. Navy selects Senior Pharmacist of the Year by LT Rick Haupt

SAN DIEGO (NWSA) -- The Navy's pharmacy community recently announced that LCDR Ted Briski is the Navy's "Senior Pharmacist of the Year" at an annual event in Atlanta promoting the Navy pharmacy community. Briski was nominated for performance of his duties while assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego from 1995 through 1997 as Assistant Chairman, Inpatient Division, Pharmacy Department.

"Lieutenant Commander Briski not only managed the largest inpatient pharmacy staff and budget in the Navy, but was directly involved in the clinical practice of pharmacy as well," said CDR Charles Hostettler, chairman of the board of senior pharmacists that reviewed nominations for the award. "He had our unanimous vote."

To win the award, he achieved significant leadership and management milestones that contributed directly to the high quality of health care at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

"I'm very honored to have won this award," Briski said. "Without the dedication of the entire pharmacy staff, this never would have happened. Although my job was a challenge, the people I worked with on a daily basis made my duties there enjoyable and rewarding."

Briski, a native of Milwaukee, Wis., currently holds the position of Ancillary Services Consultant at the Office of the Lead Agent, TRICARE Southern California.
