As one of the largest health care systems in the Nation, VA offers more types of leadership opportunities for pharmacists across the spectrum of practice settings than any other organization.

Pharmacy leaders are needed for inpatient, outpatient, and clinical pharmacy programs in every state of the Nation and Puerto Rico. Opportunities exist at every level of practice, from local facility leadership to regional and national leadership positions:

• Local Clinical Coordinators
• Local Residency Program Directors
• Local Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs of Pharmacy Services
• Local Directors of Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) programs
• Regional Pharmacy Leaders at the Veterans Integrated Services Network (VISN) level
• Regional and National Pharmacy Benefits Managers
• National Pharmacy Benefit Management Central Office Consultants

VA offers its leaders ongoing internal training opportunities, such as Leadership VA (LVA), the Executive Career Field Development Programs, and High Performance Development Model training. VA also funds external education opportunities through the Employee Incentive Scholarship Program (EISP), as well as opportunities to reduce your existing student debt with our Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP). Opportunities for personal growth and professional development exist throughout the VA health care system and continually change to meet the demands of the profession.
