May 21-24, 2009: Border to Border

While not an official UPPOW event, UPPOW supports the student pharmacists who participate in Border to Border, a 325-mile relay across Washington state. The event was established by former pharmacy student Patrick Gallagher in honor of his father, and funds raised go to support the American Cancer Society.

The Unified Professional Pharmacy Organizations of Washington was formed in 1998 as the UW School of Pharmacy’s own professional pharmacy student organization. UPPOW is directly affiliated with the following state, national, and international professional pharmacy associations:

APhA-ASP: American Pharmacists Association – Academy of Student Pharmacists

ASHP: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists

IPSF: International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation

NCPA: National Community Pharmacists’ Association

WSPA: Washington State Pharmacy Association

These organizations represent all areas of pharmacy practice and influence global, national, and state policies that concern our profession. By combining all of the above organizations into UPPOW, we strengthen our profession into a more powerful voice.

UPPOW is a student-run organization with the goal of preparing students for pharmacy practice. Joining professional organizations as students gets you involved at the beginning of your profession, and enables you to sample all aspects of pharmacy.
