My school (Wayne St in Det, MI) is offering a new track to choose that has a higher concentration of community practice settings than the tracks the traditionally offered. We rotate for 48 weeks of which 24 of them are spent in a community pharmacy (CVS etc). 6 weeks of that is considered a General rotation which everyone will do somewhere, the remainder of the time spent in the community setting (18 weeks) will entail specialized learning experiences. Again I say this is new and according to our faculty is the first time a pharmacy program has offered such a component in their curriculum. To give you an idea of the specific community rotation being offered: Comm. Management Rotation, OTC rotation, diabetes management etc. I'm curious to hear from other students about their community rotations being offered and if they to offer such an extensive community experiential program to interested students. Thanks!!

Our year of rotations only includes 4 weeks of mandatory "community pharmacy". We also have 8 weeks of mandatory "ambulatory care", which is community pharmacy in a clinic setting rather than a retail store. That's about for that type of pharmacy. Everything else is clinical except for "drug information" which is just a waste of time.

I go to USN.
Not 100% about the rest of my years, but:
1st year (20 days at 8 hours at retail)
1st year summer (6 weeks at 40 hours per week retail)
2nd year (same as first at retail)
and then 2nd summer and 3rd iyear is hospital.....this is the year I am the the most fuzzy on the details.
