Abstract
With the expansion of pharmacy clinical services in emergency departments nationwide comes a growing opportunity for experiential education in this setting. This article discusses the introduction of pharmacy residents and students into the emergency department at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) in Chicago, Illinois. We address the challenges faced with the implementation of experiential education, the specific roles of the trainees to extend clinical pharmacy services in the department, the pharmacist precepting model employed at NMH, and the creation of structured rotational experiences. Alignment with educational and experiential requirements is highlighted throughout.
