Serving the needs of Garfield Heights and the Southeast communities of Cuyahoga County, Marymount Hospital is an acute care, faith-based hospital.

Responsibilities include supporting carousel operations, triaging phone calls and nursing requests, prepacking medications, returning stock, inventory management and cycle counts, and participating in bedside and outpatient medication delivery programs.

• Recommend formulary alternatives when appropriate.
• Compound and prepare medications for delivery to patient care areas.

• Communicate with physicians and other clinicians as necessary to facilitate care.

• Enrollment in an accredited College of Pharmacy Program meeting education requirements to qualify for an Intern License in the State of Ohio OR international pharmacy experience meeting the requirements to qualify for the Foreign Graduate Pharmacy Intern License
