Get to know a little about us:
At Mint Health+Drugs, we’re more than just a pharmacy. Our pharmacies are owned by pharmacists and that truth is at the very core of who we are. Mint Health+Drugs offers a deeper level of care, brought to you by independent pharmacy owners that are a part of the local community.
We believe that pharmacists, not corporations, shape the future of patient care. We're taking back our profession, one pharmacy at a time, with a team of pharmacists who are leaders and clinicians in each of their respective communities.
Since we opened our first location in 2010, our family of pharmacies has grown rapidly into communities across the province. Our dedicated team of owners, pharmacists and support staff are passionate about providing patient care that improves personal health and strengthens the broader community.
What makes us a fantastic place to work:
Simply put, our mission is to Help People Feel Better. The core values of Mint Health+Drugs are rooted in the drive to make our communities healthier places. The very letters that make up Mint represent these guiding principles:
Motivate - To strive to be the best versions of ourselves, not because we have to, but because we desire to.
Innovate - There's always a right way to do something. Learn it first, then make it better.
Nurture - Take care of those around you, whether they are your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers or even a stranger.
Teach - Improving ourselves and those around us through lifelong teaching, sharing, and learning.
These principles make up the foundation of everything we do whether it's creating specialized tablets, providing community outreach, establishing new mom seminars, or offering travel consulting.
We pride ourselves not in the recognition we receive, but in the good quality of work we do for patient care. Helping people get ahead with their health is what we strive for. We are fortunate to have been recognized along the way:

Background:
Mint Health+Drugs is looking to hire a Calgary based pharmacist for a full-time hybrid position. The position consists of 40% an on-site community dispensary practice at the Mint Health+Drugs Blue Bottle location, and 60% a work-from-home remote clinical pharmacist services for all Mint locations in Alberta.
A hybrid pharmacist position offers a unique opportunity to blend the best of both worlds - the flexibility of remote work and the personal touch of in-person patient care. With a hybrid role, you can work from the comfort of your home using telehealth technologies to provide medication therapy management and counseling to patients. However, you also maintain the benefits of working in a traditional community pharmacy setting and engaging with patients face-to-face. With flexible remote clinical hours that can adapt to your schedule, we are offering you greater work-life balance, increased job satisfaction, and opportunities for professional growth and development.
The role:
Onsite: Mint Health+Drugs Blue Bottle (16-21hrs per week; Mondays and Fridays with occasional weekends). Blue Bottle was established in 1966 as an independent, locally run pharmacy that serves Calgary’s Tuxedo Park neighbourhood and numerous housing/shelter facilities. We’re very much a community pharmacy, with services like our specialized compounding—done entirely in-house—capable of making a huge impact in the lives of our patients. By providing personalized health care to each patient, we’re able to serve as an effective community health care hub.
The hybrid pharmacist position would require on-site dispensary support Monday and Friday each week. Additionally, one weekend per month as per the scheduled rotation. Weekend shifts are short, 3-4 hrs, and offer the flexibility to complete most tasks remotely, only requiring the pharmacist to be onsite to fill urgent orders.
Responsibilities:
Ensure the dispensary operates smoothly and efficiently.
Triage prescription orders and ensure their fulfilment according to established protocols.
Provide pharmaceutical care, including patient assessment, medication therapy management, and drug utilization review.
Mentor and provide guidance to other pharmacy staff, including Pharmacy Technicians and/or Pharmacy Assistants, Pharmacy Students, or Interns.
Uphold all legislation pertaining to pharmacy practice and ensure that the Standards of Practice and the organization's Code of Ethics are followed.
Work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient care.
Maintain accurate and complete patient records.
Remote: Mint Remote Clinical Pharmacist (19-24hrs per week, flexible hours, and workdays). As a remote clinical pharmacist, you will work outside of a traditional clinical setting and provide pharmaceutical care to patients from a remote location. You will be responsible for medication reviews and therapy management, patient education, clinical support, quality assurance, documentation, and telehealth services.
Responsibilities:
Conduct medication review, perform medication reconciliations, and collaborate with healthcare providers to develop and implement medication therapy management plans for patients.
Provide patient education on medication use, potential side effects, and medication adherence.
Provide clinical support to other healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses, by answering drug information questions and providing clinical decision support.
Monitor and evaluate medication therapy to ensure patient safety and medication effectiveness.
Maintain accurate and complete patient records and documentation of medication therapy management interventions.
Communicate with patients and healthcare providers through telehealth platforms, such as video conferencing and messaging, to provide pharmaceutical care services.
