Corry Johnston, PharmD, BCPS, BCNSP, CNSC, was recently awarded the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) New Practitioner Award on behalf of the Pharmacy Practice Section at Clinical Nutrition Week in Long Beach, California on February 15, 2015. She received the award for her research project titled “Nutrition Support Service-Guided Intravenous Potassium Therapy for Hypokalemic Critically Ill Trauma Patients” that was presented at the Pharmacy Practice Section Community Forum. Corry is a 2011 graduate of the UT College of Pharmacy and completed her PGY1 residency at the VAMC Memphis and her PGY2 residency in Critical Care/Nutrition Support with the UT College of Pharmacy. This award recognizes achievements of a new practitioner pharmacist or student pharmacist member of ASPEN who is involved in research to further the science and practice of nutrition support. This is the fourth time in the past five years that a UTCOP trainee has received this award. When interviewed about her receipt of the New Pharmacy Practitioner Award, Dr. Johnston replied, “I was honored to be chosen as the recipient of the award this year. I would not be here without the support of my friends and family and the incredibly talented faculty and clinical pharmacists at UT who gave me the opportunity to learn from them and mentored me along the way.”
