BREAKING NEWS: 2009 Pharmacy Residency Excellence Awards Recipients ANNOUNCED!
The Pharmacy Residency Excellence Awards program was created with the intent of recognizing excellence and leadership in the training and mentoring of pharmacy residents -- training that is crucial to the development of future leaders and raising the level of practice.
This awards program will honor leading practice facilities and mentors in pharmacy residency training. The facilities that conduct residency training are the forerunners in excellence, leadership, innovation and training in the United States. Key decision makers in health-system practice are mentors for future leaders in pharmacy practice.
The program has two goals:
1. to recognize the achievements of residency programs and practitioners who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in the training of pharmacy residents, and
2. to widely disseminate the results of these accomplishments in order to foster innovations in pharmacy residency training.
Selection Process
Applicants can nominate themselves or be nominated by others. Application materials must be completed and received in full by the deadline date in order to be evaluated. Each nomination will be reviewed by members of a selection panel using the criteria and score percentages listed for each award category. Only required application materials will be forwarded to the selection panel. If no applications for a specific category are deemed worthy, the selection panel reserves the right to not choose an awardee in a given year.
Two finalists will be chosen by the selection panel for each category and teleconference interviews will be conducted. The objective of the teleconference is to validate the information provided in the application's short answer section and to evaluate the impact of the preceptor or program on residency training and their ability to serve as a role model to others.
Selection Panel
The ASHP Foundation Board of Directors will appoint experts in the field of pharmacy residency training to serve on the selection panel. The selection panel will adhere to the established and published selection criteria. Selection panel members are not eligible to apply or be nominated for the preceptor awards and their respective programs are not eligible to apply or be nominated for the program award in the year in which they serve on the selection panel.
