IPSF Student Exchange Program

As the leading worldwide federation of student pharmacists, IPSF's goal is to advocate for student pharmacists and improve public health. IPSF hosts the Student Exchange Program (SEP) every summer, which is a mobility program within IPSF that gives students from all over the world a chance to experience what pharmacy means outside their own borders. Join us for an info session today, October 12th at 5pm EST to hear from and ask questions about IPSF and SEP. The application for Summer 2022 is due on November 1st, 2021.
