The White Coat Ceremony is one of the most memorable milestones in a pharmacy student's educational journey. It symbolizes a commitment to professional excellence, compassionate care and lifelong learning.

When you sponsor a white coat, you become part of that student's story. Your gift helps provide a meaningful welcome to the profession while encouraging students as they begin the path to becoming trusted healthcare providers.

Help make this special moment possible for an incoming student.

Where does leadership take you? Hear from our own Professor Kim Benner, PharmD ’96, on the Off Script podcast produced by the Alabama Pharmacy Association.

New episode of Off Script with Alabama’s very own, and the newly inducted President of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), Dr. Kim Benner.

In this episode of Off Script, Kim gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her new national leadership role, the work ASHP is doing to advance pharmacy, and why collaboration across pharmacy organizations is more important than ever. She also shares her advice for pharmacists looking to get involved, find their niche, and grow as leaders.

And because every good conversation needs a little fun, we also talk about her travels, her must-have travel item, her favorite destinations, and some of the unexpected adventures that come with life on the road.
