I'm currently a 4th year pharmacy student and will be spending the next year completing rotations. My involvement in different settings varies.. so far I've rounded with a team of attending doctors & their residents/interns every morning for 6 weeks, followed & worked up patients' drug therapy regimen, presented lectures to pharmacists/doctors/nurses about various disease states and their drug management, and consulted patients that come in about chronic diseases (ie: asthma) and tweaked their meds based on whatever new information I get from them that day. I'm sure I'll end up doing more as the year goes on, but so far I've only completed 2 rotations.. and I have 4 more to go.
Does all of this count towards clinical experience requirement? I know I'm working directly with patients, but it's in the capacity of a clinical pharmacist in-training and not from the perspective of a doctor... anybody know?
