PROGRAM
PHARMACY SECTION –
STUDENT PHARMACIST ATTENDEES
Due to the
overwhelming response from student pharmacists that wish to attend the program,
and the limited space available in the lecture venue,
APhA Staff
and the Advisory Council have asked the Utah School to equitably divide the
registration spaces for student pharmacist registrations
received by
April 1, 2008. The distribution has been set so that every school or college of
pharmacy has an opportunity to have a representative.
After April
1, 2008, the remaining spaces will be equally distributed to other students per
school or college of pharmacy and registration will be
closed when
all spaces are filled.
PHARMACY
SECTION – STUDENT PHARMACIST TO FACULTY RATIO (15:1)
Mentoring
and counseling have become increasingly important over the past few years at the
Utah School. Therefore, the Advisory Committee
requires
that if a school or college of pharmacy will be sending 15 or more students, one
faculty member or member of student support services be
sent for
each group of 15 student pharmacists.
PHARMACY
SECTION – ON-CAMPUS DORMITORY HOUSING
All Pharmacy
Section attendees are highly encouraged to stay “on campus” and utilize housing
at Sage Point or the University Guest House for
convenience
(closer to where nightly meetings are held) and camaraderie (group support &
networking).
PHARMACY
SECTION – STUDENT AMBASSADORS
Student
Pharmacists who have previously attended the Utah School and would like to be
considered to serve as Student Ambassadors for new
attendees,
please email Keith Marciniak (kmarciniak@aphanet.org ) by March 1, 2008.
PHARMACY
SECTION – TUITION ASSISTANCE
The APhA Addiction
Practitioner Interest Group (APhA PInG) has created a scholarship program for
student pharmacists who need financial
assistance with
