PHP 215 - Intro Pharm Practice Exp II

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Pharmacy Practice

Description:

The IPPE will provide, both the experienced and inexperienced student, 160 hours of contemporary pharmacy practice in both a community pharmacy setting and a hospital pharmacy setting. The IPPE program will begin immediately following professional year two and usually take place over four weeks. The IPPE will consist of both practice site activities as well as supporting activities at the college. This introduction to the practice of pharmacy will provide the student with the ability to integrate first-hand practical experience with their didactic and laboratory coursework. Students who present with an extensive background in a particular setting e.g., as a pharmacy technician in a chain drug store, may be assigned to complete the IPPE requirement in an alternative practice setting e.g., an independent community pharmacy or a compounding practice. The IPPE will allow the student, under adequate professional supervision, to be directly involved with patients and their care. Based on prior pharmacy experience in a particular setting, the student¿s direct participation in providing patient-centered care will gradually progress allowing the student and preceptor to feel confident in the student¿s ability to interact with patients. This will provide an opportunity for students to gain an appreciation for the career opportunities available in community pharmacy. Completion of the IPPE program is a prerequisite for beginning the APPE (Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience) program.
