Pfizer Australia Prize

The Pfizer Australia Prize is a prestigious award for Year 3 Doctor of Medicine students at The University of Queensland who demonstrate excellence in pharmacology and therapeutics. Established in 1941 and maintained by a fund originally created through gifts from Parke-Davis & Company (subsequently absorbed by Pfizer Australia), this prize recognizes outstanding critical analysis and understanding in the field of pharmacology and therapeutics. Applicants are required to submit a critical appraisal of published material in this field, demonstrating their ability to analyze benefits, concerns, and implications of current pharmacological research. The prize is awarded annually to one exceptional student who is not already a recipient of another prize in pharmacology and therapeutics, providing recognition and financial support of at least $800 for their academic excellence in this specialized medical field.
