Why should I become a CAPSI member?

- To learn more about the profession of pharmacy through symposiums, educational programs, networking opportunities, and local and national competitions
- CAPSI is the only national association for pharmacy students in Canada and represents an important voice for the concerns of students
- CAPSI represents the interests of pharmacy students to both national and provincial organizations as well as numerous other organized bodies:

  • Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA)
  • Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP)
  • Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada (AFPC)
  • International Pharmaceutical Student¡¦s Federation (IPSF)
  • PhUS (Pharmacy Undergraduate Society)

Why join CAPSI over other student advocacy groups?

  • ONLY by being a CAPSI member can you get IPSF membership, which allows you to apply for pharmacy exchanges to many countries worldwide!

  • Discount for members when registering for PDW (Professional Development Week Conference) for a chance to network with other Canadian pharmacy students and representatives from pharmaceutical companies, organizations, etc.
    o   PDW 2010 is held in Toronto from January 13 to 16.
    o   The discount itself will almost even out CAPSI membership fee!

  • The VOLUNTARY UBC Pharmacy student association with the MOST members! (Not that bigger is better, but...gives you a hint as to what the people like.)

  • Want practice what you¡¦ve learned and beat your friend at a friendly little competition? Well, CAPSI competitions provide opportunities for just that. We¡¦ll throw in some prizes too!
