The goal of our student program is to advance the student’s ability to provide patient care through hands-on experiences. Students will work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide optimal pharmaceutical care for patients. ## Rotation Locations **Bay Area Hospitals** **Valley Area Hospitals** **Additional Locations** ### Bay Area Hospitals - Greater San Francisco – San Francisco ([CPMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location-results?facets=%5B%7B%22i%22%3A%22c_locationType%22%2C%22v%22%3A%5B%22Hospital%22%5D%7D%5D&query=%22cpmc%22&verticalKey=healthcare_facilities)), [Novato](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/novato-community-hospital-1043246701), [Santa Rosa](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-santa-rosa-regional-hospital-1043247018), Clear Lake ([Lakeside](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-lakeside-hospital-1043247026)) - Greater East Bay – Oakland, Berkeley ([ABSMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/alta-bates-summit-medical-center-alta-bates-campus-1043246519)), Castro Valley ([Sutter Eden](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/eden-medical-center-1043246538)), Antioch ([Sutter Delta](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-delta-medical-center-1043246751)) - Greater Silicon Valley – Burlingame, San Mateo ([MPMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/mills-peninsula-medical-center-1043246780)), [Santa Cruz](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/santa-cruz-center-1043247417) **Bay Area Hospitals** ### Bay Area Hospitals - Greater San Francisco – San Francisco ([CPMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location-results?facets=%5B%7B%22i%22%3A%22c_locationType%22%2C%22v%22%3A%5B%22Hospital%22%5D%7D%5D&query=%22cpmc%22&verticalKey=healthcare_facilities)), [Novato](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/novato-community-hospital-1043246701), [Santa Rosa](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-santa-rosa-regional-hospital-1043247018), Clear Lake ([Lakeside](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-lakeside-hospital-1043247026)) - Greater East Bay – Oakland, Berkeley ([ABSMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/alta-bates-summit-medical-center-alta-bates-campus-1043246519)), Castro Valley ([Sutter Eden](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/eden-medical-center-1043246538)), Antioch ([Sutter Delta](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-delta-medical-center-1043246751)) - Greater Silicon Valley – Burlingame, San Mateo ([MPMC](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/mills-peninsula-medical-center-1043246780)), [Santa Cruz](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/santa-cruz-center-1043247417) **Valley Area Hospitals** ### Valley Area Hospitals - Greater Central Valley – [Modesto (MMC)](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/memorial-medical-center-1043246633), [Los Banos](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/memorial-hospital-los-banos-1043246682), [Tracy](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-tracy-community-hospital-1043246708) - Greater Sacramento – Sacramento ([SMCS](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-medical-center-anderson-lucchetti-women-s-children-s-center-1043246781), [Sutter Center for Psychiatry](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-center-for-psychiatry-1043246594)), [Davis](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-davis-hospital-1043246737), [Solano](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-solano-medical-center-1043247106), [Amador](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-amador-hospital-1043246712), [Auburn](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-auburn-faith-hospital-1043247093), [Roseville](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-roseville-medical-center-1043247063), Crescent City ([Sutter Coast](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/sutter-coast-hospital-1043246975)) **Additional Locations** ### Additional Locations - Sutter Health System Office - [Sutter eICU](https://vitals.sutterhealth.org/two-decades-one-big-step-toward-defining-the-future-of-virtual-patient-care/) - [Sutter Care at Home – Sutter Infusion Pharmacy Services (SIPS)](https://www.sutterhealth.org/services/home-health-hospice-locations) - [Virtual Ambulatory Care Clinic (VPACC)](https://www.sutterhealth.org/services/heart-failure#virtual) Rotations Offered **IPPE (Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences)**  During the first three years of the Doctor of Pharmacy program, students will engage in part-time Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs) to begin their journey into professional pharmacy work.
