Updated APPE Syllabi? Have you updated your syllabus in the last year? If so, please send the most recent copy to Susi Carbonneau. We keep records of all APPE syllabi as a part of our ACPE accreditation. If you have not previously sent your syllabus to us, you can do that at any time. Syllabi templates are available on the eValue home page and on pcspoee.com (Under "Experiential Tools" when you log in.) If you would like help creating or updating your syllabus, the OEE team is glad to help! Reach out to Mary Douglass Smith (mdsmith@presby.edu).
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 recent commentary highlights three examples of community APPEs that help practices create new sustainable business models. University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences: Student pharmacist served as a facilitator to teach and coach pharmacy staff Rotation projects included: templates and protocols for documenting care plans, point of care testing for influenza and coronavirus, training of staff on "med synch," creation of consulting services, and protocols for USP<800>.
Redefining 'advanced': Supporting and promoting practice change through community advanced pharmacy practice experiences Smith MG, Nuffer W, O'Connor S.

University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences: Student pharmacists streamlined the billing of electronic care plans, documentation of nondispensing services, and created marketing materials and patient education resources. Idaho State University (ISU) Student pharmacists created protocols for selected disease states (UTI, tobacco cessation, cold sores, pink eye) for utilization of independent pharmacist prescribing (Idaho's state practice act allows for the most advanced scope for pharmacy practice in the US) More materials are available (free!) from the NCPA Website: https://ncpa.org/advanced-community-appe-preceptorresources
