Hi everyone, so I am on my second semester IPPE rotation and I do not understand why preceptors have this expectation that every p1 student on IPPE was a pharm. tech prior to matriculating. They dread that we dont have retail experience and when they evaluate us, they score us based on how a p3 or p4 would perform. Excuse me if I am wrong, but isn't the purpose of IPPE to level out the playing field once we are all p3 or p4's? IPPE is supposed to help students obtain the experience necessary to perform adequately during APPE's, not to test to see if we are already at that level.
