GOLD Coast pharmacist Veronica Moss is celebrating after being named the PSA MIMS Queensland Intern Pharmacist of the Year.
Moss (pictured) was presented with her award last weekend by PSA Queensland director Mark Lock during the PSA Intern Training Program Workshop at the Pharmacy Australia Centre for Excellence in Brisbane.
The diminutive Moss completed her internship at Chemist Warehouse Varsity Lakes, with lofty Lock saying she was an "excellent example of what young pharmacists can achieve early in their career.
Varsity Lakes Chemist Warehouse managing pharmacist Eric Lee said he had watched his intern Moss grow into a confident young pharmacist with a bright future.
"Veronica's strength is certainly her therapeutic knowledge and intelligence which made her pre-registration year very challenging for me as I had to create learning experiences that pushed her further than our usual students.
"She learnt quickly and was very reflective of her actions, making the year a rewarding one for both of us," Lee added.
As well as working at the pharmacy, Moss was involved in many external activities including taking part in the Clinical Intervention Pilot program developed by Chemist Warehouse to use nationally.
As part of her award she will now attend PSA17 in Sydney where she willl compete with other state and territory winners for the National Intern Pharmacist of the Year Award.
