Pharmacist
As a pharmacist at the National Cancer Institute, I am responsible for the preparation and verification of oncology medications in a high-volume clinical setting. I manage critical inventory and ensure adherence to strict safety standards to support both inpatient and outpatient care. My daily work involves rigorous protocols and requires expertise in aseptic compounding and logistics. • Prepare over 50 high-potency oncology protocols daily in an advanced compounding facility. • Verify more than 150 sterile medication labels per shift to maintain patient safety. • Manage and track high-value cytotoxic inventory in a fast-paced environment. • Coordinate logistics for over 1,000 daily patient visits while upholding chain-of-custody procedures.
