American Pharmacists Association – Academy of Students of Pharmacy (APhA-ASP)
The mission of the American Pharmacists Association is to provide information, education, and advocacy to help all pharmacists improve medication use and advance patient care. APhA is one of the largest pharmacy organizations; APhA is composed of more than 50,000 members including practicing pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, student pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and others interested in advancing the profession. Our LECOM chapter focuses on community involvement and education through the four operations: Operation Diabetes, Operation Heart, Operation Immunization, and Generation RX. Students that are interested in developing their leadership potential are able to partake in the Leadership Training Series (LTS) exclusively for APhA-ASP members. The APhA-ASP LTS is a four-part series that will be offered over four years of student pharmacist’s education. Upon completion of the series, participants will receive an APhA-ASP LTS Recognition of Participation, signed by the APhA Executive Vice President and the APhA-ASP National President. This is an excellent CV or resume builder. Active members are eligible for numerous awards, grants, discounts, and scholarships.
