On March 29, more than 50 student pharmacists gathered at APhA 2015 in San Diego for IPhO's 2nd Annual National Student Event, entitled "Industry Careers: Building a Health Future for Student Pharmacists," hosted by the IPhO National Student Leadership Group. In addition to providing information for students to prepare themselves for an industry career/fellowship, the presentation highlighted the work of the National Student Chapter Network (now at 16 approved chapters!) as well as an overview of the IPhO National Fellows Council.

The agenda included:

    Student Chapter Network Update - Alex Wei (RU 2015), IPhO National Student President, incoming Alnylam Pharmaceuticals/Northeastern Fellow
    The "Perfect" Fellowship Candidate - Matthew Schmidt (Northeastern 2015), Northeastern Chapter founder, incoming Genentech/Rutgers Fellow
    IPhO National Fellows Council Overview - Joseph Fiore, PharmD, current Merck/Rutgers Fellow
    IPhO Student Services, Benefits, and Opportunities - Jim Alexander, PharmD, IPhO Executive Director and Founder

We would like to thank all of the IPhO student leaders and attendees across the country who helped in making this event another success!
