The board may recognize for purposes of Section 2 above internship hours completed outside of an IPPE or APPE in a non-traditional practice setting (e.g., industry-sponsored programs, manufacturer's sales representative, physician's office) upon a consideration of the complexity and diversity of the work performed, the nature and amount of supervision provided, the recommendation of the pharmacist in charge or supervising pharmacist, and the overall suitability of the non-traditional practice setting as preparation for the practice of pharmacy. The number of non-traditional hours to be recognized lies in the discretion of the board.
