AMCP Foundation 25th Annual P&T Competition 

Tuesday, April 1, 10am-1pm

The AMCP Foundation P&T Competition challenges student pharmacists to think in terms of real-world experience in the formulary decision-making process. The national competition is intended to give student pharmacists an opportunity to hone and test their skills in drug information, pharmacoeconomics, and effective presentation delivery. Don’t miss out on the presentations by the national finalist teams! 

The study drug for the 2025 P&T Competition is VELSIPITY™ (etrasimod). Velsipity is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults.
