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.
Pharmacist Membership
As of July 1, 2025, you are no longer a member of the South Dakota Pharmacists Association by virtue of renewing your license. You must now sign up separately to become a member of the South Dakota Pharmacists Association to enjoy its rights and privileges. Membership allows you to stay connected to the pharmacy profession in our state, educational opportunities and a chance to shape pharmacy in South Dakota for the future.
Associate Membership
SDPhA Pharmacy Partner & Friend of Pharmacy Associate Memberships are designed for entities and individuals with an interest in pharmacy who are not eligible for active membership.
Your support helps us face the future head-on. SDPhA is actively working to address the mounting challenges in pharmacy, shape the future of the profession, and maintain strong relationships with South Dakota's policymakers. But we can't do it on individual dues alone. By becoming an Associate Member, you demonstrate your commitment to the pharmacy profession and the critical work being done on behalf of South Dakota pharmacists.
Student Membership
Membership in the South Dakota Pharmacists Association for student pharmacists is provided through the South Dakota State University (SDSU) College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions’ registered student organization called the Student Collaboration for the Advancement and Promotion of Pharmacy (SCAPP). This group also includes SDSU’s student chapter of the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP).
SCAPP is a professional organization designed to give students opportunities in leadership, patient care, community service, education, professionalism, policy, and advocacy. The organization encourages the advancement of pharmacy as both a science and a profession, fostering education in all areas of pharmacy practice and promoting public health and welfare through educational and patient care initiatives.
Continuing Education
Technology and medication therapy options are always changing, meaning that responsible pharmacists must stay current with these advances and continue their education.
The South Dakota Pharmacists Association provides access to continuing education opportunities to ensure our member pharmacists and pharmacy technicians stay at the forefront of the profession. For more information about educational offerings, please contact South Dakota Pharmacists Association.
Pharmacy Technicians
Our pharmacy technicians play a crucial role in the pharmacy profession across our state. The resources we provide help them to stay on top of developments affecting them and continuing to learn and grow professionally. We look forward to assisting a reboot of the South Dakota Association of Pharmacy Technicians soon!
