                                                                             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 registration. For more information, please visit the APhA-ASP Website (www.pharmacist.com/students) and click on “Meetings”.
 The application deadline is March 21, 2008.
