I do know the incoming pharmacy students at my program will be going completely online for the Fall Semester. The nuts and bolts are still taking place for my current class since APPEs are indeed next year, but the decision has been finalized no matter what that come November all of our courses / exams will be online for the remainder of that semester (so Thanksgiving and Christmas time-frame).
Interesting enough (although I have my own differing thoughts on the matter) the simulation rotation I had to do for my IPPE health-system rotation was 100% online and tuition was not lowered for the difference of not having the in-house in-floor experience.
I can only assume other programs will / are doing the same.

Wow. Pharmacy schools are easy enough to open up/run as it is, what with most lecturers teaching for free. Now they don't even need to pay for infrastructure/facility costs and are charging the same tuition? Let's all open up virtual pharmacy schools from our basements... we will all be millionaires in no time!
Paying for an "in person" pharmacy education these days = stupid
Paying for an "online" pharmacy program these days = (what is dumber than stupid? *****ic? was gonna say the "r" word but I'd be struck with the ban hammer for that I'm sure....)

wow...they even censor the word m*ronic. Has this become a catholic forum or something?
Gonna run one from home as a side gig. Gotta remember to call the ACPE tomorrow.
HAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ONE!
But seriously, you are lucky your program didn't charge you extra for the online credit in order to cover the cost of going online. UF does that.
"Technology fees"...
More likely that they will increase class sizes and charge more for use of additional technology.
Remember we got to graduate the classes earlier now because COVID will create a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE shortage and enormous amounts of positions that will need to be filled. Right Indiana?
After talking to 4th year pharm students I just realized that they will complete most of their rotations online. This option is only offered by pharmacy schools while other healthcare students still have to show up for face-to-face interaction with patients and colleagues. This amazed me.
there are virtual patient simulations for Med students

I forgot the key adverb ONLY
Better than the vitural featherbedding that pharmacy students are doing. Look, when pharmacists themselves are getting furloughed left and right because they aren't essential workers to the healthcare system, who do you think will give a rat's *** about pharmacy students? Absolutely nobody...

But medical schools are graduating them quickly in order to for the students to get matched into residency and then they have to come into contact with COVID patients. With pharmacy, since they are non essential, who cares
