HOPA Volunteer Groups
HOPA's volunteer groups provide members with the opportunity to serve while also growing professionally. If you want to make an impact on the hematology/oncology pharmacy profession, build a strong network, gain collaborative experience, and add noteworthy work to your CV, you are in the right place.
The Purpose of HOPA Volunteer Groups
Our member volunteers help us achieve our strategic goals and put within reach our vision that, someday, everyone undergoing cancer treatment will have an oncology pharmacist as an integral member of their care team. HOPA volunteer groups are comprised of councils and committees, and may include advisory groups and/or time-limited task forces.
Our annual call for volunteers is now closed.
Please check back each spring for our annual call for volunteers. In the meantime, learn about the structure of HOPA's volunteer groups below.
HOPA Councils
The purpose of HOPA’s Councils is to support and guide work being done within the organization’s strategic pillars of Education, Professional Practice, Research & Quality, and Advocacy & Awareness. The majority of our volunteer positions ladder directly up to one of those pillars; all of them help complete our governance structure.
Education Pillar
The Education Council is responsible for the overall outcomes of HOPA’s ACPE and BCOP educational programs. Education Committees are focused on building and maintaining HOPA's reputation as a high-quality provider of CE credits for hematology/oncology pharmacists.
