The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is a professional and scientific organization of members and leaders from academia, industry, government, and other research institutes worldwide, who are dedicated to pharmaceutical research, manufacturing, regulations, and patient care. AAPS-ACPHS Student Chapter serves all ACPHS students and the regional community, by cultivating interest in the pharmaceutical sciences and hosting fun activities to encourage student participation in research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and servant-leadership. As an inclusive and dynamic community, we were awarded as the Best Student Chapter of the Year in 2017 and 2018, among more than a hundred APPS Chapters worldwide.

ACPHS Medicinal Garden was created through generous and passionate support from the Class of 1969, the last class that required the course of Pharmacognosy. They envisioned a medicinal garden for our Campus Master Plan 2021 would be a prominent focal point to celebrate ACPHS’ 140th anniversary. The Garden was completed and open on time, even during the pandemic, on October 2, 2021. It became a “living” gift to promote an understanding of botanicals in the medical professions. The garden was envisioned as a hub for learners, educators, researchers, clinicians, and anyone from the local community as an outdoor space of relaxation, gathering, education, and community outreach. This project also inspired faculty, students, and staff to organize Medicinal Garden Interest Group (MedGIG).

Medicinal Garden Interest Group (MedGIG) is a volunteer group to keep the garden growing, and host recreational gatherings and events of education and community outreach. Currently, MedGIG is coordinated by AAPS-ACPHS Student Chapter, as a group of students, faculty, alumni, college administrations, and the local community. The group is led by a student curator with student researchers and educators, advised by a faculty curator, and cooperates with an administrator curator.

Our student chapter's mission is to promote early student involvement in the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) as a national organization. Student membership in ACCP is the ideal venue for career development for students considering post-doctoral training (e.g. residency and fellowship), academic faculty positions and independent research careers. We believe that student involvement in ACCP is vital in order to have experience in direct patient care in order to prepare our students for a career as a pharmacist. This past year, our student chapter had a total of 304 different students attend our events which included multiple patient health screenings and educational events. As a student chapter, we offer multiple opportunities for student involvement in direct and clinically focused patient care projects including our Cardiovascular and Renal (CaRE) screenings, Script Your Future (SYF) project, CaRE for KIDneys project, Clinical Pharmacy Challenges and the Epilepsy project. All of these direct patient care projects allow members ample opportunities to interact with patients from different age groups and various cultural, socioeconomic, and academic backgrounds.

AMCP is a national professional society of pharmacists, health care practitioners and others who develop and provide clinical, educational, and business management services. The society is dedicated to the concept and practice of pharmaceutical care in managed health care environments. The student chapter of AMCP enables members to experience managed care pharmacy policies, practices and concerns through direct contact with AMCP members. Our mission is to empower its members to serve society by using sound medication management principles and strategies to improve health care for all. Managed care pharmacy principles are based upon the use of scientific evidence to achieve healthy outcomes, while making the best use of money spent on medications and their management. In the purest sense, all people working in healthcare can be thought of as 'managing care.' Every day, the importance of managed care pharmacy is increasing, even more now that healthcare reform is taking place. Our student chapter seeks to enhance the professionalism of pharmacy students and prepare us for the many different career opportunities available to pharmacists. Throughout the course of the year there are countless learning and networking opportunities such as health screenings, the P&T competition, national conferences, career panels, and many others.

AMSA fosters a community of future physicians through education and advocacy.

The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), with a half-century history of medical student activism, is the oldest and largest independent association of physicians-in-training in the United States. AMSA members are medical students, premedical students, interns, residents and practicing physicians. Founded in 1950, AMSA continues its commitment to improving medical training and the nation’s health.

How is AMSA different from other organizations? When you join AMSA, you become part of a vital force of future physicians who believe that patients and health professionals are partners in the management of health care and that access to high-quality health care is a right and not a privilege. At AMSA, activism is a way of life. Student idealism is transformed into meaningful public service, innovation and institutional change.

AMSA is about more than just improving medical student lives. We live in the richest country in the world, yet many have no health insurance. Research shows that health disparities are rampant in America. AMSA’s role in these issues is extremely important, because our strength is giving power to medical students to take action and create change about issues that they care about. It’s the presence of visionary medical students and our energy that makes AMSA such a powerful organization.
