Although not promoted, when an out-of-state
student has the opportunity to utilize faculty in their geographic area from another
College of Pharmacy to meet clerkship requirements, the College will work with that
student and faculty, provided the following conditions are met:
1.) Documentation that the faculty member is from an ACPE accredited
College of Pharmacy Pharm. D level program and that they:
a. conduct Pharm D level clerkships in the area
that the student is enrolling
b. have taught these clerkships to Pharm D
level students in the past
2.) Receive a curriculum vitae from each preceptor
3.) Receive a course outline from each preceptor
4.) Verification by the preceptor of their willingness to serve as a
preceptor
After the successful completion of the clerkship, grade and related evaluation
materials shall be forwarded from each preceptor.
See also the FAQ: We have heard that the University of Arkansas has a
unique clerkship process that may enable me to conduct clerkships on a part time basis in
our own community, will we need to come to Arkansas for clerkships? That
part of the response that ties to this question is: The third method, although
not promoted, is when an out-of-state student has the opportunity to utilize faculty in
their geographic area from another College of Pharmacy to meet our clerkship requirements.
In this route the College will work with that student and faculty, provided a number of
conditions are met. The College wants to take responsibility for our students’
educational learning and does not want to be perceived as dumping our responsibility on
another academic program. However, situations may arise where this training may be
mutually beneficial for the student, as well as the two academic programs. For instance, a
nontraditional students may be a staff clinical pharmacist in a teaching facility for
another program. The other academic program may view "instructing" our student
as an opportunity to develop future teaching resources in their area and occasionally
agree to work with our student. This is strictly voluntary on the part of the other
academic programs.
