The mission of VAPhA is to provide a common platform for pharmacists and pharmacy students of Vietnamese and other ethnic backgrounds to come together and serve the Greater Houston community while honing their professional and leadership skills. VAPhA promotes public health through community outreach, wellness screenings, healthcare literacy, and disease prevention. We provide community service events, continuing education events, health fairs, and professional advocacy to our members. We strive to embrace cultural diversity and contribute positively to the Houston community.
“VAPhA focuses on establishing a friendly and caring environment where pharmacists can volunteer their time to give back and mentor students. We host a Mock Interview Day every year to prepare prepharmacy students applying to pharmacy school, pharmacy students applying to internships and residency, but also pharmacy graduates for jobs. VAPhA has given scholarships to students during the annual Gala as a recognization for their commitment for pharmacy.
“As a VAPhA student member, you will enjoy many benefits such as scholarships, Mock Interviews, CV reviews, improve counseling and screening techniques from experienced pharmacists, listen to truthful advice, build connections, and many more!
