P3 & P4 Students

If you want to take the Naplex as soon as possible or do really well on your APPE rotations, I suggest studying from the most current RxPrep (or whatever resources you want to use) dated for the year that you plan on taking the Naplex during your rotations, starting with the chapters most related to your rotations first (obviously), then on the bigger chapters listed below, then the smaller chapters. This is most critical for those looking to apply for residency or wanting to get licensed ASAP. Otherwise, you may make your study schedule on your own. Below are useful tools for you to use during your rotations and in practice:

• Medical and Medication History Form (Updated 6/2/2024. 32 pages total): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1344YAxQJ7VlIHdzE0BocCZkgKa5jRufj/view?usp=sharing 

  • Very useful tool in personal practice, MTMs, pharmacotherapeutics patient cases, and APPE rotations.

  • Fully fillable PDF and very complete.

  • Has a button at the top-right corner of the first page that allows you to clear the info from the entire form all at once with just one click! How easy is that? → If you want to save your data, just use the “Save As” and rename the file.

  • Each section is bookmarked for easy navigation, so you don’t have to manually scroll through 32 pages.

  • Sections include:

    • Medical history

    • Medication history (5 pages, but I doubt you need that many unless it is for long-term inpatient)

    • Labs (for 14 days)

    • SOAP Notes (fits 10 identifiable “problems”)

• PharmGuides: http://pharmguides.com/app/categories/ 

• APhA Clinical Guidelines: https://www.pharmacist.com/clinical-guidelines 

Please note the type of learning that works best for you. If you are someone who struggles with retaining information, you should start early so you have enough time to review enough times to absorb the material. If you are someone who procrastinates a lot, please plan your study schedule wisely and effectively.
