Industry Pharmacists Organization
About
IPhO National Student Members are recognized as the best prepared among all student pharmacists to pursue pharmaceutical industry-
focused career opportunities. National Student Members have an excellent working knowledge of common industry pharmacist roles and
key pharmaceutical industry driving forces, as well as an understanding of the skills and experiences necessary to become a successful
industry pharmacist. The skills and knowledge is built through professional development events, national networking, competing in
competitions, internships, and service to communities.
IPhO believes that pharmacists' scientific training, medication expertise, clinical acumen, patient focus, and experience as healthcare
providers make us ideally suited for a career in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists are playing a key role in Development, Medical,
and Commercial organizations and are making valuable contributions to drug development and optimal medication utilization each and
every day. IPhO works with its members to advocate for advancing industry-based pharmacists to leadership positions by increasing
awareness and recognition among employers, senior management, colleagues, thought leaders, educators, and students of what
pharmacists have to offer. In addition to promoting pharmacists in pharmaceutical industry positions, the University of South Carolina
Chapter of IPhO hopes to work with undergraduate students and graduate students interested in pharmaceutical industry regardless of
major.
