PRX 1212 - Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience I - Community Operations (IPPE I)

2 Credit Hours

This is the first course in the introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) series that is intended to increase students’ knowledge and understanding of the workflow system in the community setting. The IPPE series is designed to be a practical experience that focuses on the development of students’ professional attitudes, values, and skills. The student will be able to describe the role of the pharmacist and pharmacy support staff in the care of patients in the community setting and the relationship of the pharmacy to other settings. Coursework consists of coordinated, student-regulated, experiential activities based in a community pharmacy setting. Emphasis is placed on reflective, self-directed learning to enable students to demonstrate knowledge of pharmacy workflow and effectively deliver patient-centered care within the realm of community pharmacy by training under the guidance of a pharmacist preceptor in a local community pharmacy.
