Philip J. Schneider, M.S., FASHP, clinical professor and director of the Latiolais Leadership Program at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, has been named the recipient of ASHP's 2008 Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award.

Schneider's current teaching and research are focused on improving the medication use process and improving medication use safety. He developed a nationally recognized program for the reporting and analysis of adverse drug events that led to improvements in the medication use process at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The severity scale developed as part of this program is widely used in the health care industry, including serving as the basis for the system used by the United States Pharmacopeia.

Schneider is a past president of ASHP and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.). He is also a widely-published author who has written more than 100 articles and abstracts in professional and scientific journals, ten book chapters, edited seven books. He is a sought-after speaker and has made numerous presentations to both domestic and international audiences.

Long active in the international arena, Mr. Schneider was the 2006 recipient of ASHP's Donald E. Francke Medal, which honors individuals who have made significant contributions to international pharmacy practice. He is past Secretary and newsletter editor of the Hospital Pharmacy Section of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), served as chair of the Congress Planning Committee, and was a member of the FIP Board of Pharmacy Practice and Executive Committee.

Mr. Schneider will receive the award on June 10 during ASHP's Summer Meeting in Seattle.
