Leadership

Lead with purpose.

Mentorship

Grow with guidance.

PSGH built one programme with two ways in. Mentor someone or be mentored. Join the leadership cohort or keep building your own path first. Wherever you're starting from, there's a seat for you.

Two paths, one programme

Pick where you start. Both roads lead somewhere.

You don't have to know exactly where you're headed. You just have to decide whether you're ready to become a leader, or to give guidance, or get it.

Leadership track

Becoming a leader, on purpose

Develop. Influence. Lead.
Six modules. One cohort. A full year of practice.

You show up with pharmacists from across the country and build the skills nobody covered in school: how to run a team, make your case in a room that would rather not listen, and lead a change nobody asked for. Every module ends with something you actually apply at work, not just notes you file away.

  • 01 Professional Identity & Leadership
  • 02 Communication & Influence
  • 03 Leading Teams in Pharmacy Settings
  • 04 Strategic Thinking & Advocacy
  • 05 Leading Change & Practice Innovation
  • 06 Mentorship & Coaching
Open to: any PSGH member, students included, at any career stage. No prior leadership experience required, just a willingness to show up for six sessions across the year.
Apply for Leadership
Mentorship track

Giving guidance, or getting it

Connect. Learn. Grow.
Paired one to one, for nine to twelve months.

You're matched with someone a few steps further down the road, or someone still finding their footing, and you meet on purpose, at least once a month. No scripts, no pressure to have it all figured out. Just an honest conversation with someone who's actually been there.

  • Matched to your goals and career stage, not at random
  • Mentors complete training before any pair meets
  • Orientation, a midpoint check-in, and support the whole way through
  • Today's mentee is often tomorrow's mentor
Mentors: 5+ years post-qualification, any sector. Mentees: PSGH student or full member, any career stage, with a goal in mind. Both commit to at least one session a month.

How it works

Two tracks, two paths

Choose Leadership, Mentorship, or both. Each track has its own application form, so if you want in on both, you'll need to complete both forms. From there, the two paths run independently.

Leadership track
1

Apply

Complete the Leadership application form and tell us where you're trying to grow.

2

Get placed in the cohort

Confirmed applicants are placed into this year's leadership cohort, alongside pharmacists from across Ghana.

3

Get oriented

A short orientation session sets expectations before your first module.

4

Attend six modules

One every six to eight weeks, spread across the year, with the same cohort throughout.

Mentorship track
1

Apply

Complete the Mentorship application form as a mentor or a mentee.

2

Get matched into a pair

You're matched one to one, based on your goals and career stage, not at random.

3

Get oriented

A joint orientation, plus mandatory training for mentors, before the first real session.

4

Meet monthly

At least one session a month, for nine to twelve months, with support from the committee throughout.

From the community

Real stories that shaped why this programme exists

These are people's own mentorship and leadership experiences, shared with us ahead of launch. Not programme alumni yet, since we're just getting started, but exactly the kind of stories we're hoping to create.

Mentee

I didn't undergo formal training to move from Medical Rep to Regulatory Affairs Manager. My mentor taught me the technical side and guided me every step of the way. The confidence and opportunities it unlocked went far beyond what I imagined.

GN
Grace NelsonRegulatory Affairs Manager, Novartis Ghana
Mentee

Transitioning from four years of hospital practice to commercial pharmacy was a big shift. My mentor helped refine my CV, prepare for interviews, and build my confidence. Today I'm thriving in a multinational organization.

DO
Darius Obeng EssahMedical Sales Representative
Mentor

My first real experience with mentorship was with a pharmacy intern early in my career, and it's fulfilling to see how far she's come. I know what it means to be mentored, and I count it a privilege to pass it forward.

NA
Nana AkuaRegulatory Affairs & QMS Consultant
Mentor

I mentored a community pharmacist with zero medical sales experience and coached her into becoming the company's best-performing rep, by focusing on feedback, negotiation, and sales fundamentals.

RA
Richmond Agyiriha ArmahCommercial & Sales Manager
Leadership Fellow

What helped me through my first leadership transition was structured leadership training, and mentors who chose to invest in me. Because of their guidance, I grew from first-line manager to Country Manager.

MA
Mawuli AtiemoCountry Manager, Global Pharma
Leadership Fellow

Participating in a structured leadership programme changed how I approach leadership. It made me more intentional about how I lead, support others, and create opportunities for people to grow.

Questions

Before you apply

No. This is a PSGH member benefit, run by the Capacity Building & Mentorship Committee. There's no fee to apply as a mentor, mentee, or leadership cohort participant.
Yes. PSGH student members can apply as mentees and are welcome in the leadership cohort too. The five-plus years of post-qualification experience only applies to mentors.
Yes, and plenty of people do. The two forms are separate though, so use both application links above if you want in on both tracks.
Mentorship asks for one session a month, nine to twelve months. Leadership asks for six two-hour sessions spread across the year, roughly every six to eight weeks. Neither is a small ask, but neither eats your week either.
Any PSGH member in good standing with at least five years post-qualification experience, in any sector of practice. All mentors complete a short training session before being paired.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until they close. Mentorship applicants go through matching and a short orientation. Leadership applicants get confirmed into the cohort and receive the module schedule.
Monday, August 31st. Apply earlier rather than later, matching and cohort placement both start right after the window closes.

Applications close Monday, August 31st. Don't sit this one out.

Two paths, one programme, and a seat that's still open for you.
