Memorial University Pharmacy Society (MUPS)
last ratified: Winter 2024
Our group’s aim is to bring pharmacy students together while providing fun and unique opportunities which are both academic and non-academic. Memorial University Pharmacy Students (MUPS) and Canadian Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns (CAPSI) are both pharmacy student organizations which share many objectives:
To promote the educational and professional development of pharmacy students
To foster a sense of strength, foundation and unity among pharmacy students
To interact with other pharmacy organizations
To be a voice for pharmacy students.
MUPS and CAPSI work together to achieve these objectives.MUPS is active at the local level at the Memorial University School of Pharmacy. CAPSI is active at the national level, working to unify and represent all pharmacy students in Canada.
MUPS is proud to collaborate with CAPSI and supports CAPSI by having a Senior and Junior CAPSI representative on the MUPS Council. Not only do these positions represent our school nationally, they also carry out the many national activities that CAPSI initiates.
We improve student life by collaborating with multi-school groups like CAPSI and providing experiences that are built around our future careers, including job shadowing. We have also recently created new roles to work directly with the faculty so that students voice's are heard in any conversation regarding pharmacy. We have students who sit on the regulatory boards for our profession so that our students are kept well informed of any changes or new information.
