The paper, "A National Survey of Perceptions Around Conditions Associated with Pharmacy Faculty Workload Equity" was recognized as the best paper published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education during the previous year. The paper assessed pharmacy faculty members’ perceptions of conditions associated with workload equity and identified factors that can improve it.
