Mentorship Program

Goal

The goal of the program is to provide mentorship opportunities to leaders and future leaders of the society through a program designed to develop, inspire, and encourage involvement in the profession. In doing so, this will allow new practitioners and their mentoring pharmacists to expand their professional network, share and learn from experience, and develop the future generation of our profession.

Networking Opportunities

At the upcoming LSHP Seminar meeting in May, a networking event will be organized to further opportunities for new practitioners and mentor pharmacist to meet face-to-face. This should not prohibit your regional chapter from organizing additional events with the new practitioners to network with the future leaders of our profession.
