Membership
IPSF has student organisation members and individual members.
Full Member organisations (FM) represent the majority of pharmacy students in their country and are entitled to vote at the IPSF General Assembly. Members in Association (MiA) are entitled to contribute to the conversation at the IPSF General Assembly, but they are not entitled to vote. Each member organisation nominates a Contact Person who is the link between the IPSF Executive and Regional Offices, and the members in the organisation.
Pharmacy students and graduates up to four years after their graduation from their first degree in pharmacy are entitled to become Individual Members (IM). Individual Members receive regular news updates from IPSF, but they are not entitled to vote at the General Assembly. Friends of the Federation (FoF) are supporters of IPSF.
General Assembly
The General Assembly meets annually to discuss all ongoing matters and plans of the Federation, to accept reports and to elect the Executive Committee.
Executive committee and subcommittees
The IPSF Executive consists of eight elected members: President, Secretary General, Treasurer, Chairperson of Public Health, Chairperson of Publications, Chairperson of Education and Practice, Chairperson of Public Relations and Chairperson of Student Exchange. The Executive also includes co-opted members such as the Chairperson of the Congress Reception Committee and Regional Chairpersons. Executive Committee members serve the Federation as volunteers with one Executive member designated as the Permanent Officer to work full time at the IPSF Headquarters in The Hague, The Netherlands.
IPSF has subcommittees to help and supervise the working of the Executive Committee. Subcommittees consist of individuals who nominate themselves each year at the IPSF General Assembly.
Regional Offices
The Regional Offices of IPSF aims to foster greater communication within the region and between the Executive and regional members, as well as to allow a platform for the discussion and development of the initiatives with a more region-specific angle. Currently there are two IPSF Regional Offices: the Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) and the Pan-American Regional Office (PARO).
