Korean Pharmaceutical Society Opens 12th PYLA Program for Pharmacy Students

The Korean Pharmaceutical Society (Chairman Choi Hak‑bae) opened the 12th Pharm Young Leader Academy (PYLA) on May 5 at the Seoul Youth Hostel, commencing a four‑night, five‑day training schedule. PYLA is an intensive education program targeting nationwide 5th‑year pharmacy students who wish to enter the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, aiming to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the sector. This year marks a transition as the Korean Pharmaceutical Society assumes hosting and operation responsibilities from the Korean Pharmacists Association, introducing a curriculum grounded in industrial pharmacist expertise.
