APPE HELP
Hi everyone! I'm about to enter my P4 year and I'm really excited to start APPEs, but I've been struggling to secure rotation sites and could really use some advice or recommendations.
Unfortunately, I haven't received much assistance from my school with finding placements, so I've been trying to find opportunities independently. I've reached out to multiple pharmacies and organizations, emailed potential sites, and have even gone to a few places in person. Despite putting in a lot of effort, I currently only have 1 of my 6 APPE rotations secured, and I'm starting to get pretty anxious about being able to complete my schedule.
I'm located in Rochester, NY, and I'm open to a variety of pharmacy practice experiences. If anyone knows of pharmacists, preceptors, health systems, pharmacies, organizations, or other sites in the Rochester area that may be willing to take a P4 student for an APPE, I would be incredibly grateful for any leads or connections.
I'd also really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation. How did you find rotations outside of the opportunities provided by your school? Are there any resources, organizations, or approaches you would recommend?
I'm more than willing to reach out to potential preceptors myself and provide my CV or any additional information needed. At this point, I'm just trying to be as proactive as possible and make sure I can get the experiences I need to complete my P4 year.
