What is Introductory PharmacyPractice Experience (IPPE)?
Develops student’s sense of professionalism by fostering the behavior, attitudes and values of a health care professional
Provides the students the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills taught in didactic coursework to patient/population care in various practice settings
Assists in the preparation for student participation in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences.
Assists in career path exploration and identification of the roles and responsibilities of the pharmacist in the healthcare system.
Scheduling Caveat
A minimum cumulative professional GPA of 2.1 will be required at
the end of the Spring Semester in order to complete the IPPE
courses.
A minimum cumulative professional GPA of 2.1 will be required
following the Fall P1 semester in order for students to be scheduled
in either the first session of Community IPPE, Health and Wellness
winter or spring break weeks or in one of the first 4 summer weeks
of Health and Wellness IPPE. Students below the 2.1 GPA
minimum will be scheduled in later summer sessions/weeks. This
policy is in place to avoid last minute cancelation of rotations due to
a student’s inability to obtain the GPA progression requirement.
What is Community Pharmacy IPPE?
• Completed at a community pharmacy (independent, chain, grocery)
• 3 week rotation/3 credits
• Students complete 40 hour/week schedule under supervision of a pharmacist (M-F; 8 hours per day)
• Students will be required to complete an on-line topic review assignment (including peer interaction) as a graded part of the IPPE. This assignment will be described in more detail during the Spring Orientation 2016.
When is Community Pharmacy IPPE?Summer 2016
Session 1 5/23/16- 6/10/16
Session 2 6/13/16 – 7/1/16

Where can I do Community IPPE?
Students cannot complete the IPPE at a site they have
previously or currently work.
Students can complete the IPPE at a different site of the
same pharmacy chain.
Students may continue to work at other places of
employment when not completing the IPPE (evenings and
weekends)
Students are not allowed to be paid (Accreditation Council
for Pharmacy Education Standards) or pay for an IPPE
Community Pharmacy placement.
Community Pharmacy IPPE Site Selection Process
The Rx Preceptor list will consist of sites in New
York and Vermont only. These sites include a
wide geographic area to meet student housing
needs
Students will be allowed to set up special
arrangement sites in other US states
Community Pharmacy IPPE cannot be completed
in other countries.
Community Pharmacy IPPE- Special Arrangement Policy
A “Special Arrangement “ site for Community Pharmacy IPPE may
be set up in New York or Vermont only if there is no currently
available site (on ACPHS roster of sites in Rx Preceptor) located
within a 30 minute drive from the student residence (as determined
by the placement profile submitted by each student).
Community Pharmacy IPPE special arrangements may only be
completed in session 2, 3 or 4. This requirement allows sufficient
time to accommodate the expected large number of student requests.
Session 4 is considered to be comparable to session 1. It allows the
student to have a large block of the summer free prior to IPPE and
return to the college.
Community Pharmacy IPPE PLUS
A 3 week elective intended to provide additional work place
exposure for those students with little or no experience.
The rotation can be done during the summer after the P1 year only
after completing the required community IPPE rotation. There may
be opportunities to complete this elective on 15 consecutive
Saturdays during the P2 year.
Sites are limited and are selected by the college based on
availability.
Students will be placed on a first come first serve basis.
There is no additional cost

• Step One – Complete Permission to Pursue Form and send to Mrs.
Jablanski.
• Step Two – After you receive approval from Experiential Education
you should contact the site and ask them if they would be willing to
host you for your IPPE Community/Health and Wellness rotation.
• If the preceptor/site agrees to host you for your IPPE rotation you
would complete the Special Arrangement form and send to the
preceptor and ask them to complete, sign and send into our office.
Special Arrangements for IPPE
Community can only be set up in
Session 2, 3 and 4
• Step Four – After Experiential Education receives the signed Special
Arrangement form we will contact the preceptor to confirm the
rotation. Once Experiential has this final confirmation, student will
be notified that their Special Arrangement has been finalized.
• If your Special Arrangement has not been finalized, you should
make your choices in CoreELMS. All Special Arrangements
override any choices made in CoreELMS.

