Overview
The APhA–ASP Innovative Programming Award was adapted to allow chapters to share
creative ideas implemented in their chapters and learn from other schools across the
country. The award emphasizes APhA-ASP's mission to provide opportunities for
professional growth and improve patient care while advancing the future of pharmacy.
Students have the opportunity to practice presentation skills, highlight their
chapter’s innovation, network and learn from students across the country, and
implement creative ideas in their chapters.
Chapters may present a single activity or a series of activities based on a central
theme that is original, creative, and sets their chapter apart from all other
APhA‐ASP chapters. Innovative programs may include patient care and community
service projects (not including national patient care projects), community outreach,
American Pharmacists Month, fundraisers, membership recruitment, change in
leadership structure/meeting structure, etc.
Any event pertaining to Operation Diabetes, Operation Heart, Operation Immunization,
Operation Reproductive Health, Operation OTC Medicine Safety, or Operation Substance
Use Disorders cannot be used for this award because they are already recognized as
national awards. Additionally, PharmFlix submissions cannot be utilized.
All innovative programming must have been completed between September 2021 to
September 2024, and only events that have been accomplished and implemented can be
reported on. Chapters may not re-submit a topic that was submitted for last year's
competition.
