The pressures driving the need for an expanded practice scope in community pharmacy have been building for the past 2 decades. Many pharmacists have chosen to embrace the pharmaceutical care model in their practice sites to meet patient and healthcare system needs. The potential for medication therapy management (MTM) services provide an additional career opportunity for pharmacy graduates. Colleges of pharmacy offer advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) in the community setting that are designed to prepare students for these opportunities. These sites provide students with the opportunity to observe the integration of pharmaceutical care activities into community practice. Although developing an APPE site is challenging, serving as a preceptor benefits the students, the site, and the patients served. Therefore, colleges of pharmacy and community pharmacists are collaborating to increase the number of APPE sites to prepare pharmacy students for practice today and tomorrow.
在过去20年里，推动社区药房扩大业务范围的压力一直在不断增加。许多药剂师选择在其执业场所采用药学服务模式，以满足患者和医疗系统的需求。药物治疗管理（MTM）服务的潜力为药学专业毕业生提供了额外的职业机会。药学院在社区环境中提供高级药学实践经验（APPEs），旨在让学生为这些机会做好准备。这些场所为学生提供了观察药学服务活动融入社区实践的机会。尽管开发一个APPE场所具有挑战性，但作为带教老师对学生、场所和所服务的患者都有益处。因此，药学院和社区药剂师正在合作增加APPE场所的数量，以便为当今和未来的药学学生做好执业准备。
