Developing entry-level competencies in sterile product preparation: an emerging challenge for pharmacy schools and experiential practice sites.

Purpose: Factors influencing the decision of hospital experiential sites to allow advanced pharmacy practice education (APPE) students to compound parenteral admixtures during their rotation experience were evaluated.

Methods: A survey was sent via e-mail to APPE sites used by Illinois Pharmacy Coalition schools in spring 2011. One preceptor from each site was identified to complete the survey.
