This book covers the skills students need to excel while on either IPPE or APPE rotations, along with competencies that may be unique to one type of rotation or another. By using this text, students can gain an appreciation of the general expectations and typical activities of their rotation before they begin, allowing for better preparation and performance. It can also serve as a resource throughout the experiential year.Although rotations are crucial to the development of skills needed to practice pharmacy, there has been little available to guide students and show the best way to prepare and make the most of these experiences -- until now.Part I covers the broad skills required to succeed in any type of rotation. Part 2 delves into the particular tools needed to excel in each major type of rotation, and is organized by category. Part 3 focuses on the transition from student to pharmacist, including topics such as interview skills, CV writing, professional organizations, and the development of life-long learning habits.Other features include cases that illustrate common pitfalls, and quotes from students and preceptors that offer first-hand advice.Edited by Mate M. Soric, the book includes contributions from pharmacy preceptors and leaders who offer their expertise and guidance.
