PHIE 1521 - Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences II (1)

This Spring semester course of practice experiences continues with the student pharmacists rotating through three different pharmacy practice settings for four hours a day, one day a week, for the entire semester (five weeks at each practice site). Assigned practice sites may include community pharmacy, institutional health system pharmacy, or specialty pharmacy. One of the three practice experiences will involve simulated patient care experiences led by College of Pharmacy faculty. Student pharmacists will also be expected to reflect upon their experiences in small group discussion sessions with faculty. This experience will provide 60 IPPE contact hours (cumulative 120 IPPE contact hours for the academic year). It is expected that student pharmacists will build upon the concepts learned in IPPE I and add to it the concepts of communication skills, introductory pharmaceutical calculations, and an introduction to pharmaceutical care. Fee - $20.
