Quality Improvement Research Project

Completion of a quality improvement research project is a required component of the residency programs. The purpose of this requirement is to introduce the resident to the principles of scientific method including the design, preparation, performance and interpretation of a medical project.  The resident also gains experience in the preparation of a manuscript for publication and improves his/her public speaking skills through formal presentation.

Cost Management Project

The PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Resident will conduct one Mobility, Mortality and Improvement (MMI) project during their residency year. The resident will examine an oncology-specific medication event, as well as design, present and implement structures to mitigate the chance of recurrence. The purpose of this requirement is to introduce the resident to the principles of Just Culture, error reporting and improve presentation skills.

Morbidity, Mortality and Improvement (MMI) Project

The PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Resident will conduct one Mobility, Mortality and Improvement (MMI) project during their residency year. The resident will examine an oncology-specific medication event, as well as design, present and implement structures to mitigate the chance of recurrence. The purpose of this requirement is to introduce the resident to the principles of Just Culture, error reporting and improve presentation skills.

Hospital Committee Assignments

The PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Resident is required to serve on the Oncology & Infusion Services subcommittee as a non-voting member. The purpose of this activity is to provide the resident with the opportunity to gain experience in the decision-making process encountered with committee work as well as multi-disciplinary interactions in a setting outside of clinical practice. 

Teaching Certificate Program

Though not a program requirement, residents have the opportunity to participate in the Teaching Certificate Program (TCP) affiliated with the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy (University of Cincinnati). Residents participate in formal seminars on precepting philosophy and technique, teaching experiences at the college of pharmacy, and the development of a teaching portfolio program. This program will allow the resident to gain a broad understanding of issues in pharmacy education and opportunities to practice their teaching skills.
