APhA Experiential Program Application - APPE

The APhA Experiential Program in Association Management & Leadership is a 4- to 6-week rotation experience at the Headquarters of the American Pharmacists Association in Washington, D.C. The rotation serves as a final-year elective within a school or college of pharmacy's curriculum-based experiential program. Members of APhA staff will serve as preceptors throughout the rotation. Transportation, housing, and all other costs of living are the responsibility, financially and otherwise, of the student. Students must be members of APhA to be considered for this experience.

Our experiential program is designed to be a highly rewarding, unique, and individualized experience. Our diverse range of national programs and services allows us to offer opportunities tailored to the specific interests of each student pharmacist, and to provide a preceptor whose area of expertise can best help the student reach his or her educational goals. As a result of participation in the APhA Experiential Program in Association Management & Leadership, all students will:

Gain an understanding of the mission, goals and objectives, organizational structure, programs and services of the American Pharmacists Association.
Participate in appropriate staff and leadership meetings of the Association occurring during the experiential opportunity.
Identify and analyze high priority issues in pharmacy practice.
Develop skills in verbal and written communication, information gathering, evaluation, and analysis for use in specific organizational areas.

Virtual and in-person options are available for the APhA APPE.
