Our 2nd installment in this Oncology Pharmacy Training Pathways mini-series discusses the PGY1 pharmacy residency route, without a PGY2 oncology residency. I am joined by Kayla Fry and Amber Burgess to discuss their experience to becoming oncology pharmacists. There are some similarities and differences in their paths to their current roles (and one It's-A-Small-World shared connection too!)
This mini-series is supported by the ELO Collaborative, a fantastic training opportunity for those seeking get more oncology training outside traditional pathways.

The last episode in this mini-series will cover the PGY-NONE pathway of becoming an oncology pharmacist.
There is no universal pathway to become an oncology pharmacist, and the discussions in this mini-series reflect the views & experiences of those involved.

We discuss the pros/cons of pursuing a PGY2 oncology residency with the understanding that residency training (or additional residency) training isn't for everyone.
