Hi Everyone,
 

The American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) is proud to be the largest student organization at the College of Pharmacy. At the College of Pharmacy, APhA-ASP plays a key role in helping students navigate through pharmacy school, advocate policy related to pharmacy practice, explore careers in pharmacy, and connect with student pharmacists and pharmacists nationwide.  Members are able to network locally with the Georgia Pharmacy Association as well as nationally with the American Pharmacists Association. Our members experience a variety of benefits including professional development resources, career guidance, networking opportunities, leadership development, and study resources for national board exams. Our APhA-ASP chapter organizes several health fairs and patient care events throughout the year and sends members to local, state, and national conferences. Our mission is to be the “collective voice of student pharmacists, to provide opportunities for professional growth, and to envision and actively promote the future of pharmacy.”  

 

APhA-ASP chapters from each of the schools nationwide in total represents over 36,000 student pharmacists.  On an even larger scale, APhA-ASP is one of the three academies of The American Pharmacists Association, which is the largest pharmacy association in the country, representing over 60,000 members across all areas of pharmacy practice. By joining APhA-ASP, members are taking the first step in becoming actively involved with an organization that will represent them throughout their entire pharmacy career, whether it is retail, hospital, industry, or any other specialty in pharmacy. We look forward to a superior year in bettering ourselves as student pharmacists, serving our future patients through providing the highest quality of care, and laying a strong foundation for our future in pharmacy.

 

Best,
Aliya Abdulla
