Umbrella Organizations

I was just wondering if anyone had a list or could point me in the right direction to compiling a list of all pharmacy schools with umbrella organizations.

Or perhaps since we are all about knowing what is going on in other schools... If you could just post whether you know a school has this system or not.


If any of mine are wrong just let me know!

UW Seattle has an umbrella organization called UPPOW - United Pharmacy Providers of Washington. I was told once that WSU in Pullman has one too, but under a different name.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is an umbrella organization when it comes to pharmacy?

Thanks!

An umbrella organization is one that provides membership in more than one organization. For example when students at UW join our umbrella organization, they are joining APhA-ASP, ASHP, NCPA, and WSPA, 3 national and 1 state organization.

No umbrella at UF. We have to pay dues to each organization we choose to join.
