Other Members; Not just student members! – CAPSI encourages non-student membership within the organization. Our members of today are the pharmacists of tomorrow. Therefore we encourage involvement of those already active in various aspects of the profession. We also encourage the active involvement of our student counterparts from other countries through the associate student membership.
Other membership options:
- Associate Student Member: Any undergraduate student of a foreign school of pharmacy or registered pharmacy intern in a foreign country.
- Pharmacist Member: Any individual registered as a pharmacist with their provincial licensing body.
- Supporting Member: Any individual having an interest in the association’s activities and initiatives, but does not qualify for the general student, associate student, or pharmacist membership.
- Corporate members: CAPSI also offers corporate memberships through our CAPSI Club, with recently enhanced membership benefits.
