The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) and the National Australian Pharmacy Students’ Association (NAPSA) have renewed their longstanding partnership to enhance support for pharmacy students at 18 universities across Australia.
The renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ensures that students are supported throughout their studies and professional development.
“PSA has a long and proud history of supporting pharmacy students, who make up a vital part of our profession and PSA’s membership,” says PSA National President Dr Fei Sim FPS.
“Through our partnership with NAPSA, we are giving pharmacy students around Australia the opportunity to engage with the broader profession, having their voices heard on the issues that affect them and their futures.
“We are proud to continue to support the vital role of NAPSA and pharmacy students.”
Providing students with the best opportunities
NAPSA President Bano Serhan says that through the renewed agreement students will continue getting the best opportunities to engage with the pharmacy industry.
“NAPSA’s members are best served by our close relationships with industry organisations, and with the keen interest of the new Board in policy and advocacy, I am looking forward to the year ahead working closely with the PSA,” says Ms Serhan.
“Pharmacy students know they have NAPSA and PSA in their corner, and this renewed agreement will continue that tradition.
“Supporting future pharmacists will cement our industry as the leading primary healthcare service in Australia.”
