Abstract
The changing landscape of health care mirrors that of health-system pharmacy, with pharmacists' scope of practice and provider status being the most significant changes. This creates new roles and opportunities; many of these roles are considered to be nontraditional in today's practice. This article reviews some new roles for pharmacy leaders that provide different career options and pathways. Nontraditional career opportunities discussed include expanded consulting roles in pricing analytics and drug pricing programs (contracting, 340B programs), pharmacogenomics patient consult services and clinics, specialty drug pharmacies, and compounding pharmacy services. To continue to develop high-performing pharmacy departments, pharmacy directors should recognize these roles and ensure they are clearly defined and managed. With the advent of these nontraditional opportunities, pharmacy departments can further expand their ability to provide advanced patient-centered pharmacy services.
