This 356-bed adult cancer clinical care facility, including a 36-bed blood and marrow transplant unit, is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trial Network— notably one of only four centers funded by the NCI to conduct both Phase I and II clinical trials on novel anticancer drugs, achieved Magnet® designation for excellence in patient care, and is fully accredited by the Joint Commission, the American College of Surgeons Common on Cancer and the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy. The center includes six outpatient chemotherapy infusion clinics, dispensing an estimate of over 75,000 doses of chemotherapy annually. The Department of Pharmacy consists of inpatient and outpatient hematology/oncology clinical specialist pharmacists, pain and palliative medicine pharmacists, anti-coagulation pharmacists, cancer informatics pharmacists, medication assistance pharmacists, and Hematology/Oncology specialty practice pharmacy residents.
The James Cancer Hospital at The Ohio State University offers a one-year postgraduate year two (PGY2) ASHP accredited oncology pharmacy residency program. The clinical pharmacy program is designed to align with our subspecialized disease specific model allowing residents the opportunity to train with clinical specialists who are experts in their subspecialty in both inpatient and ambulatory clinic setting. The program allows residents to develop their hematology/oncology knowledge base including cancer treatment, supportive care, and the role of clinical trials in this patient population. Upon completion of the program, the resident will have the skillset necessary to work as a respected member of a multi-disciplinary hematology/oncology patient care team.
