Chapter Information
Lead by chapter advisor Dr. Paul Myrdal, the University of Arizona
AAPS Student Chapter been busy, and they don’t plan to slow down any
time soon. Dr.Myrdal explained, "After discovering that general
knowledge of pharmaceutical science graduate programs outside the
College of Pharmacy is virtually non-existent, the student chapter
spearheaded a collective effort to increase awareness of their
favorite field." The main idea was to get the word out to
undergraduates in hopes of providing them with another option that
they may not have considered for graduate studies and, more
importantly, a rewarding career.
