Q: What are the benefits of being an APhA-ASP member?
A: APhA-ASP members receive many of the benefits that are available to APhA pharmacist members in addition to several benefits designed just for students.
Q: What type of professional liability insurance coverage does APhA offer?
A: One of the most important APhA-ASP membership benefits for students in their final year is FREE professional liability insurance. APhA will provide $1 million/$5 million dollar coverage at no cost to all graduates who are APhA-ASP members in their last year of pharmacy school and do not currently hold a license to practice pharmacy. No additional paperwork is necessary to qualify for the insurance, however, students must be members through their last year in pharmacy school to receive this benefit. For example, students graduating in 2009 must be members through October 31, 2009. All APhA-ASP members can purchase liability insurance policies at discounted rate. This policy
offers coverage for all pharmacy work experiences, including rotations through school, part-time pharmacy positions, and internships.
