Job description:
The solid organ transplant pharmacist will assume direct patient care responsibilities throughout the entire continuum of care. Involvement is expected starting from the initial patient selection by a multidisciplinary committee to the ambulatory preoperative transplant clinic visits and counseling through rounding on the inpatient service during the acute transplantation period to followup clinic visits postdischarge to ensure ongoing medication adherence. Optimizing the medication regimen throughout the phases of care is key to promoting allograft preservation. This includes monitoring and adjusting immunosuppressive medications while also managing treatments for comorbid disease states. The transplant pharmacist will also provide extensive medication education to patients and their families throughout transitions of care. In the event of acute and/or chronic allograft injury or rejection the transplant pharmacist will facilitate appropriate treatment selection through use of protocols tailored to the causes of rejection.
