Call for Regional Essay Competition to be published in PEN

This year PEN Magazine wants to give the opportunity through a competition to publish

the answer to the following questions to one member from each region. The objective is

to learn the differences in each region and how we can use those differences to better

our region. When answering the question we want you to think about pharmacy in your

country and how pharmacist practice in this area. Please use the criteria provided to

provide a guideline for your answer.

The winner for each region will be selected by your Regional Project Officer and

Pharmacy Education Committee by completeness of answers and innovation. Please

keep in mind that as this topic would be the same for all regions, article selection will

aim to feature the most innovative idea that shows pharmacist in their country the best.

We ask that the essays follows the following publication criteria:

[Theme of paper]

The value of the pharmacist in a world facing antimicrobial resistance: benefits

and challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean region

[Guideline Questions]

While keeping your article unique and original with a focus on your country ,

please address the following questions in your essay:

What is the role and the tasks of a pharmacist in the Antimicrobial

Stewardship (AMS) Team?

How can the role of the pharmacist be expanded in the AMS team?

What are the barriers that pharmacists face and how can they be

overcome?

If not already implemented, how would you propose to include

pharmacists in the team and describe the vital contributions they make?
