Summary
This study highlights the value of an academic introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) for pharmacy students. The IPPE provides meaningful insights into teaching and skill development for future academic careers.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Academic Pharmacy Practice
Background:
- Academic careers offer fulfillment for pharmacists.
- Pharmacy schools use academic advanced pharmacy practice experiences to train students.
- This article details an academic introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE).
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the design and implementation of an academic IPPE.
- To evaluate student perceptions of the academic IPPE.
- To assess the IPPE's impact on understanding academic pharmacy careers and teaching skills.
Main Methods:
- Eighteen second-year and six third-year professional students participated between 2017 and 2019.
- Students engaged in teaching activities and learned about academic life.
- Standardized evaluations were used to assess student perceptions of the preceptor and rotation.
Main Results:
- Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive, describing the rotation as meaningful.
- Key benefits included expanded understanding of academic careers and enhanced teaching skills.
- Students reported increased confidence in their ability to develop and refine teaching abilities.
Conclusions:
- The academic IPPE successfully provided early pharmacy students with insights into academia and skill development.
- This model can encourage other pharmacy schools to implement similar rotations.
- Future work could include quantitative assessments and addressing precepting challenges.

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

01:24Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Presystemic Elimination
445
The pharmacokinetic journey of oral drugs begins with a crucial first pass through the hepatic portal system, called the first-pass effect. This first pass significantly impacts bioavailability — the proportion of a drug that enters systemic circulation and is available for therapeutic action. The primary route sees the drug absorbed by intestinal membranes and then shunted to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. Here, pre-systemic elimination occurs as drugs face metabolism or biliary...

Pharmacokinetics is a scientific discipline that focuses on the journey of a drug within the body, encompassing four key stages: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The first stage, absorption, involves the drug's transfer into the bloodstream. Several factors dictate the extent and speed of this process. For example, the liver often metabolizes oral drugs before they reach systemic circulation, leading to only partial absorption. In contrast, intravenous (IV)...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Pharmacodynamics is a scientific field that delves into drugs' intricate biochemical, cellular, and physiological effects on the human body. The study of pharmacodynamics helps us understand how drugs interact with the body and elicit various responses.
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or...
