Last month, the Atlanta IPhO Chapters Conference 2026 brought together student pharmacists from Mercer University and the University of Georgia in a collaborative effort to strengthen connections between pharmacy education and the pharmaceutical industry.
Organized by Brittinee Meriweather, Halima Soumare, and Michael Lim, the conference highlighted diverse career pathways in industry pharmacy while expanding awareness of professional opportunities across Georgia and beyond.
The program featured discussions on key functional areas within the pharmaceutical industry, while also serving as a valuable platform for networking among students, alumni, and industry professionals.
We extend our sincere gratitude to keynote speaker Dr. Wade Smith for opening the ceremony and setting the tone for the event, as well as to all speakers for sharing their expertise, engaging with students, and offering meaningful insights throughout the sessions.
