Our Pharmacy Cancer Care Team is comprised of over 60 clinical pharmacists with specialized training in oncology, hematology, and transplant services. Together, we support seven cancer sites across the Kansas City metropolitan area and a >1000-bed academic hospital, making us one of the largest and most dynamic oncology pharmacy teams in the region. We foster a rich environment for professional growth, offering opportunities to precept pharmacy students and residents, engage in research, and participate in national organizations. Our team works closely with Investigational Drug Services and the Pharmacy Informatics Beacon Team, supporting over 400 clinical trials across the health system.

PGY2 Oncology Residency Program
Our competitive PGY2 Oncology Residency is designed to develop well-rounded oncology practitioners equipped to thrive in diverse practice settings. Residents gain experience in adult inpatient and ambulatory hematology/oncology and BMT/CT, complete a longitudinal research project, and contribute to teaching at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy.

• Ranked for Cancer Care by U.S. News & World Report for 12 consecutive years

The team is preparing for a major expansion with the opening of a new state-of-the-art cancer center in December 2027, which will include enhanced support for advanced cellular therapies. As we grow, we are seeking exceptional team members to help shape the future of oncology care.

This is a unique opportunity to join a nationally recognized cancer program at a pivotal moment, contribute to strategic planning, and lead high-impact initiatives that will define the next generation of cancer care.
