The mission of VAPSS is to encourage pharmacy students to use their pharmaceutical knowledge to provide health education services at community health fairs in the greater Houston area. The Vietnamese American Pharmacist Association of Texas (VAPAT) is the parent chapter. In addition, VAPSS also provides mentorship, partial funding of travel expenses to pharmacy conventions, and social activities including intramural sports.
