MEET THE JUDGES: The maiden edition of PMSSN National writing contest will be made up of three judges. The three-man panel of judges is comprised of Muslim Pharmacists from different areas of Pharmacy practice. Quite predictably and amazingly, all three judges are writers themselves, with track record of achievements. Each judge will independently grade all entries received. This will be followed by announcement of shortlist for each category, then winners.
Short biographies of each judge can be found below.
