What is the P&T Competition?

The P&T Competition is intended to give students an opportunity to hone critical analysis, presentation and research skills. More importantly, the Competition allows students to view different styles and processes that can be used in effective formulary management. It also provides exposure to, and a working knowledge of AMCP’s Format for Formulary Submissions. Students learn to develop and manage a formulary system through evaluating literature, conducting comparative studies, and making real-life decisions based on cost-benefit analysis.
