MSO qualifications

Hi All,

We are looking to clarify our MSO Job description in terms of the qualifications required or preferred for any future candidates. We are a pediatric institution but would like to hear from adult and combination adult/peds institutions as well. 

Currently our MSO JD states PGY1, PGY2, and medication safety experience all are required or PGY2 medication safety residency with pediatric clinical experience required.

What are the minimum required qualifications for the MSO position at your organization? What, if any, qualifications are preferred but not required?

1. Bachelor's Degree?
2. PharmD?
3. PGY1?
4. PGY2?
5. Fellowship?
6. Work experience? If yes, what is the minimum amount of time in a position and what type of work experience is accepted?
7. Certifications ISMP, ASHP, CPPS, etc.
8. Any other details?

Thanks!
Nilam
