Huynh receives the 2025 Sidney Phillips Memorial Scholarship

The Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacists Research & Education Foundation (TSHP R&E Foundation) is proud to announce the recipient of the 2025 Sidney Phillips Memorial Scholarship is Kevin Huynh.

The Sidney Phillips Memorial Scholarship was established in 2022 in honor of Sidney Phillips, who was a past President of the Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Dr. Phillips served in various leadership positions in TSHP since he was in pharmacy school and was a longtime member whose dedication to the Texas pharmacy profession was actively demonstrated to all who knew him. Dr. Phillips dedicated his career to health system leadership for small and large hospitals. He was also firm believer and supporter of advocacy on all levels.

Kevin Huynh is a 4th year PharmD candidate from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy. His pharmacy journey started as a technician at an independent retail pharmacy, Richmond Pharmacy, where he collaborated with attorneys and physicians to provide medications for patients who get into motor vehicle accidents. Currently he is an intern at Houston Methodist West, providing patient educations each week on top of his school and organizational involvements. Regarding organizational involvements, Kevin had the opportunity to serve as the President of the Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists (SSHP) from 2023-2024, providing opportunities for students to network and explore their professional interests just as this organization has done for him the past 4 years. Kevin aspires to pursue a career as a clinical pharmacist specializing in either Infectious Diseases or Ambulatory Care, balancing clinical responsibilities with opportunities to precept new pharmacy students. In his free time, he enjoys working out, playing video games, making EDM mixes, and going to concerts.

This honor was presented April 4 during the 2025 Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacy (TSHP) Annual Seminar at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas in Irving, TX.
