Overview
This website is designed to make it easy and convenient for either new practioners or experienced pharmacists, to view information about Medco, our practice settings, our locations, experiential programs offered and employment opportunities available. In connection with providing this information, there are times when we will ask for or collect personal information from you.
As part of our commitment to honoring your privacy, we provide this policy to make you aware of the choices you have about the way your information is used. Additionally, this policy will explain the approach we take in protecting and using the information that we gather from you. For your ease and convenience, we make this notice available from every page of this website, identified as "Privacy Policy" with a link to this notice.
Please note: This privacy policy applies only to information collected through this website.
Collection and use of information
This site collects both personally identifiable and non-personally
identifiableinformation to improve the usefulness of the online information and services we offer to our users.
Personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that directly identifies an individual or that individual's residence, including an individualÕs name, postal and e-mail addresses, date of birth, or work and home telephone number. Non-personally identifiable information is any data element or collection of data elements that, by itself, cannot be associated with a specific individual. There are two types of non-personally identifiable information collected on this site. The first type includes information provided through your application, such as the state in which you live.
The second type of non-personally identifiable information which is routinely gathered from all site visitors focuses on website activity, such as how many people visit the site, the pages they visit, what website they are coming from, how long they stay, etc. This site visitor data is collected on an aggregated, anonymous basis, which means personally identifiable information is not associated with this data. This type of non-personally identifiable information is generally gathered through the use of web server logs and cookie technology.
Information requested during the application process
The only area of this site where you will be asked for personally identifiable information is during application to either the summer internship program or the managed care residency program. Application to either program is optional; however, if you fail to complete an application, you will not be considered for a position.
Should you choose to apply for either program, you will be required to provide the following personally identifiable information:
- your name;
- your e-mail address, which serves as the means to contact you regarding your application;
- your postal address which serves as one of the means to contact you or respond to any inquiries if necessary
- your telephone number, mobile phone number;
- your CV/Resume
Should you choose to apply for either program, you will be required to provide the following non-personally identifiable information:
- current college of pharmacy, dates attended, degree upon completion;
- work related information (current employer, position held, responsibilities, dates of employment)
Correcting your personally identifiable information
If your personally identifiable information changes (for example, you change your e-mail or postal address), or if you need to update or correct any of the information you submitted in your application, you may do so by sending an e-mail outlining the necessary changes directly to Summer Internship Program Manager: e-mail at tracie_oden@medco.com or to the Director of the Managed Care Residency Program, Doris Fishman at doris_fishman@medco.com.