Student Placement Profile• Submitted by December 11, 2015
• Save document in the following format:
• lastname, firstname.
• If document is not saved in this format, the form will not be accepted and will be
sent back for revision.
• Special Interests – For Health and Wellness placement please indicate if you
enjoy working with children and/or the elderly. Also note any special interests
you might have.
• Question 3 – Summer Scheduling Issues is where you will add if you have
any summer scheduling issues. Vacation or work does NOT constitute a
summer scheduling issue.
For International students or students that live in a distant state and do not
make special arrangements, you may indicate that you would prefer your
rotations in either the beginning (Session 1) or end of the summer (Session
4). Session 1 and Session 4 are considered interchangeable. There are
limited session 1 availabilities.
Please keep in mind that IPPEs are required courses and are part of the
Pharm. D. curriculum at ACPHS. They are no less important than any other
required course offered at a specific time. I urge you to keep this in mind
before scheduling any vacation/work time during the summer months.

RESEARCHING/MAKING SITE AND PRECEPTOR SELECTIONS
Do not click on “Show
Elective Sites” we do
not use this feature.
You do not need
to pick a region.
This option is
not used
Site SelectionCommunity
Students input ranked preferences into RxPreceptor December 9 - 21
Computer generates rotation site based on preference and availability
and it is not first come first serve
Remember do NOT pick a site that you “think” you can go to.
DO NOT PICK ONE SITE MULTIPLE TIMES! Choosing a site more
than once is a wasted choice
If making special arrangements unless your Special Arrangements have
been finalized you should make choices. Special Arrangements will
override any choices made in Rx.
Health and Wellness
Students will not pick Health and Wellness sites. Students will be
assigned to a site in area surrounding the home campus
If you want to do a rotation at a site that is outside the Capital District
you are encouraged to complete a Special Arrangement.
E-mail notifications will be sent (December and January) regarding the
availability of rotations sites outside of campus area. These will be
assigned on a first come first serve basis.

