Admixture Technician

Overview

Responsibilities

• Here's what might happen on a typical day… This role is unique because it requires the special skillset of being able to mix sterile IV infusions according to all applicable safety and quality standards.
• Your mixing skills combined with your patient focused mindset make you an important member of the outpatient infusion team.
• While guidance of our chemotherapy nurses as well as our Pharmacists is always available, you will work fairly independently.
• Being proactive in keeping up with all applicable quality and medication standards will allow you to be a successful Admixture Technician.
• You know when to ask questions, and we highly encourage you to do so.
• Your meticulous attention to detail is vital to our patients.
• Experiences that matter… You have a pharmacy knowledge that allows you to quickly learn compounding and mixing to accurately admix drugs in a timely manner as ordered by a physician.
• When checking orders and calculating correct dosage volumes, your attention to detail will be a major asset.
• You will use your organization skills to properly log and date inventory, maintain proper control documents, and ensure drug supplies are in adequate supply.
• Experience with navigating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and knowledge of USP 800 standards will allow you to quickly adapt to the workflow of this position.
• Your go-getter work ethic will have you ready to jump in and help out with any additional tasks.

Qualifications

For your safety, keep this in mind

• This position will require standing and walking for extended periods of time. Any lifting should be limited to 40 pounds or less. You will need manual dexterity, proper hand-eye coordination, full range of motion to possibly assist with lifting patients, and corrected vision and hearing to normal range.
• We feel this position requires these basics: A high school diploma or equivalent is required along with a Certified Pharmacy Technician certification and/or State Pharmacy Board licensure. (Tack on an IV certification for bonus points!) You will have at least one year of Pharmacy Technician experience. IV mixing is a plus but can be taught to a candidate with your initiative.
