Anastasia Jenkins Named ASHP Fellow
Prestigious honor recognizes sustained excellence in pharmacy practice and professional leadership
Oxford, Miss. – Anastasia Jenkins has been named a Fellow of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. The ASHP is one of the profession’s highest recognitions for pharmacists who have demonstrated excellence in practice, leadership and service.
The program honors pharmacists who have made significant contributions to the profession through sustained involvement in pharmacy practice and meaningful service to ASHP. Candidates must be members of ASHP with at least 10 years of professional service, as well as a demonstrated record of outstanding leadership and engagement.
Jenkins’ recognition reflects years of dedication to advancing pharmacy practice, mentoring colleagues and contributing to professional organizations at both the state and national levels.
“Being named a fellow signifies engagement and participation over the course of your career, and I’m honored to join this dedicated group of professionals,” said Jenkins, clinical associate professor of Pharmacy Practice. “It represents years of involvement and recognizes the impact pharmacists can have through leadership and service.”
ASHP is the nation’s largest association representing pharmacists, student pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in hospitals and health systems. The organization advocates for innovation in pharmacy practice, advances education and professional development opportunities, and supports pharmacists throughout every stage of their careers.
To become an ASHP fellow, pharmacists must demonstrate sustained commitment to excellence in pharmacy practice, contributions to the body of knowledge in acute and ambulatory care settings, involvement in educating practitioners and students, and active leadership within ASHP.
Jenkins said her involvement with ASHP has helped shape her professional career and provided opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across the country.
“ASHP has been my pharmacy home since my career started,” Jenkins said. “Being involved at both the state and national levels allows me to learn from others, advocate for the profession and help advance patient care.”
The fellowship application process is highly competitive and requires pharmacists to submit extensive documentation detailing their professional accomplishments, leadership activities and service contributions over the course of their careers. Applications are reviewed by a panel before fellows are selected.By
