Experiential Education is a required component of the Pharm.D. curriculum that provides students with experiences in the field under the guidance of preceptor faculty.
The experiences increase in duration and complexity as the student pharmacist gains knowledge and skills, starting with introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPE) in health-system institution, community, and ambulatory pharmacy settings.
The experiences culminate with the advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE) occurring in the final year of the curriculum(P4), commonly referred to as “rotations”.
