The Student Doctor Network is pleased to announce a partnership with the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA).

Founded in 1898, NCPA continues to be the leading voice in support of independent community pharmacists, especially for legislative change. In addition to supporting current pharmacy owners, NCPA also provides resources for pharmacy student members, including scholarships, lower interest student loans, internships, mentors, and career guides.

This new partnership will be especially beneficial to pharmacy students on SDN who are considering becoming an independent community pharmacist, will provide all SDN members with the opportunity to learn about the role of the community pharmacist, and will provide a vast resource and support network to NCPA student members.

“The partnership between NCPA and SDN will be beneficial to both parties, because we share the same objectives,” said John Stelmachowicz, NCPA Associate Director of Student Affairs. “Together we can reach a broader audience of current and future pharmacy students, and also foster the type of online information sharing and discussions that will enhance their knowledge and opportunities for growth.”
