As part of our “pharmily,” you are invited to attend our college events and we encourage you to use these opportunities to network with your fellow Coug pharmacists and get to know our future Coug pharmacists. Cougs help Cougs, as our alumni are known to say!
The college works with the Washington State Pharmacy Association (WSPA) for Continuing Education. You can learn more about available programs through WSPA’s Online Continuing Education Center.
