AFC advances health equity by providing comprehensive, whole-person healthcare to our neighbors who would otherwise lack access. This is done through the support of dedicated volunteer medical professionals. Volunteer pharmacists are integral to our mission. Shifts for pharmacy are Mondays (1-4pm) and Tuesdays-Fridays (10am-1pm, 1pm-4pm).
Depending on experience and background, pharmacists are also eligible to do diabetic education with patients. Shifts for diabetic education are Monday-Friday (1-3:30pm) and Tuesday-Thursday (5:30-8pm).
Pharmacists are expected to commit to at least 2 shifts (3 hours) a month. Those can be split up throughout the month or (n the pharmacy) back-to-back in a single day. Some volunteers opt to spend more time with us, and that's great too! Volunteers are required to do phone interviews with several decision-making staff, provide professional references, and must pass a background screening.
Pharmacists must be licensed to practice in Virginia. We register all licensed medical professionals with the Virginia Department of Risk Management which provides risk coverage for those working as volunteers in free clinics.
