Abstract
|
Although “learning by doing” has been a component of a
pharmacist’s training since the 1700s, experiential education has
received great attention only in the last twenty years. Up until the
early 1970s, experiential education was exclusively the domain of
boards of pharmacy who recognized the need for practical training,
which the schools had abandoned decades earlier. In addition to
graduation from an accredited university, candidates for licensure
were required to complete an internship to qualify for the board
examination. While the internship provided a needed exposure to
the practice of pharmacy, it was constrained by the employee/
employer relationship, the limited range of experiences available
in a given pharmacy, and the dependency on contact hours alone
to imply acquisition of practice skills(1).
