Preferred
• Experience working in a hospital, community pharmacy, pharmacy stores, purchasing, inventory, or medication supply environment.
• Previous experience maintaining a pharmacy drug file, formulary, item master, stock catalogue, wholesaler catalogue, or related reference data.
• Exposure to MEDITECH Expanse, another EHR, a pharmacy information system, an ERP, or a materials management system.
