This unique awards program is open to licensed pharmacists practicing in all environments, including chain, independent, institutional, and government settings, as well as technicians and student pharmacists. This year, for the first time, a Specialty Pharmacist of the Year will be selected.

The awards, presented by Pharmacy Times in partnership with Parata Systems, will be given in the following categories:

• Civic Leader of the Year
• Entrepreneur of the Year
• Future Pharmacist of the Year
• Lifetime Achievement Award
• Military Pharmacist of the Year
• Patient Care Provider of the Year
• Rising Star of the Year
• Specialty Pharmacist of the Year
• Technician of the Year
• Technology Innovator of the Year

One of the category winners in the pharmacist categories will be chosen to receive the program’s highest honor—the 2013 Next-Generation Pharmacist™ award—which recognizes a pharmacist with an exceptional vision for the pharmacy profession or industry as a whole.

Nominations will be evaluated by an independent panel of judges chaired by Pharmacy Times Editor-in-Chief Fred Eckel. The Next-Generation Pharmacist^TM awards will be presented at a special gala dinner event held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday, August 11, 2013, concurrent with the National Association of Chain Drug Stores’ Total Store Expo.
