WSPS Board Application – Operation Self-Care
Each spring semester, the Wisconsin Society of Pharmacy Students (WSPS) elects and appoints a new WSPS Board. The
Patient Care Projects include Operations Airways, Diabetes, Immunizations, Heart, and Self-Care, as well as
GenerationRx, MedDrop, Organ Donation Awareness, United Way/PSW Liaison and Personal Health Partners. These cochairs are appointed earlier in the semester to allow the incoming chairs adequate time to shadow the outgoing cochairs. Patient Care Project Chairs are members of Team Community Outreach.
The applications for the Patient Care Project chairs are due Saturday, March 21st at 10pm.
Please read the following carefully:

The Executive Council will review applications and appoint co-chair(s) in the following order:
Operation Heart, Operation Diabetes, Operation Self-Care, Operation Immunization, GenerationRx, Operation Airways,
Organ Donation Awareness, Personal Health Partners, MedDrop, PSW/United Way Liaison.
For example, if you submit two applications, one for Operation Heart and one for Operation Self-Care, you will first be
considered for the Operation Heart position with all who turned in an application for Operation Heart. If you are not
appointed to that position, you will be considered for Operation Self-Care.
The rest of the Board will be appointed at a later time after Patient Care Project chairs are appointed. These positions
include: Membership, Fundraising, Professionalism, Webmaster, SPAN Liaison, IPSF Liaison, ASHP Liaison, and APhA
Liaison. Thus, if you are not appointed to a Patient Care Position, you can apply again for another Board position.
