National P&T Competition Judges

2020 judging enrollment is complete. Please check back this fall for 2021 opportunities.

Would you like to help groom the next generation of managed care leaders? Consider serving as a judge for the AMCP Foundation Annual National Student Pharmacist P&T Competition! As a thank you for significant time and effort, each judge receives a complimentary, non-transferable registration to AMCP 2020 in Houston, Texas.

Judges are asked to: 
  • Commit to meeting all P&T Competition judging deadlines. This is critical. Please do not volunteer if you have any conflicts with the specific timeframes listed below.
  • Review the case study and team assignments thoroughly.
  • Become familiar with the competition drug, therapeutic area, and manufacturer dossier.
  • Review and evaluate written materials submitted by student pharmacist teams, including an individual drug review monograph and P&T Committee PowerPoint presentation. Team entries will be accessed and scored via a dedicated online platform, and documents will be available in digital formats only. You will be able to download and print documents for your convenience during the judging process; however, please understand that the AMCP Foundation is not able to provide hard copies to judges.

  • Score materials in the dedicated online platform using criteria and rubrics provided by the AMCP Foundation.

  • Remain objective towards team submission, without bias towards any particular team.
