For Current Pharmacy Students

GPhA membership offers the chance for pharmacy students at any point in their education to get connected with the most influential pharmacists in Georgia. Students learn how to network, search for jobs, find their preferred practice area, and advocate for the practice of pharmacy each year at the state Capitol.

The biggest value GPhA brings you is our advocacy in the state legislature and with state regulators. Passing a single pro-pharmacy/pro-patient bill — or defeating a misguided bill or regulation — can mean thousands of dollars difference to pharmacies.
