Specialty Pharmacy Intern

Putting People First in Pharmacy- Navitus was founded as an alternative to traditional pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) models. We are committed to removing cost from the drug supply chain to make medications more affordable for the people who need them. At Navitus, our team members work in an environment that celebrates diversity, fosters creativity and encourages growth. We welcome new ideas and share a passion for excellent service to our customers and each other.
The Managed Care Pharmacy Internship is any student currently enrolled in a pharmacy school. This year-round part-time internship will provide experience in a managed care setting and careers opportunities as a pharmacist. The internship focuses on improving the student’s clinical knowledge, drug literature analysis, clinical writing, data analysis, and value assessment. The internship assists to develop additional skills including effective communication, proficient project management, and delivering presentations within a managed care environment. The diverse variety of experiences at Lumicera will position the intern to pursue further practice in various managed care areas and managed care residencies. Interns will be involved in clinical projects with pharmacists in a wide range of departments, including Specialty Pharmacy, formulary operations, clinical programs, industry relations, drug information, and more.
