Students are educated on the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process (PPCP) throughout pharmacy school and are required to see, use, and discuss it on their experiential rotations. While preceptors are likely following the PPCP “wheel” in their day to day interactions with patients, most are doing so without explicitly calling out the steps of the process. Join us to discuss practical tips for incorporating the PPCP into your experiential rotation.
