About APhA-ASP

What is APhA?

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) is the only organization advancing the entire pharmacy profession, supporting practicing pharmacists, pharmaceutical researchers, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians across all settings to better optimize medication use and patient health outcomes. The Academy of Student Pharmacists (ASP)—of which more than 140 chapters across the country call home—is just one of three Academies within the association and represents more than 30,000 student pharmacists.

The other two Academies within APhA are the Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APPM)—which serves practicing pharmacists who directly oversee or conduct patient care—and the Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science (APRS)—which serves members whose primary focus is conducting or managing pharmaceutical research and science. When professors and faculty at UGA say that they're members in APhA, they mean that they belong to one of these two Academies, not APhA-ASP!

At UGA

Our APhA-ASP Chapter is proud to be the largest student organization at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy. Here at the college, we play a key role in helping students navigate pharmacy school, advocate for policies that improve pharmacy practice and patient care, explore careers throughout all sectors of pharmacy, and connect with other student pharmacists and pharmacists nationwide. 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 mission is "to be the collective voice of student pharmacists, to provide opportunities for professional growth, to improve patient care, and to envision and advance the future of pharmacy".

Patient Care. Professional Development. Advocacy.
