Purpose Introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs) for pharmacy students are required by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, but guidance for rotational structure is limited. Objective To describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of IPPE rotations at a large, multisite, academic medical center. Conclusion A large IPPE program was successfully implemented and sustained. Rapid cycle changes were made based on post rotational surveys completed by both preceptors and IPPE students to assess and modify the rotations until the average experience was rated at least a 4 on a 5 point scale, illustrating a mutually beneficial collaboration between the Medical Center and the School of Pharmacy. The IPPE program structure and capacity has continued to grow at the Medical Center in a collaborative manner.
