RUPSA - Rhodes University Pharmacy Students Association

​

Mandate

 

The Rhodes University Faculty of Pharmacy is dedicated to achieving excellence in an environment of interdisciplinary co-operation, and mutual respect, consistent with the mission of the University and with the mission of the profession of Pharmacy.

​

Community engagement is one of the key focus areas in the Faculty of Pharmacy. Academic members of staff in the faculty contribute to policy decision-making in provincial and national arenas involving the use, management, and distribution of medicine and the training of health professionals. The Rhodes University Pharmacy Students Association (RUPSA) is a society established under the auspices of the Rhodes University SRC.

​

Our mission as the Pharmacy Students Association at Rhodes University is to provide a platform for Rhodes University Pharmacy Students to:

​

• Interact with one another on a social and professional level

• Interact with the public (their future clients) and, in so doing, gain the necessary people skills they will need to use in pharmacy practice upon graduation.

• Interact with Pharmacy Students from other pharmacy schools in South Africa by our affiliation to SAPSF and to IPSF (International Pharmacy Students’ Federation).
