Latiolais Award Recipients

About the Clifton J. Latiolais Award

In 1985, about 25 years after Clifton J. Latiolais began training graduate students and residents at The Ohio State University, his former students bestowed an honor upon him by creating the Latiolais Award to recognize excellence for con­tributions made to hospital pharmacy. The Latiolais Award is presented annually at the MS HSPAL alumni event held each year at the Midyear Clinical Meeting for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and has been presented to the nation’s finest leaders in health-system pharmacy practice.
