AWARD CATEGORIES
Through an independent expert committee, the HOPE Awards recognize individuals or teams who have made significant contribution to oncology in any one of these three areas of practice:

The HOPE Teaching & Education Award recognizes a pharmacist(s) who has demonstrated leadership and commitment to furthering and enhancing Teaching & Education in oncology for HCPs, pharmacy learners or patients. The successful recipient(s) has demonstrated advancements and innovations that:
- Improved HCP knowledge about oncology therapeutics
- Improved patient care and knowledge about treatment and disease management
- Instilled confidence in HCPs, students, patients and caregivers about oncology therapeutics
The successful recipient(s) stands out for excellence, innovative spirit and commitment to furthering education. There must be measurable feedback to corroborate excellence in teaching. For example, a pre- and post-test to show the increase in knowledge based on the teaching initiative.

- By creating or supporting innovative inter-professional programs to improve patient safety
The successful recipient(s) stands out for excellence, collaborative approaches, and commitment to improved patient care and has measurable results to corroborate such. As an example, measurable impact could include details of the normal operating procedures in the past compared to procedures after the initiative, with data to show program success, or if too early, details to highlight changes and what it would mean long term.
