Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Compare and contrast strategies for placing students in rural settings as a means of addressing strain on urban hub preceptor and site capacity and availability.
  • Identify solutions for overcoming common challenges experienced by students and colleges/schools in facilitating rural experiential education opportunities.
  • Articulate common needs of rural pharmacist preceptors to address rural preceptor recruitment, development, and retention.
Four colleges of pharmacy will present strategies for increasing utilization of rural IPPE and APPE rotation availability to relieve capacity demands in urban hubs, including rural training track/certificate programs. Participants will identify opportunities and solutions to challenges they may encounter in expanding rural experiential education for students including methods to support rural preceptor recruitment, development and retention. This session will articulate successful strategies to extend rotation capacity while building the rural pharmacy workforce pipeline.
