ROTATION ASSIGNMENT PROCESS

PURPOSE TO PROVIDE THE PY 3,CLASS OF 2009
STUDENTS AN OVERVIEW OF THE MAY 2008 APRIL
2009 ROTATION ASSIGNMENT PROCESS
3
This was my first clinical rotation and I truly
enjoyed it. Throughout pharmacy school I have
been on a constant path toward community
pharmacy, but this rotation has really made me
reevaluate my career plans.
I learned a lot about diabetes. I used to not be
able to list the classes of drugs or how
they worked, but now I can rattle off that info.
I was able to experience dealing with a variety
of disease states. My preceptor was great. I
felt he had my best interests at heart and wanted
me to learn as much as I could.
Great learning experience, especially for those
already experienced in community pharmacy.
This rotation was near perfect for me. I
learned how to be an independent
pharmacist, which is my career objective.
It being my first rotation, I was really
nervous. But my preceptor was very easy to work
with.

I Want YOU for CEC Assignments
19
The Clinical Education Center Model ? Increased
enrollment translates into more students on
rotation during 4th year and increased need for
rotation site and preceptor development ?
CEC model designed to facilitate the coordination
and delivery of clinical rotations in key
areas of the state ? UK COP faculty member serves
as the clinical training coordinator CTC)
at the CEC ?CTC assists students and preceptors
within the defined CEC area ?CEC students
meet with CTC and preceptors bi- monthly for
networking and educational activities ?CTC
available in immediate area to address problems
should they arise
20
University of Kentucky, College of
Pharmacy,Student Handbook, 2007-2008Paragraph
C. XII, page 35. The College of Pharmacy is
establishing Clinical Education Centers (CEC)
across the Commonwealth. These centers will
serve as the home base for students on APPE
rotations during their 4th year. Students
admitted to the College may be assigned to a CEC
to complete their entire 4th year of APPE, or
students may be assigned to APPEs statewide.
Every attempt will be made to secure financial
assistance during these rotations through the
statewide Area Health Education Center (AHEC)
system. However, students should be prepared to
incur additional expenses and inconvenience
during the time he/she is assigned to sites
outside the greater Lexington area, or at sites
within one of the CECs. Assignments are normally
made as early as possible, giving students time
to work with local AHEC coordinators to secure
housing and make plans for off-campus experiences.
21

  students will be assigned to one of three
  geographical areas ? Louisville
