Next-Generation Pharmacist

About the Awards Program

In keeping with our vision to elevate the perception of pharmacy, Parata partnered with Pharmacy Times to create the Next-Generation Pharmacist® Awards program. The program honors pharmacists, technicians, students and industry advocates who are defining the future of pharmacy. Since 2010, more than 300 pharmacy leaders have been recognized.
