The University of Wyoming (UW) School of Pharmacy Experiential Program provides both Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE). IPPE rotations are comprised of Introductory Community and Hospital rotations between a student’s P1 and P2 years during the summer months.
APPE rotations consist of five required rotations (Advanced Community, Advanced Hospital,
Ambulatory Care 1, Internal Medicine 1, Ambulatory Care 2 or Internal Medicine 2)
and four elective rotations. Full-time faculty
Preceptors must be licensed by their respective regulatory board (Board of Pharmacy, Board of Medicine, and Board of Nursing) in the state they work in and must be in good standing with their board. The UW School of Pharmacy does not require preceptors to be a licensed preceptor. However if the state in which the preceptor works requires a preceptor license in order to precept students, preceptors should meet their state requirements.
The School of Pharmacy requires every preceptor to submit a Preceptor Application, Site Description form, and enter into a Contract/Affiliation Agreement.

We are excited to present our very first preceptor educational webinar created and
presented by the University of Wyoming Experiential Program in conjunction with guest
preceptor presenter, Dr. Melinda Carroll. The webinar focuses on the Pharmacists’
Patient Care Process (PPCP) and how Dr. Carroll utilizes and educates students about
the process in her practice at King Soopers pharmacy in Cheyenne, WY. The webinar
also covers how the PPCP is taught in both didactic and experiential settings. By
utilizing the PPCP in the education of your pharmacy students, you will promote its
consist use across the profession. In addition, you will be providing a framework
for patient care for your practice setting that is patient-centered and delivered
in collaboration with other members of the health care team. With all preceptors educating
their students about the PPCP it will reinforce the process’ applicability to the
variety of patient care services delivered by pharmacists.
