Academy of Student Pharmacists (ASP)

ASP, Academy of Student Pharmacists. is the student branch of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). The APhA is the umbrella organization that represents the entire pharmacy profession on state, regional, and national level. Student Pharmacists are given a strong and distinct voice through ASP to promote our positions on many issues important to our profession. There are many opportunities to serve on committees and interact with other students of pharmacy at regional and national meetings. Our chapter had the distinct honor of hosting the 1996 Midyear Regional Meeting in Raleigh. This brought regional as well as national attention to Campbell University. ASP also has a close relationship with the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists (NCAP). Locally, the chapter sponsors a Wellness Fair on campus each spring, and offers programs such as patient care projects to foster professional development for pharmacy students as well as health awareness on campus and the surrounding communities.
