Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is IPSF's largest project, offering professional pharmacy internships. Every year, more than 900 students around the world are given the opportunity to experience the field of pharmacy in different countries. The member associations of IPSF organize the exchanges by finding host sites where the students are trained. The programme runs throughout the year (Winter ve
rsion and Summer version), but the majority of the exchanges take place between May and September. The length is usually 1 to 3 months with a minimum of 40 working hours per exchange, and possible host sites include:
Community pharmacy;
Hospital pharmacy;
Clinical pharmacy;
Wholesale pharmacy;
Pharmaceutical industry;
Research at university;
Government or private health agencies. The host may also provide room, board and/or pocket money in addition to the training site in order to help the applicant.
