The Marshall University School of Pharmacy had the opportunity to create an experiential education program where IPPE education was introduced in their P1 year and was concurrent with didactic coursework. The School begins the delivery of experiential education as soon as the sixth week of the first professional year.ObjectiveTo ascertain the opinion of institutional preceptors, community preceptors, and students after the first academic year to discern viewpoints on the effectiveness and value of very early P1 experiential rotations.MethodsInstitutional and community preceptors and students were assessed by anonymous survey in order to ascertain their respective opinions regarding early P1 experiential education. The results of the preceptors were further divided into institutional and community practice sites. This study was approved by the Marshall University Institutional Review Board.ResultsKey findings demonstrated that early rotations were perceived as beneficial to the student by both community and institutional preceptors, as well as, the students themselves.ConclusionsMost, but not all, preceptors felt early rotations were beneficial to their practice and the student. Institutional preceptors were less likely to perceive a benefit to their practice or to the student than were community preceptors. Students were positive about the early experience. The results of these surveys regarding early experiential rotations should help minimize concerns of both preceptors and those assigned responsibility for constructing experiential programs about implementing early experiential rotations in the curriculum.
