We rely on practicing pharmacists to expertly train the next generation of pharmacists (YOU!). These pharmacists (preceptors) are extremely busy and need information from students in a timely fashion! (health/immunization records, etc.)

*CORE is the Electronic Learning Management System you will use during your rotations and professionalism courses

• Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine is FDA Approved (8.23.21) others under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)

• Many rotation sites are requiring it for students with NO EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED. In fact, each week we are receiving notices that more sites are requiring the COVID-19 vaccination. The UBSPPS had no control over the sites policies.

• We are not sure if ALL sites will require the COVID-19 vaccine in the future, but it is a distinct possibility.

• The EE Team is here to support you during rotations, do not hesitate to reach out to us• Applying the knowledge you have learned in a real-life scenario is a very exciting time

for you! • Effective and timely communication with your preceptor and the EE office is critical to

your success• Check Outlook and CORE emails daily x 365 days

• Rotations are your priority (just like any course) except you may complete your rotation on1st,2nd, or 3rd shift depending on when your preceptor is scheduled to work

• Rotations are different from didactic courses in that your preceptor will rely on you to help them care for patients. So, if you are late for a rotation patient care will likely suffer.

• Approach rotations as a job interview so be sure to shine! • Each site has their own rules and policies that you must follow

• Remember HIPAA (as an example phone pictures/recordings are generally not allowed)• Understand the differences in the 4 areas of CORE
