Experiential Education at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences

The Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) are designed to provide active learning and an extension of the information learned throughout the Pharm.D. curriculum.  Both IPPEs and APPEs involve student participation and service in community and institutional pharmacy settings. Students have the opportunity to use the information learned throughout coursework and experience different pharmacy settings.  By completing the IPPE and APPE courses, students have the opportunity to grow in the field of pharmacy, receive hands-on training in many pharmacy career areas, practice with experienced pharmacists, and gain appreciation for the roles of other members of the healthcare team.
