“My experience in the MIOP residency at Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute has been incredibly rewarding. Everyone here is supportive and approachable, creating a welcoming and collaborative environment. Throughout these last few months, my knowledge of oncology has grown significantly, and I have been able to immerse myself in the field in ways that have completely changed my perspective on cancer care. The opportunities for growth and networking offered by this residency are unmatched, and I would highly recommend it to any pharmacist interested in pursuing a career in oncology pharmacy!”

Texas Oncology
“Since beginning my NCODA MIOP Pharmacy Residency with Park Pharmacy at Tennessee Oncology, I have learned an abundance of information regarding oral oncolytic treatment options for cancer patients and a pharmacist’s role in dispensing these orals to patients in addition to the importance of managing medication adherence. I’m now a practicing, licensed pharmacist and gaining valuable knowledge with IV chemotherapy regimens, presenting on disease state topic discussions, and completing assignments/projects that will not only help Park Pharmacy but will continue to help me grow as a new pharmacist both professionally and personally. I look forward to what else my residency has to offer me going forward.”
