Preceptor development is a topic rarely covered in pharmacy education, although pharmacists across the country are routinely asked to give back to their profession by precepting student and resident learners. Resources exist to help preceptors gain the skills and understand the theories of experiential education, but they are scattered across numerous sources, presented in an academic tone, or not comprehensive in nature. As such, the quality of precepting can vary significantly from practitioner to practitioner.
Designed to serve as a users guide for new and experienced preceptors of both residents and experiential students, The Effective Pharmacy Preceptor offers insight to common precepting scenarios and is organized by the timeline and tasks associated with a resident or students experience.
