Established in 1971, the ASHP Donald E. Francke Medal honors pharmacists who have made significant international contributions to health-system pharmacy. The medal is conferred at the discretion of the ASHP Board of Directors. It may be given annually to one person and may be presented to the recipient at the Society’s Summer Meeting, Midyear Clinical Meeting, or other appropriate function. The award consists of an inscribed medal, and the recipient is eligible for an honorarium equivalent to payment of his or her travel expenses to attend the event at which the award is bestowed. The recipient provides a lecture at that time.
