Mid Atlantic US States Pharmacist Jobs Are Available Now

Numerous pharmacist jobs and positions in the Mid- Atlantic states currently are available and the numbers of open job and opportunities (both full-time and part-time) have been steadily on the rise so far in 2022. The Middle Atlantic states, or commonly shortened to the Mid-Atlantic states, is the region of the United States located along the East Coast between the Northeastern and Southeastern States. This region typically includes New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the District of Columbia (Washington DC). It’s important to note that some folks also include Connecticut in the Mid-Atlantic region, as the climate resembles that of the other Mid-Atlantic states more than it does the rest of the states in New England.

The majority of medical experts view the shortage of pharmacists as the most critical and immediate concern that our nation's Healthcare System faces currently. Being the health care worker most accessible to the general public, the pharmacist usually acts as the first "touchpoint" for a patient trying to engage with the US healthcare system. In fact, over ninety percent of all Americans reportedly live within five miles of a retail community pharmacy. Especially true in many rural areas of the Middle Atlantic States, the current shortage of pharmacists, including such large metropolitan cites such as NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Newark and Virginia Beach, has had a noticeably negative effect on the quality of healthcare that the region's citizens and residents currently receive. The staffing shortage has led to reduced operating hours for many community drugstores and retail chain pharmacies, longer prescription dispensing waiting times, decreased customer satisfaction with the pharmacy's operation, plus the turning away of some patients who were seeking to get COVID vaccinations.
