Experiential education
For at least one Advanced Pharmacy Practice rotations of the PharmD
curriculum, students are assigned to Good Neighbor Pharmacies (participants
in the AmerisourceBergen independent pharmacy program). There, students
combine their skills managing patient care with managing a community
pharmacy. Students are expected to participate in a management project
in addition to their daily therapeutic applications.
