APhA Foundation Executive Fellowship in Association Management & Leadership

Formerly known as the Executive Residency

This post-graduate program transitioned to the term "Fellowship" in 2019 to reflect the highly individualized nature of the program and more closely align with terminology used by similar post-graduate programs in association management and leadership. Appointments begin in mid-June and terminate by June 30 of the following year. 

 

Applications are currently closed.

For information on the Executive Fellowship purpose and objectives, view the 2022 Executive Fellowship flyer.
