The Pharmacy Department at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital consists of approximately 65 full-time pharmacists and 65 full-time supportive personnel (pharmacy technicians and clerks). A sizeable part-time staff increases the department’s resources to more than 150 employees. The department consists of a large centralized pharmacy and three decentralized pharmacies that are responsible for providing comprehensive pharmacy services to the approximately 660 beds at our flagship facility, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The department also consists of a well-established Investigational Drug Service that participates in numerous inpatient and outpatient protocols and a Drug Information Center that services practitioners throughout the Jefferson Health System. The department has outpatient pharmacies at several convenient on-campus locations and has responsibility for pharmacy services at the Jefferson Hospital for Neurosciences.
