To describe the development, implementation, and assessment of an internal medicine introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) that was integrated with an existing advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) in internal medicine.
A structured IPPE was designed for first-, second-, and third-year pharmacy (P1, P2, and P3) students. Activities for the IPPE were based on the established APPE and the individual learner's educational level.
Students reported a greater understanding of clinical pharmacists' roles, increased confidence in their clinical skills, and better preparation for APPEs. Peers viewed the approach as innovative and transferable to other practice settings. Participating faculty members provided a greater number of contact hours compared to traditional one-time site visits.
Integrating an IPPE with an existing APPE is an effective and efficient way to provide patient care experiences for students in the P1-P3 years in accordance with accreditation standards.
描述一门内科入门药学实践经验（IPPE）的开发、实施和评估情况，该经验与内科现有的高级药学实践经验（APPE）相结合。
为第一、二、三年级药学专业（P1、P2 和 P3）学生设计了结构化的 IPPE。IPPE 的活动基于既定的 APPE 和个人学习者的教育水平。
学生报告称，他们对临床药师角色的理解有所增强，对自身临床技能的信心有所提升，并且为 APPE 做好了更好的准备。同伴们认为这种方法具有创新性，并且可以推广到其他实践环境中。与传统的一次性现场访问相比，参与的教师提供了更多的联系时间。
根据认证标准，将 IPPE 与现有的 APPE 相结合，是为 P1-P3 年级学生提供患者护理经验的一种有效且高效的方式。
