No matter what area of pharmacy you are interested in, APhA represents you.
Come to the next TT-ASP chapter meeting and become active in your own professional development.

Why do you need to join TT-ASP?

Why... because you are student pharmacists and this is your student academy. The American Pharmacists Association is the oldest and largest professional pharmacy organization in the country and it represents every area of pharmacy practice. Furthermore, the Academy of Student Pharmacists is APhA's largest academy, meaning that as students we have an incredible opportunity to help shape the future of the pharmacy profession through APhA.

Being affiliated and active with at least one professional pharmacy organization will be an important part of your professional development from now on. By joining the Texas Tech Academy of Student Pharmacists (TT-ASP) you become a member of two professional pharmacy organizations, the American Pharmacists Association and the Texas Pharmacy Association.

We encourage you to join other professional organizations as your interests in specific areas of pharmacy practice become more clear in the coming years... but all of you should be members of APhA.

Does it cost a lot of money?

Dues are paid each year in the fall of your P1-P3 year and are paid again in the spring before your P4 year (P4 dues are paid early so that they can be enrolled in $1M liability coverage prior to 4th year clerkships). The dues are $68 per year and that covers 12 months of membership from November 1 thru October 31 and gets you all of the benefits listed below. For many students the discounts received on pharmacy textbooks and references purchased through a TT-ASP chapter book sale or pharmacist.com actually pays for membership. For P4 members, liability insurance and the NAPLEX review book mailed in January more than covers the expense of membership.
