PGY-2 Oncology Pharmacy Residency training builds upon the foundations of pharmacy practice established during Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency experience.
The purpose of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s PGY-2 Oncology Pharmacy Residency is to prepare clinical pharmacists for board certification in oncology pharmacy, advanced patient care, academic opportunities, and research to advance our profession.
During your ASHP-accredited, twelve-month, PGY-2 Oncology Pharmacy at Roswell Park, you’ll work with cancer patients across the treatment continuum, from recently diagnosed, through active treatment, and into remission in a variety of different cancer types. Our collaborative, interdisciplinary approach puts you on the front lines with our world-renowned physicians, scientists and technicians.
