PPS Overview
Topics on This Page |
PPS is a national pharmacy recruiting event that takes place annually. Participating in PPS allows job seekers to interview with employers during a 4 day period where the largest number of pharmacists are gathering at one time, ASHP’s Midyear Clinical Meeting. With its focus on improving patient care, the midyear is attended by more than 20,000 pharmacy professionals from 86 countries.
PPS and Midyear registration are processed separately; however, you must register and pay for both to interview in PPS.
Using the PPS job board on this site between September and December, job seekers can post resumes, conduct web searches, and contact employers to schedule interviews. Once at the meeting you will be able to interview with employers at a designated location.
