How many total hours of internship are required for an intern in their 4th year?

In Minnesota, the requirement for pharmacy interns is that they must complete a total of 1600 hours of internship before they can apply for licensure as a pharmacist. This requirement is consistent across many states and reflects the expectation that pharmacy students engage in a substantial amount of practical experience to complement their academic education. The 1600 hours allows interns to gain hands-on experience in various pharmacy settings, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide patient care and handle the responsibilities of a licensed pharmacist. This number is specifically designated for those in their fourth year, as it typically aligns with the final stages of their pharmacy education.
