similar to a lot of pre-interview prep lists out there.
