Spring 2026 Lecture
The Introduction to Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) course was designed to provide students with the tools needed to be successful clerkship students. Students will participate in a variety of activities, including case studies, group work, evaluations and assessment, review of therapeutic topics, and student/preceptor panel interactions. Activities will be supplemented by didactic lecturing for each topic. The activities and lecture topics were selected based on feedback from previous clerkship students, preceptors, and faculty, and are intended to de-mystify the clerkship experience. This course prepares students to enter the clerkship year with the ability to successfully submit required clerkship forms, evaluate preceptors and peers, avoid common clerkship student mistakes, document clinical interventions, review medical charts, and prepare for therapeutic and pharmacokinetic responsibilities.
