Founded in 1999, the Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) is the oldest IPSF (International Pharmaceutical Student Federation) regional office. The 1st APPS was held in Singapore in 2001. APRO is made up of diverse cultures, languages, and pharmaceutical societies within the Asia-Pacific region; 17 countries, 23 associations, approximately 55,000 members and more than 8 different languages are used in this regional office. This passing week there was a teleconference between UP pharmacy students and assistant dean of Faculty of Pharmacy with the people in charge from IPSF APRO to discuss how to prepare UP pharmacy students to be part of IPSF APRO. As part of this organization, UP pharmacy students will widen their opportunities for exchanges and scholarships.
