Which of the following activities would NOT typically count for internship hours?

Internship hours are designed to provide students with practical experience in the field of pharmacy that directly contributes to their professional skill set and understanding of pharmacy operations. Typically, activities that involve direct patient care, pharmacy practice, or assisting in clinical environments are credited toward these hours because they enhance the intern's ability to interact with patients and understand the medication management process.

Administrative tasks, while important for the overall functioning of a pharmacy, often do not involve direct engagement with pharmacological practice or patient care. These tasks may include filing paperwork, handling inventory management, or other non-clinical duties, which do not contribute significantly to the core competencies required for a pharmacist. Therefore, while these activities may be useful in providing a comprehensive understanding of pharmacy operations, they do not usually count toward the required internship hours that focus on developing the intern’s clinical skills and knowledge in direct patient care environments.
