3.  COMMUNITY PHARMACISTS WORK WITH PHARMACY STUDENTS

     Twenty community pharmacists are taking part in a College of
Pharmacy program designed to provide the student a real-life learn-
ing experience by applying the basic principles taught in the class-
room to everyday problems encountered in the practice of pharmacy.
The professional function of the pharmacist is emphasized, particularly
the pharmacist's role in communicating with the patient relative to
health matters and the use of the Family Medication Record System. In
addition, the student has the opportunity to communicate with physi-
cians and other health professionals. The course, entitled "Community
Practice Clerkship," was initiated last year as an experiment, with
six students and six pharmacists. It has since expanded to accommo-
date 24 students, utilizing 24 voluntary pharmacists-instructors, for
the fall semester, according to Dean Joseph V. Swintosky. The student
spends three hours two afternoons each week in a community pharmacy,
which serves as the teaching laboratory. The instructor in the "labo-
ratory," one of the 20 practicing pharmacists, also holds an appoint-
ment as a voluntary faculty member. During the semester the student
rotates trough three different pharmacies, although only one student
is assigned at a time to an instructor. The student maintains a log
of his activities, with special emphasis on the problems he encounters.
At the end of the course, the student writes an evaluation of his
learning experience.
