Welcome to the ULM Chapter of National Community Oncology Dispensing Association

We are a student branch of the National Community Oncology Dispensing Association (NCODA). NCODA is a not-for-profit organization founded to strengthen oncology organizations with medically-integrated services.

 

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:

 

• Oncology Education- They provide monthly education specifically for students. These topics cover a wide range of information that are 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.   
• APPE Rotation- They currently offer a virtual/in-person APPE rotation. This is a non-patient care elective in Oncology. The APPE provides students a chance to learn more about oncology, association management skills, and the pharmaceutical industry.   
• 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- They also currently have 2 fellowship opportunities that students can apply for: Oncology Association Management Fellowship and Oncology | Advocacy | Health Policy and Equity Fellowship

Goals of our student chapter are:

 

• Improve and expand the student’s knowledge of the oncology world early in their academic career.
• Educate and register the community on Be The Match. 
• Increase awareness of supportive care needed for oncology patients.
