McWhorter School of Pharmacy professor Michael Hogue has been elected as a Distinguished Practitioner and Fellow in the National Academies of Practice in the Pharmacy Academy.

Dr. Hogue will be presented a National Academies of Practice medallion and certificate at the NAP New Member Banquet March 24, 2012 in Arlington, Virginia.

The National Academies of Practice is composed of 10 academies representing health care practices in the areas of dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, psychology, social work, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy.

“It is an honor to be named by the National Academies as a Fellow and Distinguished Practitioner.  I am humbled that my peers would nominate me for this recognition,” said Hogue.   “In reality, I have done nothing individually that is particularly special or outstanding – it is the team of people with whom I have worked for many years at Samford University and the Jefferson County Department of Health that have done some amazing things.”

Hogue is the Department of Pharmacy Practice Chair, as well as an Associate Professor for the McWhorter School of Pharmacy.

 “It is a special thing to work with a group of people who are always striving to achieve the very best in healthcare outcomes while educating the next generation of pharmacists,” adds Hogue.  “This award really belongs to the team.”
