Changes

Requesting Changes to the May 2008-April 2009
Rotation Year Schedule

General Information

1. Each April the Professional Year (PY) 3 class is assigned rotations based on indicated preceptor availability and student preference. Changes may occur throughout the rotation year, primarily due to changes in preceptor availability, an evolving student interest in a particular type or area of pharmacy practice, or student interest in residency training. Some changes may also occur based on health or other issues for students.

2. In order to provide a balance between commitments to preceptors and their ability to consistently plan and develop programs for students and evolving student interests during the PY 4 portion of the experiential education program, the following guidance is provided to students for your use and compliance.

Registration Procedures When Switching/Changing Rotations

The new SAP registration system, combined with new information on liability, requires that all students on Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) rotations be registered for each rotation section in which they are assigned.

During the Fall and Spring semesters, if you are assigned a rotation the first month you must be registered in 988-001 section, the second month in 988-002, the third month in 988-003, and the fourth month in 988-004 section.

In the Summer semester, if you are assigned a rotation the first month you must be registered in 988-030 section, the second month in 988-031 section, the third month in 988-032 section, and the fourth month in 988-033 section.

For those assigned to the Louisville CEC, your section numbers will be 005, 006, 007, 008 respectively during Fall and Spring, and sections 034, 035, 036, 037 for the Summer.

If you do not complete a rotation during a month for which you were previously registered, you should drop the section corresponding to that month.

If you add a rotation during a month in which you were not registered, you have to add that corresponding section.
