Student pharmacists should be encouraged to take an active role in
developing or changing policies that improve health care delivery.
Through political advocacy, students have the opportunity to influence
future directions of practice.
Rationale
Experience has shown that having the opportunity to act as change agents
in school gives students the confidence to continue these activities as
practitioners.

knowledge, pride in the profession, leadership
