Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas Longitudinal Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (LAPPE)
About Us
The Longitudinal Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (LAPPE) Program at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas (BHSET) in Beaumont, TX was established in 2022. We aim to provide fourth-year student pharmacists with a structured longitudinal training program through integrated clinical experiences, longitudinal experience programs, and professional and scholarship activities. During this program, LAPPE students will work closely with clinical pharmacists to advance their clinical knowledge, conduct a research project, and interact with multidisciplinary teams that include pharmacy and medical residents as well as other hospital professionals. In addition, our LAPPE students develop their professional skills with participation in the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, patient counseling programs, a formal mentorship program, and more. Our goal is to prepare our LAPPE students to be competitive applicants for their choice of post-graduate endeavors.
