Respect, Excellence, and Service in Pharmacy

Pharmacy Times, in conjunction with Wal-Mart, is pleased to announce the establishment of a national award, to be known as "the RESPy," to honor outstanding pharmacy students who display exemplary behavior and great potential as community pharmacist candidates. As Ron Chomiuk, vice president of Wal-Mart Pharmacy Operations stated, "Pharmacy students are the future of our profession, and those selected for this award demonstrate that they are embracing these values through service to their community and will continue to act on these values as pharmacists."

Ten RESPy award winners will be chosen each year, featured in Pharmacy Times magazine, and will be honored with their respective college of pharmacy. Students selected to receive the award also will receive a cash award and will be offered a summer internship with Wal-Mart.
