PRX 2212 - Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience II - Community Clinical (IPPE II)

This is the second course in the introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) series that is intended to increase students’ knowledge of the community pharmacy setting from what was learned in IPPE 1. The IPPE series is designed to be a practical experience that focuses on the development of students’ professional attitudes, values, and skills. The experience will increase students’ understanding of the pharmacist’s role and the clinical pharmacy programs available in the community pharmacy setting. 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.
