That is organized by NUSPS. In another weekend, I visited another tourists attraction but not with the SEP comittee

I learnt much from this programme. SEP is very good programme. Hope all the pharmacy student especially from Indonesia can follow this SEP next time. Thank u for let me join this SEP. But I think 32 Euro for registration is very expensive.
