The Students of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (SISPE) is a global network for students interested in or studying pharmacoepidemiology. This network is led by the ISPE Student Council and includes both student chapters and individual members. SISPE advocates for and represents student members within the society.

The ISPE Student Council has set the following goals and objectives:

  • Provide a forum for discussing issues relevant to pharmacoepidemiology students worldwide.
  • Facilitate the exchange of information on research, grants, job openings, and other topics of interest.
  • Strengthen ISPE student members’ professional network, fostering a vibrant and engaged community.
  • Represent the interests and concerns of ISPE student members to the Board of Directors.
  • Organize student activities at ISPE meetings and throughout the year to maximize student engagement.

To achieve these objectives, the ISPE Student Council organizes student skill-building workshops at annual meetings, hosts student-focused events at ISPE-sponsored conferences, conducts webinars throughout the year, provides resources to foster engagement among ISPE student members and chapters, and undertakes various other activities such as mentorship programs, networking events, and collaborative projects aligned with these goals.
