MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0
MyPSA Metamorphosis
MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0, themed “Visionary Pharmacy Leaders: Connect and Create Impact”, was conducted from April to September 2026 and structured into three progressive phases. The Introductory Phase equipped participants with fundamental leadership knowledge through sessions conducted by experienced speakers. Participants subsequently took part in a pitching session to propose and present their project ideas for the following phase. The Executive Phase focused on the implementation of the proposed projects, where participants assumed responsibility for planning and executing their respective initiatives under the guidance and supervision of assigned mentors. This phase provided participants with practical exposure to leadership, teamwork, project management and problem-solving.
The programme concluded with the Reflective Phase, which brought participants and mentors together to review their overall experience, reflect on the challenges and achievements throughout the project implementation, and celebrate the outcomes accomplished. The final phase served as an opportunity for participants to evaluate their personal growth and recognise the leadership competencies developed throughout their participation in MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0.
ACTIVITIES:
Phase 1: Introductory Phase
Phase 1 served as the introductory stage of MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0, focus on developing participants' leadership capabilities, interpersonal skills, and understanding of effective teamwork. The programme commenced with an opening remark by MyPSA Vice President I, followed by an introduction to the objectives, structure, and overall journey of Metamorphosis 8.0. Participants subsequently took part in ice-breaking activities and interactive sessions, which provided opportunities to establish connections and foster meaningful relationships with pharmacy students from different universities. Throughout the phase, participants engaged in sharing sessions, workshops, and short reflective sessions, which allowed them to explore their strengths, personalities, and leadership styles while gaining insights into effective communication, collaboration, and leadership, and prepared participants for the subsequent project execution phase.
Phase 2: Execution Phase
Phase 2 focused on providing participants with practical opportunities to apply the leadership and organisational skills acquired during Phase 1 through the planning and execution of their respective projects. An Event Organising Workshop was conducted on 22nd April 2026 to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills in event management, including proposal writing, budget planning, financial management, sponsorship, publicity, and event execution. Following the workshop, participants were assigned to their respective project groups and guided by appointed mentors throughout the planning and implementation process.
The projects included the MyPSA MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0: Sign Language Workshop 2026 and MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0: Veterinary Pharmacy Workshop 2026.
Phase 3: Reflective Phase
Phase 3 marked the conclusion of MyPSA Metamorphosis 8.0 and provided participants with an opportunity to reflect on their leadership journey, share their experiences, and celebrate their achievements throughout the programme. The session commenced with an opening ceremony, followed by a sharing session where participants discussed their experiences, challenges, and personal growth. This was followed by an awards presentation featuring the Best Project Award and Outstanding Growth Award, which recognised participants’ contributions and development throughout the programme. The event concluded with a closing ceremony and photography session, bringing the Metamorphosis 8.0 journey to a meaningful close.
