PPSA:

The Professional Pharmacy Student Alliance (PPSA) is unique to Idaho State. PPSA is the umbrella organization for ISU College of Pharmacy student pharmacists.  Our student pharmacist alliance combines the events, projects and benefits of pharmacy's associations from two great states:  Alaska and Idaho.  The Idaho State Pharmacy Association (ISPA) is served by our Meridian campus; the Idaho Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ISHP) is served by our Pocatello campus; and Alaska Pharmacists Association (AKPhA) is served by our Anchorage campus.  In addition to these associations, PPSA represents the national American Pharmacist Association Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) in the 7th Chapter.  PPSA meets once per month; all student pharmacists are welcome.  Membership for APhA-ASP is paid by the College of Pharmacy; student pharmacists pay their own dues for PPSA, which is required of all student pharmacists. Details will be provided after the fall semester begins.
