I have extensive experience in chemotherapy drug preparation, ensuring accuracy and safety in compounding. I am proficient in using aseptic techniques and following USP <797> guidelines. My role involved verifying dosages, monitoring for drug interactions, and educating patients on potential side effects. I also collaborated with oncologists to optimize treatment plans, ensuring patients receive the most effective therapy while minimizing risks.

I regularly attend oncology-focused conferences, subscribe to peer-reviewed journals like the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice, and participate in continuing education programs. I also engage in professional networks and online forums to discuss emerging therapies and clinical trials. Staying informed allows me to provide evidence-based recommendations and integrate innovative treatments into patient care.

During a routine review, I noticed a discrepancy in a patient’s chemotherapy dosage. I immediately halted the preparation, consulted the prescribing oncologist, and confirmed the correct dosage. I then implemented a double-check system for high-risk medications to prevent future errors. This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance and teamwork in ensuring patient safety.

I approach each patient with empathy and compassion, understanding the emotional toll of their diagnosis. I focus on providing clear communication and support, helping them navigate their treatment journey. To manage my own emotions, I practice self-care and seek support from colleagues. Balancing professionalism with empathy allows me to deliver high-quality care while maintaining my well-being.

I simplify treatment plans by providing clear, written instructions and using visual aids. I schedule follow-up calls to address concerns and monitor adherence. Additionally, I collaborate with caregivers and utilize reminder tools like pill organizers or mobile apps. Educating patients about the importance of adherence and addressing barriers proactively helps improve outcomes and patient satisfaction.
