Subject: oncology services opportunity
We have openings in the oncology pool and are in need of two or three pharmacists to back-fill positions. Pharmacists in the oncology pool typically cover UB4, UB9, BMT, and possibly serve as a back-up to the oncology specialists positions. Not all pharmacists in the pool work all of these positions, but there is always the possibility of needing to train to work as UB and to cover BMT pharmacy.
We would like to have up to ten pharmacists (not including oncology specialists or residents) at all times who demonstrate interest and competency to work in an oncology role. There are no new positions available, only the opportunity to work in an position that is primarily oncology.
The competency: There will be readings and work assigned for you to do on your own time. You will be given two days of training with oncology specialists and/or other oncology areas as appropriate. You will then be evaluated to meet multiple criteria (credentialing checklist attached) and you must successfully pass a case-based chemotherapy competency.
Applicants: All qualified applicants will be interviewed. You will be chosen primarily based on skill level. A test will be given to each applicant prior to the interview to assess basic chemotherapy knowledge. IV training is highly desired and a certain number of pharmacists must be capable of staffing or covering BMT. Pharmacists who are already in the oncology pool do not have to reapply, only complete the annual competency.
Ongoing: Chemotherapy competencies will be renewed annually.
If you have an interest in working as needed in an oncology based position, regardless of your seniority, please let me know by end of day Wednesday, January 15th. Feel free to reach out to me or the oncology specialists if you have questions.
***Please note: This is not a new position nor is it intended to fill an oncology specialist's position.***
