Ace the Wisconsin MPJE 2025 – Master Pharmacy Laws & Rule the Exam!

In most cases, students can start a non-academic internship after the completion of the first year of pharmacy school. This timing allows students to have a foundational understanding of pharmacy practice before gaining hands-on experience in a professional setting. Starting an internship after the first year also gives students the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to real-life pharmacy scenarios. It is important for students to have a solid grasp of pharmacy basics and laws before beginning any internships, which is why waiting until after the first year is typically the best timing for these experiences.

Options B, C, and D are not the correct choices because starting an internship after the completion of the second year (Option B) may delay practical learning opportunities, obtaining a pharmacy technician license (Option C) is not typically a prerequisite for a non-academic pharmacy internship, and waiting until after graduation from pharmacy school (Option D) could be too late to gain valuable on-the-job experience during the academic program.
