PURPOSE: Gather insight from student pharmacists about what they learned and whether objectives of an introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) were achieved in an academic-based ambulatory care site. METHODS: Students wrote post-reflective essays after their first ambulatory care-site visit. They reflected upon their previous assumptions of ambulatory care, and the roles and skills required of pharmacists in this setting. Additionally, students ranked their interest in ambulatory care pre- and post-IPPE. Post-reflection essays were analyzed for recurring themes using a constant comparison method and a respondent validation method was employed to confirm these findings. Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test was used to analyze student interest in ambulatory care and descriptive statistics were used, as appropriate. RESULTS: Overall, 70 reflection articles were analyzed. Assumptions of ambulatory care were either incorrect or proved to be more than what was expected for 60% of students. Based on the themes identified, students learned most about the collaborative practice model, chronic disease state management, and the time commitment necessary for outcomes. Regarding skills required of a pharmacist, students discussed the need for a strong knowledge base, communication, and ability to transfer these skills from one setting to another. Interest in ambulatory care increased after the site visit (p <0.01) and 90% of students who wrote these reflections strongly agreed or agreed with the above findings. CONCLUSIONS: With intentional reflection, ambulatory care IPPEs can serve as a meaningful outlet for learning while also achieving IPPE objectives.
