PHAR7351: Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience 1 - Community
1 Credit
The purpose of the Community IPPE is to introduce students to the fundamentals of pharmacy practice, and professional attitude and behavior in the community pharmacy setting. The course will build upon knowledge and skills gained in the first year didactic curriculum, particularly Pharmaceutical Care Skills Lab, Foundations of Pharmaceutical Care, and Applied Pharmaceutical Care. While there is significant overlap across semesters, there will be greater concentration on different topics by semester driven by the activities in workbooks. The fall semester will focus more on patient education and pharmacy workflow. The spring semester will focus more OTC medications and self-care, and pharmacy operations.
