National Pharmacy Students‘ Weekend (NPSW)
Some informations
What is NPSW ?
NPSW is asep’s biggest annual event. It offers a unique platform for “networking” and enables insights into future career paths. It’s a weekend :
- which brings together pharmacy students from all over Switzerland: Geneva, Zurich, Basel, Bern, Fribourg, Lausanne, Neuchâtel
- in which various speakers present and share their profession 🡪 the pharmacist: the innovator! What services will the pharmacist of tomorrow have to provide and what does his future in society look like?
- Above all, it is the opportunity to learn together. Students from all Swiss universities united, concerned by the same themes, meet to discover the world of pharmacy in a framework that is more human than academic.
- Pharmacy is a very broad interdisciplinary domain. We only find out at a late stage what the professional challenges are that we will be exposed to later. It is therefore important for us to become aware of these difficulties.
- It is also an opportunity to meet new people, exchange different opinions and experiences, talk to experts and, last but not least, celebrate together, no matter what university and in what language.
