Experiential Education - P2 Students

New curriculum for early pharmacy practice experiences will be gradually implemented as the Class of 2011 progresses through the professional program.  This revised program was designed in response to new ACPE accreditation guidelines requiring that early experiential opportunities comprise at least 5% or the total curriculum. 

Until the new program is fully implemented, two curriculums will be in place.

  • Sterile Training
    P2 students will complete at least 8 hours in a sterile product environment. The Sterile Training Early Experience is designed to introduce the student to required technical expertise and professional decision making in the hospital or long-term care pharmacy setting. Course goals include demonstrating skills in competency categories of Communication, Product and Service Management, and Professionalism in order to safely and accurately prepare medications using sterile technique
