IRC International Pharmacy Forum
Step into the unknown:
What lies ahead as a pharmacist abroad?
Have you ever thought of how limited your career prospects are back home? Does the thrill of practising your passion in a foreign land keep you up at night? If you answered yes to either of those questions, I’m certain you’ve thought about what else you can do with your B.pharm overseas. The International Pharmacy Forum revealed to curious minds the hidden potential of overseas exposure, specifically in Australia and New Zealand.
“If there were one thing to take away, it is what to look forward to as a Pharmacist in each country.” -Hua Swen, International Relations Committee (IRC) Director
Revealing the Hidden Treasures: The Inaugural International Pharmacy Forum was an exquisite blend of knowledge, networking, and pure enjoyment. From the get-go, you'd have found yourself engrossed by
speakers from National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA), Auckland Pharmacy Students' Association (APSA) and NUS Pharmaceutical Society (NUSPS). The experts unravelled everything you need to know about pharmacist overseas career opportunities, the overseas registration process and student exchange programme. And guess what? You'd have realised that these countries aren't just exotic travel destinations; they're a goldmine of opportunities for future pharmacists.
The Benefit of Foresight: Overseas opportunities can be a complicated process and without a doubt, a whirlpool of uncertainty. But Imagine walking away from the event with a crystal-clear understanding of the pros and cons, weighed. AND what it takes to get there. You'd be one step ahead of your peers in your career planning, ready to seize international opportunities, and explore new horizons. At the forum, students got answers to their burning questions answered by those who've already walked the path they aspire to tread.
Speakers pressed for time: According to Hua Swen, there was overwhelming engagement coming from both sides. The endless stream of questions and staggering number of sign ups was something he did not anticipate as the allocated time for the event was nowhere near enough. Evidently, there’s no doubt overseas exposure is something that truly matters to a great deal of students.
If you’ve got that sunken feeling in your chest that you’ve missed out, don’t worry! IRC has got you covered. There will be more opportunities on the horizon. Keep an eye out for future events on the NUSPS tele channel, stay engaged. We're looking forward to welcoming you to the next life-changing event.
