At APhA's Annual Meeting & Exposition in March, student pharmacists across the nation gathered virtually to engage in a weekend of sessions focused on leadership, advocacy, unconscious bias, networking, and more. Throughout the meeting, many student pharmacists shared inspiring stories of how their chapters have adapted to overcome the unique challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Congratulations to all the APhA–ASP chapters and individuals who were recognized for their achievements throughout the 2021 APhA–ASP Awards Celebration Week!

As aspiring health professionals, it is important for student pharmacists to remain informed about the nuance and complexity of the overall health care system from the perspectives of all stakeholders as we advocate for patients and the profession.
