Student Testimonial:

The summer internship has been an amazing experience, opening my eyes to dimensions of what pharmacists can do at the association level as well as the possibilities of creating new solutions to healthcare questions. The word team took on a whole new meaning as I partook in meetings that consisted of respected individuals from various associations collaborating together between various medicinal fields. Inspiration, creativity, drive, and determination made up everyday of the internship experience. I cannot highlight enough to a student that if ever the chance arises to participate in this type of capacity to take it, because you never know what incredible possibilities await you. Go capture your dreams!
