Catalog

The Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences consist of 9 one-month rotations beginning in May following completion of their third professional year and concluding in April of the fourth professional year. Courses are designed to emphasize continuity of care and incorporate acute, chronic and wellness-promoting patient care services in ambulatory and inpatient/health-system settings. Individual courses will focus on direct patient care, interprofessional interaction and practice, and/or medication dispensing, distribution, administration and systems management. During these courses, students spend one month (approximately 160 hours) in a variety of practice settings. Students are exposed to the role and responsibilities of the pharmacist in each practice and the importance of the pharmacist in patient care. Prerequisite: P4 standing or approval of instructor.
