MANY STUDENTS WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE WHO HAS INTERNAL MEDICINE AND ACUTE CARE IN THE SUMMER OR FALL AND WANTS TO SWITCH WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS IT IN THE SPRING, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT:

ravi.shah@my.liu.edu

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING APPE ENTRY TIME FRAME:

All students  can begin to submit choices for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences(APPES).

Everyone will be asked to submit rank choices for fall/spring experiences at a later date. Choices submitted for the summer cannot be rolled into the fall and spring. Please note as well that not all faculty members, volunteer preceptors, and sites are available at all times, but your choices will be considered in the rank order that you submit.

Kindly enter your choices in EMS using the same procedures and guidelines previously given to you. The last day for you to enter preferences is March 30, 2010 at 11:59 PM. Due to the complexity of the system, there will be NO EXCEPTIONS to this process. All students must make sure that they have entered their choices NO LATER THAN March 30.  If you are in the middle of entering your choices at 12 midnight, your choices will not be saved automatically -- so do not wait for the last minute. Please remember to SAVE your selections for each course/advanced practice experience. If you do not submit choices, you will receive random selections from the EMS computer. A separate "spin" or lottery is conducted for each rotation in order to give everyone an equal chance of being lucky or unlucky!

All choices MUST be entered EXCEPT for those sites in which you have worked or are currently employed. Completing a prior college experience at a site (such as an IPPE – PH 311 or PH 312) is not a reason for not selecting the site. If you do not submit all choices for a given experience, your selections will be voided -- meaning, for example, if there are 70 electives you must rank all 70 and not your top 3 choices. In addition, as noted in the EMS directions which were given out a while and are available under the Forms and Documents heading in EMS as well.

For those of you who have been employed at any of the sites listed- the time frame of how long or when does not matter - you cannot enter a site that you have been previously employed at for any length of time. IF after the results come back it will be YOUR responsibility to email me ASAP regarding that failure to do so will result in you repeating that experience.

Again, you will have from March 13, at 12:00 AM to March 30 at 11:59 PM to enter your choices – DO NOT  forget to do this.
