Inpatient DPC Rotations at UHN Inpatient rotations at UHN will typically consist of two 5-week rotations in a row (10 weeks total) in order to support continuity of student learning at the hospital site. The two rotations may be in a different practice area. At TG, TW, and PM, rotations will be on two different units with two different preceptors from the same clinical team At TRI, rotations will be 10 weeks on the same unit with the same preceptor Exceptions: certain specialty rotations (e.g. Antimicrobial Stewardship) are offered as 5-week rotations On RxPreceptor, a clinical site leader may be listed as the rotation preceptor for many available rotations. In that case, the placement will be with a pharmacist on that site leader s clinical team and will be assigned closer to the rotation date.
