Heidi D. Finnes, PharmD, BCOP, FHOPA, current president of Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA), addresses an audience of PGY2 pharmacy residents regarding how HOPA can support their professional future and help them prepare to obtain and maintain their BCOP certification.

Heidi Finnes: My name is Heidi Finnes. I am the senior manager of pharmacy cancer research at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and I am the current president of the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA). We want you to know as an organization that HOPA is here to support you. We are excited to have you as colleagues in our profession of hematology/oncology pharmacy practice, and we hope that you'll lean on HOPA for the resources and the expertise, particularly as you prepare for your board certification and oncology pharmacy exam.

We have preparatory courses as well as updates, self-study modules that can help you obtain as well as maintain BCOP certification. You don't have to be a HOPA a member, but we would love to count you among our members as colleagues and future leaders helping us to support our mission of a hematology/oncology pharmacist for every cancer patient. You've worked so hard as oncology pharmacy residents. Now it's our turn to help you get board certified in oncology pharmacy.
