Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences
Students complete 10, four-week rotations, for a total of 1600 hours, during their fourth year of pharmacy school. These APPEs begin in May and end in April of their fourth year. Required experiences include Community, Acute Care, Ambulatory Care, and Hospital Pharmacy. One of these experiences must be in a rural area. Students have the opportunity to select four elective rotations which can be tailored to their pharmacy interests. While most occur within Nebraska, we offer opportunities in surrounding states and internationally.
Our office recognizes high-quality pharmacy practice experiences cannot occur without the dedication of our preceptors. We are thankful for our preceptors’ contribution to the success of our student pharmacists.
