Why do Pharm schools not post rotation sites?

Most schools only list 3-4 rotation sites, but not specifically.
I'm interested in finding out the list of rotation sites for the following schools -- can anyone help?
Mercer
MCPHS
Albany
VCU

You'll have to call the schools directly. Most places don't post their rotation sites because the preceptors they have can always change. Thus, a rotation that they did last year may not be available this year (e.g. preceptor goes on maternity leave, moves to a different store, etc.). You can only image what could change over the course of three years and how many times they'd have to update the sites on the website. Thus, if you want a better idea, you'll have to contact whoever coordinates the rotations at the schools you're looking at.

They don't make that information public because it can take years to build a professional relationship between school and rotation site. Also, the flux in schools and pharmacy itself are causing rotation sites are becoming a lucrative "commodity," so to say.
New schools are unable to procure rotation sites and schools that already have them are out to protect their assets. Your best bet is to write directly to the school or call sites that you THINK may have students rotating there. With enough searching you can find just about anything...

agree with above posts.

from what i hear, people have set up their own, new rotation sites in the past
