Association Management Post-Grad Opportunities

“The NCPA Executive Residency is an incredible experience in associations. The resident is an integrated part of the Innovation Center and has opportunities to learn about program development, practice transformation, community pharmacy industry, and plenty of networking. During my time as the executive resident I worked on immunization programs, pharmacy access, student engagement, planning education events, and got involved with NCPA’s advocacy team. Being a part of furthering independent pharmacy and planning for the industry’s future has been an invaluable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to get involved and make a difference in the profession." - Jessica Satterfield, PharmD, MBA
