A section on student organizations is being added to the FAQ. If you are involved with any of the following organizations and would like to help out by writing up a short (1 paragraph) description of your organization, it would be awesome. If there are chapters of other professional organizations at your school, please let me know and I will add them to the list. Here is what I have so far:

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) - added 🙂

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)

National Community Pharmacist's Association (NCPA)

Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP)

Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SnPhA) - added 🙂

Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (CPF)

International Pharmacy Students Fedaration (IPSF)

Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity (KY) - added 🙂

Kappa Epsilon Professional Pharmacy Fraternity (KE)

Lambda Kappa Sigma International Professional Pharmacy Fraternity (LKS)

Phi Delta Chi Professional Pharmacy Fraternity (PDC)

Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society (PLS)

The Rho Chi Society

Also, if there is interest, we can create a list of links to chapters at various schools.

The Student National Pharmaceutical Association is an organization of minority students enrolled at schools of pharmacy throughout the country. It is devoted to developing a positive image for minority health care professionals and promoting health awareness in the community. The organization goal is to increase recruitment and retention of minority students, to provide academic and social support to its members, and to provide services to the college and the surrounding community. SNPhA’s parent organization is the National Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA), composed of licensed pharmacy practitioners.

Awesome. I will add that to the section.

I have someone writing the Kappa Psi section now. And, we just added AZO.

You might also want to add ACCP, American College of Clinical Pharmacy. I think ASHP accredits pharmacy residency while ACCP accredits Pharmacy fellowships.

Does ACCP have student chapters at any schools or do they offer individual membership only?

Do you have anybody to write the Kappa Epsilon section? I could do that if you need it.

ACCP doesn't accredit anything. They offer guidelines on fellowships.

ACCP offers guidelines. They do not accredit fellowships.

ACCP also offers student membership

I'm a little surprised APhA only has 50,000 members...

Not yet. If you'd like to write it, that'd be great. 🙂

So is anyone writing about ACCP? I've been a student member for 2 years and I'd be happy to do it, if no one has volunteered.
