AB  - Experiential education is an essential component of pharmacy education in order 
      to allow intern students to experience real conditions and training opportunities 
      in different inpatient and outpatient settings. This paper provides a description 
      of the pharmacy practice experiences (PPEs) in the Lebanese International 
      University (LIU) 5-year bachelor of pharmacy (BPharm) and postgraduate doctor of 
      pharmacy (PharmD) programs; focuses on the opportunities and challenges 
      encountered; and presents a model for experiential education in Lebanon. Learning 
      outcomes and thus students' acquisition of predefined competencies are evaluated 
      in actual practice settings through assessment tools. Our experiential education 
      program aligns with the accreditation/certification criteria set by the 
      Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and equips future pharmacists 
      with the knowledge and skills to become major components in the healthcare team.
