Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To create an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) that would encourage students to consider a career in academia. DESIGN: A 6-week, 6-credit elective APPE was created that offered students the opportunity to observe and participate in activities consistent with a full-time faculty appointment. ASSESSMENT: A 9-question survey instrument was administered to 27 students who completed the APPE between 2000 and 2004 to determine the impact of the APPE on the student's career choice. Sixteen (59%) of the 27 students returned the completed survey instrument. Ten of the 16 respondents noted that the APPE had influenced their pursuit of a position with a teaching component. CONCLUSION: Offering APPEs in academia may encourage students to incorporate teaching and scholarship into their career plans.
