  • Maintain accurate counts, reconciliation, and secure storage of controlled substances in compliance with DEA and State Board of Pharmacy requirements.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant medication dispensing area.
  • Collaborate with the Medical Director, Physician, and Clinical Program Director to support coordinated medical care.
  • Participate in required staff training, quality improvement activities, and program meetings.
  • Maintain professional boundaries, confidentiality, and ethical standards at all times.
  • Adapt to clinic schedules, dosing windows, and patient care needs.
  • Perform other nursing duties as assigned to support medical operations.
