National P&T Competition Judges
Would you like to help groom the next generation of managed care leaders? Consider serving as a judge for the AMCP Foundation National Student Pharmacist P&T Competition!
The P&T Competition is conducted in three phases. We welcome your application to serve as a judge for the initial Entry Phase round. In this round, all participating teams submit a formulary drug monograph with supporting materials. Teams are evaluated on their ability to gather, review, critically appraise, and synthesize the evidence for the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of the study drug.
Entry Phase judging for the 2025 P&T Competition will take place during the 11-day period from January 24 to February 3, 2025.
- Judges will be assigned up to 10 drug monographs to review and score, using criteria and rubrics provided by AMCP Foundation.
- The estimated time commitment to review and score the monographs — plus provide brief feedback to each team — is 12-15 hours.
- Judges will be able to access their assigned entries beginning Friday, January 24.
- Team entries will be accessed and scored via a dedicated online platform, with documents available in digital formats only. You will be able to download and print documents for your convenience during the judging process.
- Scores for all monographs must be submitted by Monday, February 3.
Judges are asked to:
- Commit to meeting the stated judging timeline and deadline. This is critical. Please do not volunteer if you have any conflicts with the specific timeframe outlined above.
- Become familiar with the competition drug, therapeutic area, and manufacturer dossier.
- Remain objective towards team submissions, without bias toward any particular team.
We look for judges who:
- Are currently employed by (or retired from) a managed care organization.
- Are familiar with drug monograph development, formulary management, and P&T Committee review at health plans and/or PBMs.
- Understand best practices for identifying and evaluating the evidence that informs drug monograph development.
- Have experience with economic models.
