Experiential Education Program - Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience
Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE)
IPPEs provide students with 300 hours of practice based experiences during the first 3 professional years of the curriculum before beginning the APPE rotations. The majority of the IPPE must take place in a pharmacy practice setting. For more information on IPPE's, please click the appropriate year:
Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE)
The APPE program is for 6th year Pharm D candidates and consists of eight 5 week rotations. Within these eight rotations, there are five core required rotations that are to be completed within the current Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP) network. Three additional non-core rotations may be done within or outside of the current PCP network.
