Foreign Pharmacy Grad - International Pharmacy Intern

You’ve invested a lot of time and energy in your education. Now you want the chance to make your mark. We offer challenging opportunities for you to learn and grow professionally. In our programs, you’ll be immersed in a culture of continuous improvement, with the goal of changing health care for the better.

At CVS Health, we are focused on transforming health care for our customers and making our company a great place to work. We help people navigate the health care system – and their personal health care – by improving access, lowering costs and being a trusted partner for every meaningful moment of health. Within our Retail locations, we bring this promise to life with heart every day and our US Non-Accredited Foreign Graduates play a critical role in supporting our pharmacy teams to consistently deliver on our brand promise, while developing their own skills in preparation for increasing responsibility.

As a US Non-Accredited Foreign Graduate, after successfully passing FPGEE and TOEFL, you will be eligible to complete your required US Internship hours and apply your didactic learning from pharmacy school into real-world practice to become ready for a Pharmacist role. Under the direction of your preceptor, you will complete a mixed modality learning plan designed to further develop your knowledge, skills, and abilities.

US Non-Accredited Foreign Graduates are required to successfully complete their internship within 18 months and be prepared to complete and pass all required Pharmacist licensure exams and processes within 120-days of the completion of required US Internship hours. Through your hands‑on experience, training roadmap, Key Learning Experiences (KLEs), and time spent with leaders in your district, you will deepen your understanding of and participate in pharmacy practice and patient care scenarios, build business acumen to understand how to improve pharmacy performance, and develop leadership skills to learn how to engage the pharmacy team and drive business outcomes.

While in the pharmacy, you will assist the pharmacy team to ensure that pharmacy operations run smoothly, our patients’ prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and we are providing caring service that exceeds patient expectations. You will learn to operate as part of the pharmacy team through consistent application of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), best practices, and effective communication.

Throughout your shifts and in all customer and colleague interactions, you will learn to demonstrate empathy and genuine care, and contribute to a safe and inclusive culture where all people feel valued and empowered.
