Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas Longitudinal Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (LAPPE)
About Us
The Longitudinal Clinical Experience Program (LAPPE) at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas (BHSET) was established in 2022 to provide fourth-year student pharmacists with a structured longitudinal training program that consists of integrated clinical experiences, research opportunities, as well as professionalism 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 expand their professional development 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.
