Overview
Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is IPSF's largest project, offering professional pharmacy internships. Every year, more than 1000 students around the world are given the opportunity to experience pharmacy practice in more than 80 different countries. Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is one of the main activities in IPSF. It is a mobility programme that gives students from all over the world the opportunity to get to know pharmacy in a different country. The member associations of IPSF organise the exchanges by finding host sites where the students are trained.
Details
The IPSF member organizations organize the exchanges by finding host sites where the students are trained. The programme runs throughout the year (Winter version and Summer version), but the majority of the exchanges take place between May and September. The length is usually 2 weeks up to 3 months with a minimum of 40 working hours per exchange, and possible host sites include:
- Community pharmacy;
- Hospital pharmacy;
- Clinical pharmacy;
- Wholesale pharmacy;
- Pharmaceutical industry;
- Research at university;
- Government or private health agencies.
The host may also provide room, board and/or pocket money in addition to the training site in order to help the applicant.
During exchange, participants can share and develop pharmaceutical knowledge and skills. In the same time, this is an unique opportunity to experience new cultures, try different food, meet friends, learn new language, visit beautiful places and enjoy your vacations by enriching yourself in different ways.
