Experiential Education encompasses approximately one-third of the pharmacy curriculum.
The experiential component provides in-depth exposure and real-life active participation
in a variety of pharmacy settings. Pharmacy preceptors play a central role in experiential
education. They serve as mentors and role models and demonstrate high professional
standards. Preceptors guide students in the application of knowledge learned in
the classroom and evaluate the student’s progress.
The Office of Experiential Education in collaboration with adjunct and affiliate
faculty, advisory board members and preceptors strives to ensure that experiential
programming is meeting the goals and objectives of
MCV/VCU School of Pharmacy’s Mission Statement and
Curricular Global Outcomes.
