The Pursuit of Professional Practice Excellence and the Achievement of Peer Recognition

摘要

With the awards season in full swing, it is important to remember that the goal of the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP) National Awards Program is to improve patient outcomes by promoting excellence in the practice of pharmacy throughout hospitals and other collaborative health care settings. During the Professional Practice Conference in Toronto, outstanding individual practitioners and teams from across the country will have been recognized for their outstanding commitment to the profession and their patients. CSHP offers 2 types of member awards. The General Awards Program recognizes practitioners who have completed projects deemed to be innovative and of importance to pharmacy practice in hospitals and other collaborative health care settings, in 7 categories. The Special Awards Program recognizes members who have distinguished themselves within the profession over time (Distinguished Service and Isabel E. Stauffer Meritorious Service awards) or who show a commitment to practice excellence and professional development early in their hospital pharmacy career (student and new practitioner awards).
