Through NYCSHP, I have met many truly amazing and empowering pharmacists and this inspired me to want to do so much more for the profession. I have gained a lot of valuable advice and guidance and am truly grateful to be a part of NYCSHP!

The most memorable moment for me as a pharmacy student is being on APPE rotations and interacting with clinical pharmacists as they make recommendations to the team. It’s amazing what pharmacists can do for patients!
