The Ambulatory Care Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience at the Medication Management Services at St. Mary Medical Center is designed to provide various clinical experiences necessary to prepare students to become entry level practitioners in Ambulatory Care. Student pharmacists will be involved in direct patient care activities in a diabetes management clinic. Student pharmacists are expected to serve as an integral member of the multidisciplinary health care team to assess patients and provide appropriate drug therapy. Student pharmacists are required to present a journal article analysis which is given to the rest of the staff, faculty, and students at the clinic.
