How to Conduct a Local Pharmacy & Therapeutics Competition

The AMCP Foundation National Student Pharmacist Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Competition is an annual team event designed to provide an immersive experience in the skills necessary for effective formulary review and management. Teams ideally comprised of four student pharmacists work together on assignments including: 

• A written evaluation of the competition drug(s), with recommendations for formulary placement and associated utilization management strategies. 
• A PowerPoint presentation to the “P&T Committee” (i.e., the competition judges). 

The assignments involve extensive research into the clinical, societal, and pharmacoeconomic evidence supporting the value proposition of the competition drug(s). Schools must register their intention to participate in the P&T Competition in the Fall of each year. Entries to the National P&T Competition are due in late January each year.
