The Baylor University Medical Center PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Residency aims to develop well-rounded clinicians who can provide high level pharmaceutical care in a variety of oncology settings
Our one-year specialty program is designed to provide specialized training for residents interested in oncology. Residents will gain experience in the comprehensive management of a diverse population of cancer patients who are at various places in the spectrum of their disease, from initial diagnosis to end of life care.
The program provides a variety of learning experiences that offer many opportunities to work with multidisciplinary teams to design patient-centered care. Upon successful completion of a PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Residency, residents are prepared to provide advanced patient care in any oncology setting, perform practice-related research, and serve patients, providers, and institutions as a clinical expert in oncology medicine.
The program was initiated in julio 2020 and is accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). We currently accept one resident each year.
