AAPP Connect: A Mentoring Opportunity

Students have an opportunity to be paired with a pharmacist member for a one-on-one mentoring opportunity throughout AAPP 2025. Pairing of the mentor to the mentee will be based on the preferences and specialty interests of the member and student as identified during the online registration process. Once paired, mentors and mentees will set up a time to meet during AAPP 2025 to answer questions and discuss future plans.

Students should indicate their intent to participate in AAPP Connect when they register for AAPP 2025.
