 The ASHP-accredited
residency in Oncology
Pharmacy focuses
on the development
of competence in
applying pharmacologic
intervention in
cancer patients.
This is a specialized
residency with experiences
in four major areas:
advanced oncology
clinical practice
rotations, oncology
pharmacy drug distribution
services, teaching
activities and clinical
research. Comprehensive
oncology pharmacy
services are stressed,
providing rotational
experiences in medical
oncology, oncology
ambulatory care,
hematology and bone
marrow transplantation.
Most rotations are
at The University
Hospital with Bone
Marrow Transplantation
offered at The Jewish
Hospital.
Learning objectives
for the specialized
residency are focused
on developing competencies
in the pharmacotherapeutics
of antineoplastic
and biologic response
modifiers. Additional
experiences with
supportive care
management, infectious
diseases, patient
education and investigational
drug management
will enable the
resident to participate
effectively in therapeutic
decision-making,
drug therapy selection
and monitoring.
The resident will
have direct patient
care involvement
and formal and informal
consultations with
the medical staff.
The resident will
be involved in teaching
oncology therapeutics
to PharmD students
at The University
of Cincinnati, College
of Pharmacy. Additional
research experience
is gained through
involvement and
participation in
ongoing research
efforts of preceptors,
Hematology/Oncology
medical staff and
the Southwestern
Oncology Group (SWOG).
During the program,
the resident must
complete a self-directed
project. The scope,
magnitude and type
of project may vary
according to individual
interests, but must
be completed in
a manner suitable
for presentation
and publication.
