How You'll Help Transform Healthcare:

Carilion Clinic is a six-hospital health system located in beautiful Southwest Virginia.

It is also affiliated with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and has numerous post-graduate training programs, including multiple medical and surgical residencies and fellowships.

Clinical Staff I pharmacists are a core group of clinical pharmacists who rotate through various decentralized zones, including 5 adult patient care zones (hospitalist services, trauma, oncology, etc.), 1 pediatric zone, and 1 medication history zone in the main hospital. Additional zones will be added in June 2025 upon the opening of the Crystal Spring Tower, which will be the home to Carilion's Cardiovascular Institute and expanded Emergency Department, allowing us to provide more advanced cardiac care and cardiac surgical options for our patients.
