An active membership in the Alberta Pharmacy Students’ Association is voluntary but highly encouraged for pharmacy students at the University of Alberta. A membership offers countless benefits and perks towards improving student quality of life, including:

  • Membership in CAPSI (Canadian Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns) and IPSF (International Pharmacy Students’ Federation)
  • Ability to attend APSA and CAPSI events (eg, Professional Development Week), Movember Fundraiser (RxFactor) and Blue and Gold
  • Membership card deals including discounts at various business places in Edmonton (ie. The Pint, Thrift Shop, Sherlock Holmes, Beercade, Menchies and The Chopped Leaf)*
  • Free intramural sports participation

and many other benefits listed on our Member Services and Events pages! In addition, an APSA membership is required in order to be elected or appointed to any council or officer position. 

Many members agree that the cost of an APSA membership pays itself off quickly, and each pharmacy class consistently has over 93% (or even 100%) membership in our association.

The one-time membership fee of $250 will cover your four years in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy program, or PharmD program.
