Drysdale and MacDougall Receive Awards at Graduation Ceremony

Monday, May 5: At PharmD graduation ceremonies on Saturday, May 3, Class of 2008 graduate Troy Drysdale, PharmD, received the School of Pharmacy Bowl of Hygeia Award. The Bowl of Hygeia Award is the highest honor given to a graduating student in the School of Pharmacy. The award was presented by John Skhal, PharmD, president of the UCSF Pharmacy Alumni Association which sponsors the award. First presented in 1966, this honor is bestowed upon a student by fellow classmates and the faculty, and it recognizes the individual who best exemplifies the qualities most desirable in a pharmacist in action, thought, and attitude.

At the same ceremony, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pharmacy Conan MacDougall, PharmD, received the J.M. Long Foundation Prize for Excellence in Teaching. Each graduating class selects its most outstanding instructor over the entire 4 years of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum to receive the award. MacDougall is the first assistant professor in the history of the School to have received it. This is also the second year in a row he has received the award.
