The length of each experience is up to the host entity and, while many internships are traditionally available for 10 to 12 weeks in the May to August timeframe, the co-sponsors encourage host companies to think about flexible experiential learning opportunities. This is especially important for learners in 3-calendar year PharmD programs as they are in class or on rotations in the summer months. Longitudinal experiences, most likely offered in virtual or remote models, could last a full semester or even longer depending on the needs of the host entity. Nontraditional Advance Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs), which can also be promoted on the Network, typically are 4 to 6 weeks in length.
