I made the decision to join APhA last year. So far, it seems like my chapter just holds meetings and has events like "diabetes awareness" and etc, basically community healthcare type stuff. Not really my cup of tea, but that's besides the point. Anyways, I was stupid enough to give them an email that I actually use, and if you're like me, I'm sure you've been bombarded with the seemingly endless emails to register for APhA national convention in March. I've been thinking about going regardless of whether my friends go or not, but after thinking about it, I'm not exactly sure what I'll get out of it.
As a student, it seems like the only things to do will be:
-Countless CE's regarding everything, and subsequently lots of smart people talking about stupid/important stuff
-On the student side, voting for officer positions, residency presentations, and lots of touchy-feely patient care event stuff
-crunkfest2k7...i mean, "networking" with other students and checking out Atlanta
Am I right on this? Can anyone who's gone to one of these events comment? Will I have all kinds of fun and learn wonderful things? Will I end up hating everyone because they're all ridiculous gunners? Your thoughts as a student or RPh...
