Precepting Testimonials The ASHP Section of Pharmacy Educators is collecting short, pharmacy preceptor video testimonials to promote student and resident precepting. Submitted videos will be used to promote the importance of precepting for pharmacy professionals and highlight the value learners bring to pharmacy practice advancement. Videos will cover four key themes outlined below. Why did you choose to become a preceptor? What is the most fulfilling part of being a preceptor? How have you leveraged learners to help expand practice at your site?
How have your learners brought value and/or contributed to research at your site? Please create your video to speak to one or more of these categories. Your video will be spliced with other members' videos to create a compelling story. Please submit your video by April 1, 2022. To submit your video, please use the following link: ashp.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXbeBYdvvSmL4aO
Journal Monitor There’s a lot in the literature about trends and improvements in experiential education. So we’ve created an easy way for you to keep up: The Journal Monitor. In each preceptor newsletter, we’ll provide you a brief look at some current articles. And we’ll provide the source information as well so you can take a look at the entire article yourself.
This letter, in response to "Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on training of pharmacy residents and fellows: results from a national survey of postgraduate pharmacy trainees" by Moore, et al., continues the conversation about how experiential education changed during and through the pandemic.
Addressing pharmacy training expectations and the preceptor perspective: Essential components to COVID-19 training adjustments
The first article addressed precepting issues including working from home, less direct patient care, less time spent with preceptors, and a trainee's perception of a lower quality experience. In this response, the authors challenge that the group of learners impacted by the first wave of COVID-19 may have better training in autonomy and independence as a result of the pandemic. It concludes that preceptors should support the wellbeing of trainees through flexibility, open communication, and an understanding of outside complications and pressures.
