Overview
The Oncology Pharmacy Network (OPN) is a community of oncology pharmacists committed to continuously enhancing their expertise in hematology/oncology. The network offers a platform for oncology pharmacists within each region to exchange ideas and promote the integration of oncology principles into clinical practice to optimize cancer care. The OPN comprises seventeen regional chapters serving members across diverse oncology healthcare settings, including hospitals, health systems, community practices, outpatient clinics, medically integrated pharmacies, and more. The OPN Regional Summits are conferences designed to provide oncology pharmacy clinicians with the latest evidence-based strategies to optimize care and outcomes for patients with cancer.
This conference is planned with and for hematology/oncology pharmacy clinicians (pharmacists, pharmacy techs, and other healthcare professionals involved in oncology pharmacy) and is a collaborative effort of clinicians from multiple organizations in each community. The OPN Regional Summits offer a unique opportunity for oncology pharmacy professionals in the community to network, collaborate, and share best practices to advance the field of oncology pharmacy.
