H-E-B Recruiting Pharmacy Interns in Texas

**H-E-B Expands Future Pharmacist Program, Addressing Growing Healthcare Needs Across Texas**

San Antonio, TX – H-E-B, one of Texas’s leading retailers, is significantly investing in the future of healthcare by actively recruiting Pharmacy Interns for its H-E-B and Central Market pharmacies statewide. The grocery giant recently announced ongoing recruitment efforts for its Pharmacy Intern Partner program, targeting students currently enrolled in accredited Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs across Texas. This initiative aims to cultivate a robust pipeline of skilled pharmacists while offering students invaluable experiential learning and a direct path to career development within the company.

The expansion comes at a time when demand for pharmacy services continues to grow, exacerbated by a persistent national and regional pharmacist shortage. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects continued growth in pharmacist positions, underscoring the importance of programs like H-E-B’s in preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals.

“Our Pharmacy Intern Partner program is more than just an internship; it’s a foundational step for future pharmacists to integrate their academic knowledge with real-world patient care,” said Dr. Emily Chen, H-E-B’s Vice President of Pharmacy Operations. “We are deeply committed to fostering talent right here in Texas, providing a supportive environment where interns can hone their skills, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and ultimately grow into well-rounded, compassionate pharmacy leaders. This program is vital to ensuring Texans continue to receive the highest quality pharmacy services.”

Pharmacy Intern Partners will gain comprehensive hands-on experience, performing critical tasks under the direct supervision of licensed pharmacists. Their responsibilities will span various aspects of pharmacy operations, including assisting with the accurate and efficient dispensing of medications, administering immunizations, and providing essential patient counseling. Interns will also be crucial in managing inventory, handling prescription intake processes, and ensuring strict compliance with all legal and ethical standards in a professional healthcare setting.

This program offers students a unique opportunity to apply their academic learning in a dynamic retail pharmacy environment, known for its focus on community and customer service. H-E-B emphasizes the role’s importance in developing well-rounded pharmacists prepared for the complexities of modern patient care.

To qualify for the program, candidates must be actively pursuing their PharmD degree from an accredited institution and be able to obtain a Texas pharmacy intern license. Successful applicants will also be required to pass a comprehensive background check and drug screen.

H-E-B’s commitment to developing its workforce aligns with its broader mission to serve Texas communities. By investing in these future pharmacists, the company aims to enhance access to quality healthcare services and maintain its reputation for excellence in patient care across its more than 400 stores.
