The IPPE sequence takes place during your second (P2) and third (P3) years. It provides the opportunity to observe and practice a variety of professional activities in multiple settings, including inpatient and community pharmacy.
Students are required to complete 315 IPPE hours before beginning fourth year (P4) rotations. A minimum of 75 IPPE hours of patient care must be completed in each community and institutional health-system settings. The remaining hours may be in a variety of pharmacy practice settings that expose students to patient care.
To qualify as an IPPE, the experience must expose the student to contemporary U.S. practice models and include direct patient care activities with a licensed pharmacist at the site.
While at an IPPE rotation site, students must abide by the rules, regulations and policies of the facility. Students may not be financially compensated for activities performed during their rotations.
All students must maintain updated immunization records as well as liability insurance as outlined by the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to engage in IPPE rotation sites experiences.
