title: Impact of an oncology pharmacy residency training program on quality improvement initiatives in an oncology center.
abstract: The concept of quality care is something every patient expects, regardless of how they enter the health care system. The specialty-trained oncology pharmacy practitioner possesses many skills to offer the patient and other health care practitioners. Oncology pharmacy residency training involves specific types of learning situations and experiences, which will be critical for future roles the specialty resident may assume. Oncology practice is an area requiring a high level of care for patients, and highly skilled pharmacy practitioners are crucial for the care of these patients.
