APhA Policy Process

The APhA-ASP Policy Process is a structured approach enabling student pharmacists to propose, discuss, and implement ideas that impact the profession. It begins with an idea from a member, followed by discussions in chapters, voting at the Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM), and culminates at the APhA Annual Meeting. Through various steps, including proposals, debates, and recommendations, members play a pivotal role in shaping pharmacy policies. By participating, every member can influence the future of pharmacy and advocate for meaningful change.
