APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science (APhA-APRS)
The Scientific Voice of Pharmacy
In addition to resources for practitioners, APhA also stimulates the
discovery, dissemination and application of research to improve patient
health and serves pharmacists and those members who are involved in the
pharmaceutical sciences.
Members of APhA may choose to belong to a primary section within
APhA-Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science (APhA-APRS) based on
their area of research. Members may belong to as many sections within
APhA-APRS as they wish. APhA-APRS is governed by an Executive Council
comprised of elected leaders from the three Sections of APhA-APRS: Basic
Sciences, Clinical
Sciences and Economic,
Social and Administrative Sciences.
Members receive access to continuing education, an online community
for pharmacists, networking and leadership opportunities, premier
research journals such as JAPhA and JPharmSci, cutting
edge information on Medication Therapy Management, and regulatory issues
facing the profession.
