Thank you for agreeing to participate in Drake’s Experiential Program. Attached is your Advanced Practice Experience schedule for the 2011-2012 academic year. We owe our success in part to you as a preceptor for taking the time to teach our future pharmacists. Your P4 students should contact you approximately one month prior to the start of their rotation for instructions on beginning their experience.
We now use E*Value as our web-based experiential education tracking system. A number of orientation resources are available to you if you are new to the system or just need a refresher.
Use the link below to access a written guide and a series of 1-2 minute online tutorials demonstrating various functionalities.
