Professional Student Organization
Oncology Student Community
Our focus is to offer an international community for healthcare students with passion in oncology and pharmaceutical industry. We provide education, leadership, mentorship and opportunities in research and community outreach. We promote unique and dynamic experiences for students to collaborate with all oncology stakeholders.
Why Get Involved?
As a member of an NCODA Professional Student Organization, you will gain access to all of our member tools, libraries, and resources, which can help guide your studies. PSOs also give students opportunities to practice leadership skills while networking with national and international leaders in oncology.
The Importance of Oncology Education and Exposure
Many curriculums offer limited opportunities to learn about oncology. This limited experience makes it difficult for students to develop a passion for this dynamic and exciting field. Having access to an NCODA Professional Student Organization chapter allows students to become engaged with the field of oncology early in their careers. NCODA helps shape students’ understanding of oncology and their essential role as future healthcare providers.
PSO Member Benefits
We provide education, leadership, mentorship, and opportunities in research and community outreach. NCODA offers virtual Student Educational Talks to any and all student members!

Start an NCODA Professional Student Organization Chapter
Starting an NCODA student organization chapter is easy, thanks to an established framework we’ve used to create chapters across the nation. NCODA provides the administrative and financial support needed to begin, and the NCODA staff provides ongoing support to ensure your chapter’s success.
NCODA is looking to grow our student chapters at pharmacy colleges nationwide. If you have suggestions for additional NCODA student chapter sites, please email Cooper Bailey at cooper.bailey@ncoda.org or Austin Starkey at austin.starkey@ncoda.org.
