Some of my favorite memories during my time as a student pharmacist include attending extracurricular activities hosted by our professional student organizations.

It can be hard to juggle APPEs, life, and job-hunting in your final year of pharmacy school. For me, it felt like I was in a pressure cooker for about a year. There is so much pressure, both internally and externally, to do well in APPEs, network with pharmacists, and find time to figure out your career.

In early February, I had the opportunity to travel to Pierre, SD, for our chapter’s annual Legislative Days. It was such an exciting opportunity for me to learn more about the policy process, use my patient care skills, and form stronger connections with peers and faculty.
