Welcome to the ULM Chapter of the Network for Collaborative Oncology Development and Advancement

We are a student branch of the Network for Collaborative Oncology Development and Advancement (NCODA). NCODA is a globally integrated oncology non-profit organization founded to improve patient-centered care in cancer treatment. NCODA provides support to oncology professionals through collaborations, education, and innovation to ensure high-quality, well-rounded, and personalized care throughout a patient’s cancer journey.

 

Mission Statement:

The Mission of NCODA is patient-centered, collaborative care. They hope to empower the medically-integrated oncology team to deliver positive, patient-centered outcomes by providing leadership, expertise, quality standards, and best practices.

 

Student Benefits:

• Networking – The NCODA Professional Student Organization (PSO) connects students with like-minded peers from across the country through the monthly educational webinars, as well as, during the Spring Forum and Fall Summit.

• Oncology Education- NCODA provides monthly education specifically for students. These topics cover a wide range of information that is usually only briefly discussed during school lectures. These webinars provide a chance to hear from doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and current pharmacy students. They also have webinars geared toward practicing pharmacists that are presented on a higher level.  

• Publications/Presentations- They provide the chance for students to become published in Oncolytics Today and ForumRewind. Students have the opportunity to present on an international stage during educational webinars.

• Post-Graduate Fellowships – NCODA offers Doctor of Pharmacy graduates a 1-year fellowship opportunity to network with a vast majority of oncology professionals, gain specialized experience, and build upon their dedication to patient advocacy.

• Residency Opportunity – NCODA offers a Medically-Integrated Oncology Pharmacy (MIOP) Residency Program to new pharmacy graduates and practicing pharmacists. This 1-year comprehensive training residency helps to prepare participants for a successful career in oncology pharmacy.

 

Goals of our student chapter are:
