One of the category winners in the pharmacist categories will be chosen to receive the program’s highest honor—the 2012 Next-Generation Pharmacist—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 San Diego Zoo on Monday, October 15, coinciding with the National Community Pharmacists Association Annual Convention.
