Excellence in Pharmacy Award Program
Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., has been committed to the highest standards of
quality in research and development, manufacturing and distribution, and
customer service since 1961. This commitment has been extended into pharmacy
education through our annual EXCELLENCE IN PHARMACY AWARD. Since 1985, The
EXCELLENCE IN PHARMACY AWARD has honored a baccalaureate or entry level
Pharm.D. graduate from each pharmacy school for their academic achievement and
professional motivation.
PROGRAM PROCEDURES
In early February of each year an EXCELLENCE IN PHARMACY AWARD program
announcement is sent to Deans of all colleges/schools of pharmacy in the U.S.
and Puerto Rico.
In this program announcement, the individual college/school of pharmacy is asked
to select one (1) award recipient from their college/school who best meets the
predetermined selection criteria. The selection process is usually coordinated
through the awards committee of the individual college/school of pharmacy.
This is not a competitive program in which pharmacy students make direct
application. Application forms are not available upon request. Individual
colleges/schools of pharmacy receive program materials and award criteria
automatically on an annual basis. They then select the award recipients for
their particular school from the pool of students they determine to be eligible
for the award.
Once an award recipient has been selected, the college/school of pharmacy
completes and submits the data sheet provided to the professional relations
consultant of Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
A choice of awards is available. The college/school of pharmacy (not the award
recipient) may choose either:
-
A $250 cash award or
-
A copy of the loose leaf edition of Drug Interactions Facts and one (1) year of
quarterly update service beginning June 1.
All recipients receive a personalized framed certificate acknowledging their
achievement.
Most colleges/schools of pharmacy present the Mylan Pharmaceuticals EXCELLENCE
IN PHARMACY AWARD at a formal awards ceremony in the spring of each year.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Criteria by which the individual college/school of pharmacy select the
recipient of the Mylan Pharmaceuticals EXCELLENCE IN PHARMACY AWARD are as
follows:
The recipient shall be a 5th or 6th year student in a baccalaureate or entry
level Pharm.D program of the college/school of pharmacy.
The recipient must be in the top 25 percent of his/her class academically.
The recipient shall demonstrate high professional motivation and the intent to
enter practice upon graduation.
Students demonstrating superior proficiency in the provision of drug information
services may be given special consideration providing all other criteria are
met.
