The Power of Optimism and Finding Joy in Volunteering

Optimism is an essential trait for oncology pharmacists, something that drives the practitioner's day-to-day and motivates the patient. But it can also transform how we approach the job, domestically and overseas.

Diana Tamer, PharmD, BCOP is a clinical associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City school of pharmacy. Originally from Lebanon, and passionate about pursuing a career in dance, her journey changed and led her to practice Oncology Pharmacy in the USA.

Peter and Matt sat down with Diana for an inspiring conversation, learning about her experiences volunteering in Côte d'Ivoire through a HOPA initiative; how her faith guides her; and the differences in American and Lebanese oncology pharmacy.
