LAST week's 2020 Student Symposium conducted jointly by the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA) and the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) has been hailed as a major success, with a record number of delegates able to access the new online format.
The third annual event concluded on Fri, for the first time conducted as an all-virtual event with a lead-in week of self-paced learning followed by interactive webinar presentations.
"As the coming together of two national organisations serving the next generation of leading pharmacists, the SHPA-NAPSA Student Symposium is a truly Australia-wide event and we are pleased to reach a new level of intimacy and inclusion this year amid challenging circumstances," said SHPA CEO Kristin Michaels.
"Powerfully positive feedback to our online resources and another increase in attendees shows our focus on truly understanding hospital pharmacy and landing that key first hospital job continues to resonate with students across the country," Michaels (pictured) said.
During the Student Symposium Michaels also announced a new 50% discount for all SHPA Student Members to access the new Electronic Medicines Information Training (EMIT) modules, which are the latest addition to SHPA's Online CPD offering.
The 22 EMIT modules are particularly suited to pre-registration and early career pharmacists "who want to get ahead through up-to-date, curated education on seeking and providing trustworthy medicines information," she said.
