Frances Larsen Memorial Award Winner Announced
Gary E. Pakes,
PharmD of Durham, NC is the winner of the Frances Larsen Award for
the publication year 2001.
His winning
article, “Writing Manuscripts Describing Clinical Trials: A Guide
for Pharmacotherapeutic Researchers,” appeared in the June 2001
issue of The Annals of Pharmacotherapy.
Now in its 12th
year, the award contest is sponsored annually by AMWA’s Pacific
Southwest chapter to recognize excellence in medical article
writing. As noted by award chair Dove Bunkin, a three-member
judging panel faced a considerable challenge due to the high quality
of articles submitted.
Next year’s
contest will open in the spring; look for flyers in March or April
of 2003.
