IPhO is the organization whose pharmacist members are universally recognized within the pharmaceutical industry as being the most professionally equipped to contribute to the development, commercialization, promotion, and optimal use of medicines.
You didn't have to look far at the recent IPhO National Student Meeting to find a maroon wristband, promoting the #valueofindustrypharmacists to all 400 student pharmacists in attendance.
The wristbands were worn by students with pride throughout the meeting, but they were more than just a gift for attendees.
On Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th, IPhO and its National Fellows Council hosted the first-ever stand-alone National Student Meeting in New Jersey. 375 students from 78 universities; 50 speakers; and 20 sponsors attended the meeting, and we are so grateful to everyone who traveled from near and far to attend.

On Friday evening, Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) graciously hosted the meeting reception in The Mansion in the heart of its campus. Jim Alexander, PharmD, Executive Director and Founder of IPhO, shared opening remarks, followed by a special welcome from Michael Avaltroni, PhD, Dean of FDU School of Pharmacy. The keynote speaker for the reception was Rob Kowalski, PharmD, Executive Vice President, Head of Regulatory Affairs, Novartis; US Head of Global Drug Development. Dr. Kowalski spoke about the value that pharmacists bring to industry and the tremendous amount of career opportunities available to pharmacists within the pharmaceutical industry. The evening brought together students from across the country to network, learn from leaders in industry, and relax before the meeting on Saturday.
