- Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) are for first, second, and third year student pharmacists.
- Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) are for fourth year student pharmacists.
- Practice-based experiences make up more than 30% of the curriculum.
- Nearly 2,000 practice experiences are delivered each year by college faculty and adjunct faculty preceptors from Iowa, the United States, and around the world
