The National Patient Information Competition is a large, patented student organization held annually by the Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists Youth Commission, with representative students from all pharmacy faculties throughout the country participating. The main purpose of the competition is to emphasize that pharmacists are the profession that plays the greatest role in pharmacy, from preparing the medication to presenting it to the patient, and to provide students with professional awareness.
This year, the 19th edition of the competition, which also has a congress feature, was held at The Ankara Hotel on April 28-30, under the name "National Patient Information Competition and Pharmacy Summit". The competition was designed based on the phrase "Pharmacy= Science+Art+Love" by Prof. Dr. R. Neslihan Gürsoy from the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Hacettepe University Faculty of Pharmacy, and 33 contestants participated in the competition. After a preliminary round, Furkan Kaya, a 4th-year student at Hacettepe University Faculty of Pharmacy, was selected as the first-place winner. We congratulate him and wish him continued success on his path to reaching higher and better achievements.
