I think it depends on the pharmacy program. Check the schools curriculum.

I am pretty sure all pharmacy programs require you do at least one rotation at a hospital, if not more. Out of my 6 rotations, 4 of them are at hospitals.

I think it is an AACP (or whoever it is that certifies pharmacy schools) requirement that you have at least 1 internal med rotation, and hospitals are where they do the internal medicine.

Why? I have 3 hospital rotations this coming year and I am so excited about them! I can't wait to do something besides CVS!

I'm going to wind up having five at Ruby Hospital in Mo'Town.

Yes - Mercer currently requires one that is just the distributive part of hospital pharmacy, and one that is a medicine/clinical rotation at a hospital. Also, you probably would end up with more, depending on what elective rotations you chose. Right now they require 7 five week rotations, although I've heard a rumor that may change for my class because ACPE is now requiring 36 weeks total of advanced rotations.
