The Office of Experiential Education manages both Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs). At UB, we offer an introductory program that is diverse and progressive in nature throughout all three years of the PharmD curriculum leading up and preparing each student for their final year of full-time, advanced pharmacy practice experiences. These are requirements of the curriculum that provide students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom and in the laboratory to real-world settings. We offer a variety of clinical specialties and research opportunities, for example:

• Dent Neurological Institute - ambulatory clinical and research activities available specializing in neurology
• Roswell Park Cancer Institute - inpatient and outpatient clinical rotations along with research opportunities with preceptors that specialize in cutting edge oncology care
• VA Medical Center of WNY - inpatient and outpatient clinical rotations along with specialty experiences in nuclear medicine, infectious disease, and anticoagulation
• Research - as one of the top research institutions in the country, we have several faculty in both the departments of pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences that offer opportunities to our students to perform various projects; we offer "research seminars" in the P1 year to expose incoming students to the research our faculty conduct to gauge interest right from the start of our program
• Niagara Hospice - inpatient and elective rotations that specialize in geriatrics and palliative care
• Buffalo Medical Group - outpatient clinical rotations that integrate our students with faculty and residents, along with medical practitioners for advanced patient care and research primarily with diabetes
• Out of region opportunities - we have affiliated sites that our students can pursue from Hawaii and Alaska to Florida and Maine

2011-2012 Preceptor List

Our current preceptors represent a dedicated group of professionals who are the backbone of the school's experiential education program. Without these individuals, our students would be unable to experience such a broad range of diverse and challenging rotational experiences. We thank them all for their support and dedication to the education of our Doctor of Pharmacy Students.
