Preceptors – Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE)
During the pre-professional component of Drake's curriculum, students begin their introduction to pharmacy practice through professional shadowing and mentoring experiences. These experiences are referred to as Integrative Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE). They do the important task of integrating didactic coursework with practicum experiences for students in their first three professional years of study.
New standards have been created by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) in response to a quality improvement initiative within the profession. These changes directly affect early experiential programs, requiring early experiences to consume 5% of the total curriculum during the first three years of the professional pharmacy program. Drake students will participate in 300+ contact hours during their first three professional years, which are designed to introduce students to the technical and professional expertise required to be effective in each environment and to prepare students for their final year of rotations and for their practice beyond graduation.