Additional Steps toPrepare for
IPPE Rotations
(Intern Permits, Health Requirements, CPR Certification, etc.)
Diana FosterExperiential Program Administrator
Intern permit- allows students to perform pharmacist
functions, under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist
You MUST have an intern permit for each state in which you complete a rotation
→ Permits are only required for community IPPE rotations (not TBC)
→ Intern Permits are state-specific – be sure you have the appropriate state’s permit
→ Intern Permits are YOUR responsibility to apply for
→ You must have an ORIGINAL intern permit with you at all sites – No copies
(e.g. if on rotation and working nights/weekends elsewhere, you must bring the
original permit with you)
→ Students will be removed from/asked to leave the site if they do not have the
required permit (incurring $250 change fee, and will be placed at an alternate site determined by
ACPHS.)
Intern Permits, continued
⇒ Students are eligible to apply for a NYS intern permit after successful
completion of P1 year
• $70 application fee; valid for 5 years
⇒ Students are eligible to apply for a VERMONT intern permit after completion
of 2nd year, so you can apply at any time throughout the year• There is no application fee for a VT permit
• Vermont intern permits expire July 31 of odd years, so you will need to renew it before APPEs
• Emails to follow in the Winter/Spring
Additional Requirements…..
ALL students entering IPPE rotations must have a current physical exam (PE) and Tuberculosis (TB) screening
submitted by Thursday, March 31, 2016.
Physical exams and TB screenings are valid for ONE YEAR
and must cover you for ALL rotations.
Physical Examand
TB Screening documentation
Physical Exam
Tuberculosis (TB) Infection ScreeningThere are two kinds of TB infection screening tests:
→ Tuberculosis skin test (TST) - also called a Mantoux or PPD
→ Tuberculosis blood test - also called Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA)
Please note the differences and timeframes for each type of testing:
IGRAs (blood tests) only require 1 trip to the healthcare facility
Results require 24-48 hours, plus the time it takes to send to your MD. Please factor the time into the deadlines
IGRAs require that the sample be processed within 8-30 hours after collection. Therefore, you cannot have blood drawn on a Friday if it cannot be processed until Monday.
A skin test (PPD) requires 2 trips to the healthcare facility (one for placement, one for reading)
For PPDs, you must return 48-72 hours after test is placed to have it read; therefore, you cannot have it placed on a Thursday, if the facility isn’t open on the weekend
IGRAs can be costly/insurance may not cover it, so you may choose a PPD for cost-effectiveness
Tuberculosis Screening RESULTS
If you had a prior TB test and the result was “+” (positive):
→ No TB test needs to be done this year (but prior results must be shown)
→ Documentation of a negative chest x-ray is REQUIRED
→ Physical exam documentation must be turned in (Your provider must indicate that you
have been evaluated for signs of active TB infection, and are cleared for rotations.)
NOTE: If you were PPD+ in the past, you can choose to have an IGRA (blood test) done this year, as this test is more accurate than a PPD, and should reflect as negative! That way, you don’t need to be evaluated further or have future chest x-rays to test for disease.
If you had a prior TB test and the result was“-” (negative), but your recent
results indicate that you are now “+” (positive):
→ You MUST receive a chest x-ray and provide a copy of the x-ray report to me
→ Updated physical exam documentation must be turned in, as well
(Your provider must indicate that you have been evaluated for signs of active TB infection, and are
cleared for rotations.)
TB Screening documentation (cont.)
PPD readings must take place within a medical facility -
Family members/friends should not be reading results
outside of the provider office, even if they are medical
professionals. Results must be documented in your personal
medical record.
Students must provide me with official documentation of a
Tuberculosis screening – I no longer provide a form to use.
Your doctor’s office can provide you with appropriate
documentation (which must include: date placed, date read,
manufacturer, lot #, results)
Physical Exam and TB screening, cont.
⟡ The physical exam and TB Screening must be performed between
August 26, 2015 – March 31, 2016so that they cover you through the entire IPPE rotation calendar
• Community runs from May 23 – August 19
• Health and Wellness runs from May 16 – August 26
⟡ Both are valid for 1 year, so must be completed annually before
rotations begin
⟡ You can complete your physical and/or PPD with your own physician,
or find one locally (Student Health Center, UVMC)
⟡ Your completed paperwork will be uploaded into CoreELMS
⟡ Forms and reminders will be emailed to the class soon
Physical Exam and TB screening, cont.
PLEASE REMEMBER……
⧐ These are health requirements of all rotation sites, not just ACPHS
⧐ Students are financially responsible for the physical and TB test
⧐ A TB screening takes at least 3 days to complete!! PPD (skin test) – you have the test placed one day, and you go back 2-3 days later to have it read
IGRA (blood test) – you only go to the healthcare facility one time to have your blood drawn, but it takes 2-3 days for results to come back
Factor in if your result is positive and you need a chest x-ray
⧐ DO NOT SCHEDULE YOUR TB SCREENING AT THE END OF THE WEEK – facilities typically are not open on weekends for a PPD reading (blood must be tested within 30 hours, or test is invalid)
⧐ If getting a PPD (not IGRA), schedule the PPD FIRST, and then the PE (if your PPD results are positive, your doctor can evaluate you properly during your PE for active signs of disease.)
⧐ Students will not be allowed to begin a rotation due to incomplete health paperwork!(incurring $250 change fee, and will be placed at an alternate site determined by ACPHS.)
CPR or Basic Life Support certification(Certification must include hands-on skills training; Students must have valid
certification while on rotation, per ACPE accreditation standards.)
Classes can be taken through American Red Cross, American Heart
Association or any certified trainer
Certifications are typically valid for 2 years, so will need to be renewed
before APPEs
Copies of certifications must be sent to Diana Foster; Details to be emailed
to class
NametagAll students must wear an ACPHS or generic nametag while on any rotation
(Nametags from other places of employment are not acceptable
while on rotation.)
HIPAA and Bloodborne Pathogens trainings are valid for 1 year, and must be completed annually
These modules are designed as initial trainings and annual reinforcements of the material
They are meant to reinforce the requirements regarding protected health information and when a person comes in contact with human blood, body fluids and other potentially infectious materials.
Rotation sites may also require you to complete their site-specific trainings – can never be reinforced too much!
HIPAA and Bloodborne Pathogens
Miscellaneous
Copies of health documentation (CPR, Imms, flu, PPD/PE)
Copies are available in your record in Rx Preceptor
Contact site AT LEAST 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE
EMAIL……..or CALL!!
Additional site requirements (!!!!)Check CoreELMS to determine if a site has additional requirements, such as an updated tetanus,
rubella titer (as opposed to the immunization), criminal background check, drug screen, etc.
PAY ATTENTION TO DATE REQUIREMENTS!!
