MSHP Residency Research PGY-2 Award 2014
The MSHP Outstanding Resident Research Award is presented to a pharmacy resident in
recognition of outstanding resident research. All PGY-2 residents who are members of MSHP
are eligible to apply. Following a thorough review, two finalists are selected by the Residency
Research Award Committee to present their research at the MSHP Annual Meeting. The
finalists are selected on the basis of: 1) project originality and innovativeness; 2) impact to the
institution and to Health-System pharmacy; 3) ability to incorporate the idea at other practice
sites (e.g. regional and metro sites, inpatient and outpatient); 4) impact on patient care; and 5)
quality of the written submission. We hope you will join us for the finalists’ research project
presentations on day 1 of the meeting, March 27th, between 5:30-6:30 pm. As an audience
member you can cast your vote to help determine the award recipient. The award recipient will
be announced during the Awards Ceremony on Friday, March 28th.
