The ISPE was honoured to support the PharmaExchange workshop, organized by the ISPE SEGi Student Chapter. Held as part of their 2023/2024 tenure activities, this workshop aimed to foster student engagement while driving membership recruitment from the Faculty of Pharmacy at SEGi University.

ISPE representatives were impressed by the enthusiasm and thoughtful questions posed by participants. The interactive format fostered meaningful connections between students and professionals, aligning with ISPE’s commitment to supporting the growth and development of young talent in the industry.
