A Community Pharmacy IPPE is a longitudinal experience in a community pharmacy, in which first-year pharmacy students become a member of the pharmacy healthcare team.

The purpose of the experience is to integrate student pharmacists into a community pharmacy practice setting. The student pharmacists will develop relationships with site preceptors and team members throughout the longitudinal experience.

Students will take on specified roles that support and/or improve patient care. Through these roles, they will also learn about the communities that they serve.

The IPPE Community Pharmacy experience occurs every Tuesday or Thursday, except for official School of Pharmacy holidays.
