The American College of Veterinary Pharmacists’ Preceptor’s Guide to a Veterinary Pharmacy Rotation.

Student interest in veterinary pharmacy is increasing, and most pharmacy schools don’t have a curriculum that includes veterinary pharmacy. Therefore students are looking for IPPE and APPE opportunities to explore what veterinary pharmacy is all about. Preceptors need to be prepared to offer a rotation that can provide the basic information necessary to prepare a student for when they encounter a prescription for an animal patient. This presentation is meant to guide a pharmacist or veterinarian on what basic concepts need to be included in a veterinary pharmacy rotation.

OBJECTIVES:

• Describe the basic components necessary for a successful veterinary pharmacy rotation.
• Identify resources for the preceptor and student to use during the rotation and in practice.
• Discuss what has been successful for preceptors currently providing veterinary pharmacy rotations.
