Get Involved in PPA!
Fifth and Sixth year pharmacy students, who are PPA
Members, are invited to participate as a student committee
monitor for one of PPA’s committees. This is your chance to
really begin your professional involvement!
What’s Involved? PPA Student
Members, in their 5th or 6th year, may sign up for one
committee which they would be interested in monitoring
during the course of the next year. As a monitor, they
would not be required to attend meetings, as this might be
difficult with class schedules. Instead, they would receive
meeting agendas and minutes by email. Students would be
encouraged to submit ideas and feedback both before and
after meetings.
Students would be more than welcome to attend any
committee meeting they could. Some committee meetings are
held in conjunction with PPA’s Annual and Mid-year meeting and
students who are already attending these meetings could
easily participate in the committee meetings which are held
at that time.
Committees are typically fully appointed in June for the
next fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). However, student
monitors will be added anytime during the fall.
PPA regrets that
we are unable to reimburse our students for your
expenses to be involved in committee meetings but hopes that
you will find value in the interaction with PPA members and
consider the time well spent. Since most of the business
will be conducted via email, there should be little expected
expense, except if you physically attend any meeting. PPA
volunteers find they receive rich personal and professional
satisfaction for their service.
The following is a
list of PPA’s Standing Committees and their
responsibilities.
