CoxHealth Pharmacy Internship Program
Overview
The CoxHealth Pharmacy Internship Program provides pharmacy students with structured operational and clinical training that build longitudinally as the intern progresses throughout their years in pharmacy school. Experiences are intended to offer comprehensive exposure to hospital and health system pharmacy practice and are created to supplement formal didactic training.
At the internship program's commencement, the intern learns basic centralized and decentralized pharmacy functions. Once proficient, obtainment and documentation of medication histories are covered. During the intern’s third year, and after successful completion of all required competencies, the intern is prepared to independently provide patient disease state and medication education. Autonomy is encouraged and expected as the intern advances.

Open positions are annually in May/June. Applicants who will start their first year of pharmacy school in the fall are encouraged to apply.
Job Requirements
Requirements include:
- Must be entering into, or already enrolled in, an ACPE accredited school/college of pharmacy.
