Ready to join the largest student organization at the College of Pharmacy? Join APhA-ASP today by visiting pharmacist.com; returning members should log in to renew their membership, and new members should register a new account with APhA to start the membership process. While the enrollment process is straightforward, complete instructions are available below for your convenience and reference. If you have any questions about joining, please reach out to our VP of Membership.
Membership dues, which include national and local fees, are $49 annually. For the cost of just one tank of gas, you'll gain access to over 20 unique membership benefits. And, with free food at meetings, compensation for conference travel, scholarship opportunities, discounts on everyday purchases through APhA Perks, discounted merchandise and tickets to Pharmal, and cash prizes for competitions like the National Patient Counseling Competition, your membership will pay for itself!
Not convinced? Reach out to our current President, Bryan Gomez, to hear how he has gotten over $1,000 in free hotels and travel this year from APhA at the national level—and that's before including any benefits from our local chapter!
Please note that we are APhA (the American Pharmacists Association), not APHA (the American Public Health Association); our association's website is pharmacist.com, not apha.org. Ensure that you are on the correct association's website prior to paying membership dues, as we are unable to recover dues accidentally paid to APHA.
