Meet your 2019 Committee!
Our main goal of the year is to provide support to the students of UQ Pharmacy by organising a range of events and initiatives throughout the year allowing students to explore and excel in the field of Pharmacy. QPSA would not be where it is today without our dedicated students and valued members. Why not become a member today (here) to enjoy exclusive benefits of discounted texts and events.
Education Representative - Clarissa Chen

Hi, my name is Clarissa Chen and I am the QPSA education representative for 2019. As a passionate learner myself, I look forward to bringing educators, teachers, pharmacists & students together to collaborate through a variety of education events. On a regular basis throughout the year, I will work hard to ensure that all students will have fun in their experiences through these events and learn something new they can apply in their future careers. If you have any education events you would like to see or just a topic you want to hear about, feel free to contact me through my email and I’d be more than happy to accommodate where possible. Keep an eye out for the draft education events list at the beginning of each semester! Find me at education@qpsa.com.au
