Through 4-week Introductory and Intermediate Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs), students begin to practice skills related to the profession through a variety of experiences including shadowing pharmacists, participating in the drug delivery process, observing the use of automation technology and participating in community health education activities. In the summer after their first professional year, students gain practice experience in Community settings. In the summer after the second year, students have rotations in Hospital/Institutional practice settings.
