As much as I enjoyed virtual Midyear Regional Meetings (MRM) the past few years, there is nothing like networking in-person with like-minded student pharmacists from across your home region. So, the best part of MRM2022 for me was witnessing the regrowth of culture and spark in student members during the Region 8 weekend (October 21–23) in Albuquerque, NM.

The Region 5 APhA–ASP Midyear Regional Meeting in Minneapolis this year (November 4–6) can be boiled down to 3 words: connection, collaboration, and companionship. These themes followed each student pharmacist throughout the weekend and allowed for new relationships to blossom.

I left Florida on a breezy 7-hour drive to Birmingham, AL, brimming with excitement to reconnect with my fellow national standing committee members and network with student pharmacists from all over the southeast at the Region 3 Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM) the weekend of October 28 to October 30.

I joined APhA–ASP during my first year of pharmacy school but finally got to attend my first in-person Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM) the weekend of October 28–30, in Cincinnati. This was a valuable experience in learning more about the policy proposal process and other chapters’ resolutions focused on improving the pharmacy profession. Learning from the other students’ experiences and challenges fascinated me.

The Region 1 APhA–ASP Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM), held the weekend of October 28–30, was a wonderful opportunity to network with other student pharmacists and pharmacists. This was my fifth MRM, yet it’s always exciting to learn new things and make new friends!
