ENTRIES into the Early Career Pharmacy Educator Award, part of the Dr Erica Sainsbury Awards, are now open.
The award looks to recognise both non-pharmacist and pharmacist educators, tutors and work integrated learning (WIL) practice supervisors who, at the time of application, have been engaged with an accredited pharmacy degree program or Intern Training Program for at least one year.
To be eligible, applicants must have no more than five years teaching experience in a higher education institution, including tutoring and part-time teaching, and the five years can be non-sequential.
Applicants who are health professionals regulated under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) must not have a condition on their registration.
To enter, applicants must submit a 500-word statement that illustrates how they meet two out of eight criteria, as well as provide a confidential referee.
The Award, along with the Dr Erica Sainsbury Pharmacist Supervisor Award, was established to honour Dr Erica Sainsbury (pictured) for the legacy she left in pharmacy education.
Dr Sainsbury, who passed away in Dec 2021, had a teaching career that spanned more than 30 years at the School of Pharmacy, University of Sydney.
She also worked closely with the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) to develop accreditation standards, complete and publish several expansive literature reviews.
