Each team is given a specific patient case that reflects an actual scenario that pharmacists may encounter in any patient-venue. Students have two hours to identify acute and chronic medical problems and develop a pharmacist’s care plan. The top three teams are then required to give a ten minute oral presentation justifying their therapy recommendations.
Visit http://www.ashp.org/Import/ABOUTUS/Awards/ClinicalSkillsCompetition.aspx to see last year's local/national cases and answer keys. The team with the highest combined score of the oral and written presentations is declared winner. The winning team from each school will advance to participate in the national competition held annually at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting.
Winning students from each school will receive a complimentary registration (a $265 value) for the 45th ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in Anaheim, California. The top ten national finalists will receive a $100 ASHP gift certificate as part of their prize package. National winners will receive a $500 cash award and trophy for their school! Winning team members MUST be able to attend the National Competition. Even if you are not able to attend the Midyear Meeting this year, please feel free to still come and participate. It will be a valuable experience for all participants! And of course, food and refreshments will be served!
