PHRD 4300: Experiential Practice III (1 Credit)
The objective of the four-year experiential program, in combination with all other courses in the curriculum, is to educate students to think and act as independent pharmacy practitioners. The primary strategy used in experiential training to achieve that objective is to give students increasing levels of responsibility for patient care throughout the program in a variety of practice settings. Students will encounter multiple and varied problems in all experiential courses and success in experiential training is largely measured by the way in which they demonstrate the characteristics of an independent learner in dealing with those problems. Preceptors are mentors responsible for coaching students rather than providing instruction. The benefit gained by each student from experiential education is directly related to the extent the student takes direct responsibility for her/his own learning.
