Member Center
The strength of the South Dakota Pharmacists Association lies in its members. Without them, the SDPhA would not have the resources to promote, serve and protect the pharmacy profession to the best of our ability.

The IACP offers scholarships, career support and more to student members. You can see all of the doors membership in this elite organization opens, as well as how to join, by visiting the IACP website.
Continuing Education
