I really think that the clinical experience really shouldn't be a requirement so much as it should be just an asset.. If they really know what they're doing, it wouldn't really be that hard to adapt to the health/pharmacy environment

I hope not, I had zero clinical experience when I started. Developers need little/no clinical experience, yet Designers definitely need it.
It took me awhile to adjust to the clinical terms. Since I came from a military contractor I did understand some of the ass-backwards things clinical software does, cause lives are on the line things are not always done in the most efficient, cost effective manner like in other tech industries.
We're still hiring. 7 people as designers, developers, managers, and implementation specialists (ie client installation and support).
