Clinical Experiences

CLINICAL ROTATION SCHEDULE

Rotations are designed to integrate inpatient and outpatient care, drug use evaluation, drug information, distributive and clinical practice, and student teaching. Required core rotations are one calendar month in length. It is recommended that three core rotations will be completed prior to taking elective rotations. The residents participate in several longitudinal experiences during the year, which contribute to the core experiences of the program.
