    2019 Pharm4Me Innovation Challenge

    AACP is pleased to announce the launch of the 2019 Pharm4Me Innovation Challenge! We encourage student pharmacists and middle/high school students to work as a team and identify innovative solutions to medication or health-related problems in their communities. A primary goal of this competition is to stimulate interest in pharmacy careers by exposing young students to the role of pharmacists in health care. The Challenge is sponsored by our Pharm4Me partner, OptumRx. Winning teams will receive cash awards and be recognized at the 2019 AACP Annual Meeting.

    Changes to the Project Requirements

    To streamline the process, AACP has updated the project requirements and created a new online submission form. Please see the attached PDF and Pharm4Me web page for details. Submissions are due by March 15, 2019. Please contact pharm4me@aacp.org with questions.

    Congratulations Again to our 2018 Winning Teams!
