Introduction to Pharmacy Practice prepares pharmacy students for their first introductory practice

experience/Co-op (IPPE). Students will be introduced to the policies, procedures, and expectations of the

Cooperative Education program. Students will develop the skills needed to be successful in the preparation,

activity and reflection components of the Pharmacy Co-op program. Students will prepare their first resumes

and learn proper interviewing techniques. Students will be exposed to the various opportunities available to

them for Co-op as well as potential career paths within the pharmacy profession. Students will also be

introduced to workplace issues including diversity, sexual harassment, ethics, and confidence of information.

Students will also be introduced to technical knowledge and skills required for their first pharmacy experiences

in both community and institutional pharmacy practice.
