REGISTRATIONS for the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA) and the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) Student Symposium 2019 are now open.
The date is set for Fri 12 Jul in Melbourne, the SHPA-NAPSA Student Symposium 2019 is an event designed for all pharmacy students aspiring to enter the "dynamic and challenging hospital setting".
NAPSA President, Jess Hsiao, said the one-day event, which is free to SHPA student members, "builds on last year's successful inaugural event, to give leading students and interns considering a career in hospital pharmacy an edge.
"The SHPA-NAPSA Student Symposium will examine three main topics: What is hospital pharmacy? How do I get a job as a hospital intern/pharmacist? and Now I'm a hospital pharmacist, what happens next?"
SHPA Chief Executive, Kristin Michaels, said the Student Symposium was a unique opportunity for pharmacy students to start considering stepping stones as they plan an impactful career contributing to improved health outcomes for Australian patients.
"This is a great opportunity to examine all employment pathways into the complex and rewarding hospital pharmacy environment, and we are excited to energise our student members as they explore what their hospital pharmacy career could look like," she said.
Michaels stressed the "crucial" value of the ongoing alliance between SHPA and NAPSA.
