More than 100 preceptors and pharmacy faculty

future of the College. Vanita K. Pindolia, Vice

Program with the Henry Ford Health System,
and Steven T. Simenson, President and

APPE Rotation Moves to 6-Week Model
Students are getting to know their preceptors a little
bit better beginning this summer. Our current 4thyear
students are taking part in 6-week Advanced
Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) rotations, a
shift from the former 4-week models.
The move allows students to receive a more fully
developed education from their APPE setting, while
providing them more opportunity to get to know
their preceptors who serve as mentors in helping our
students guide their careers.
All rotations have been reviewed and placed into new
categories. There are four required types of rotations:
Advanced Community Practice (ACP), Advanced
Community Hospital (ACH), Ambulatory Care Practice
(AMP), and Acute Care/Inpatient Practice (ACI).
Students will take three elective rotations in addition
to the four required types. Any of the required
rotations may be taken as an elective, as well as those
classified as Patient Care Practice Electives (EPC) and
Non-Patient Care Practice Electives (ENP).
