Rite Aid is an American retail company that operates over 2,500 stores in the United States. Rite Aid is headquartered in White Plains, New York.
In 2015, the company announced that it would be phasing out the use of the term “pharmacist” in favor of “medical specialist.”.
In late 2017, it was reported that Rite Aid was looking to hire 16 full-time pharmacists. The pharmacists would be responsible for filling prescriptions, providing medication education, and managing the pharmacy’s inventory.
The pharmacists would also be responsible for providing customer service.
The decision to hire 16 pharmacists was met with criticism from some. They argue that the number is too high and that the pharmacists would be overwhelmed.
Others argue that the pharmacists would be a valuable addition to the Rite Aid team. The decision to hire 16 pharmacists is still pending, and it is unclear whether or not the company will proceed with the plan.
