Preceptors are faculty and volunteer practitioners who serve as educators of future pharmacists through the professional experience component of the Doctor of Pharmacy Program.  The program consists of a series of structured experiential learning activities which begin during the second semester of the first professional year. The experiences occur in a variety of settings such as hospitals, community pharmacies, and the pharmaceutical industry, among others.  A total of 1,620 contact hours (equivalent to 45 semester credits) are distributed and offered as a curricular sequence of six introductory experiences leading to eight advanced practice experiences in the fourth professional year of the curriculum.
