The Global Leadership Summit aims to cultivate growth and expansion for all leaders across the world.

Following my first year serving as a leader in the 2021–2022 South Dakota State University College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions APhA–ASP Chapter, I noticed the struggle of engaging our freshmen and sophomore members preparing for the PharmD program throughout the school year.

Patient counseling is arguably the most important skill pharmacists need to possess. I currently intern in the outpatient setting, where consulting patients on their new discharge medications is part of my daily routine, so I decided to enter the 2024 APhA–ASP National Patient Counseling Competition (NPCC) in order to assess my consultation skills and look for areas where I can improve.

The Union University College of Pharmacy (UUCOP) APhA–ASP Chapter had a successful and eventful 2022–2023 academic year with a wide variety of engaging activities and initiatives.
