Questions, answered
Who can apply?
Pharmacy students, and graduates up to four years after graduation, through an IPSF member association such as JPSA.
How long is an exchange?
IPSF placements usually last from two weeks up to three months. Incoming placements in Jordan run for 2–4 weeks.
Where can I train?
It depends on the host country: community and hospital pharmacy, clinical settings, industry, wholesale, university research, and government or private health agencies.
Is the exchange paid?
Generally no. SEP is a training experience rather than a paid job, and there are application fees. IPSF offers an SEP Grant to support some students. Placements in Jordan do not include a stipend.
How do I start?
Reach out to our SEP team early. Applications go through JPSA's Student Exchange Officer and follow IPSF's deadlines. Follow @sep.jordan for announcements.
