Lois Parker, BS, RPh, Senior Attending Pharmacist and Continuing Education Administrator, Massachusetts General Hospital
I am a senior attending pharmacist and at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, one of the nation's leading cancer centers. I have been employed there for over 25 years, and have spent most of my career involved with oncology in some capacity. I have served on a number of interdisciplinary committees dealing with oncology. The use of chemotherapy for non-oncologic indications has been a hot topic at my institution and many others in recent years.
