It's practically that time for P3 students to be finalizing their APPE rotations!

As terrifying as it is, I am finding it rewarding to read through these and plan out what I might be doing next year. A year of hands on learning sounds like we are finally really getting out there to test what we have learned these last three years.

Where are you looking at going?

Anyone thinking about the out of state options like Alaska? 

Or specialty electives like compounding or the FDA?

P4s or pharmacists, do you recommend any that you have experienced? Did any surprise you at how much you enjoyed it?

I'm hoping to do Critical Care as an elective. I also think Alaska would be so interesting - but I haven't made up my mind yet! The ND State Prison would be a unique experience you wouldn't get elsewhere either. There are tons of opportunities!

The medical mission sounds right up your alley!

I was initially thinking Alaska would sound fun, but more and more I am leaning toward Hawaii as my "fun" rotation. If I do it rotation 1, I can leave a week or two early and call it a vacation!

I'm having a hard time deciding what city I want to be located around though, Fargo or my hometown of Bismarck - mostly since I don't know where I want to practice in the end.
