| NJPhA is holding our 156th Annual Meeting and Convention at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City on October 24th and 25th. On Saturday, October 24th, we will have a full day of programming for students. We have worked hard to develop a wonderful schedule of events, and we hope your students will join us! The student schedule is on the website. The morning session will consist of educational and networking opportunities, presentations on financial concerns for young pharmacists, a Q&A session with pharmacists is various practice areas, and a presentation by Rutgers Industry Fellows. During the lunch break, students are encouraged to present their research, via a poster session. This research will also be published in the next NJPhA Journal! This offers students a valuable opportunity to be published! After lunch the students will join the pharmacists to hear a wonderful keynote speaker, Nimit Jindal, Senior Health Policy Advisor, U.S. Senate- HELP Committee, and a panel on legislative issues in the pharmacy industry. The final event of the day is the Student Challenge: 2026 NASPA Student Pharmacist Self-Care Championship where teams from each of the schools of pharmacy compete for bragging rights and the champion’s title! I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Links with more detailed information and registration links are on our website. The cost for students to attend is $75 for NJPhA Members and $85 for Non-NJPhA members. The extra $10 grants the students a year of NJPhA Membership. Please forward this information to your students and encourage them to attend, present their research and compete! We encourage students to submit their poster application as soon as possible so we may print it in the program brochure for everyone to read! We are also soliciting input from students for the student Q&A session titled Pharmacy Unfiltered: Real Careers, Real Talk. We are doing our best to craft a day that is meaningful and impactful for the students. https://njpharmacists.org/ tlawson@njpharma.org |
