PittPharmacy students Julia Heo and Varsh Prakasam (Class of 2020) were recently awarded second place in the ASHP New Drug Update Competition held fall of 2018.
The New Drug Update Competition is hosted by American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Pharmacy Student Forum through an online platform. The competition is a written assessment of a newly approved drug chosen by ASHP. It showcases new drug write-ups created by student pharmacists in which Heo and Prakasam submitted their write-up for the drug Andexxa™ (Andexanet Alfa).
The top three winners are featured via the ASHP Student Newslink. This competition exists as another great opportunity to bolster students' CV and prepare for residency.
