Preceptor Newsletter September 10, 2021
A new way to communicate with our preceptors We are excited to start a new school year with our new Preceptor Newsletter!Moving beyond a quarterly email with a file, we are happy to modernize with a more frequent, emailembedded newsletter with timely, relevant, and interesting content.
For rotations that have virtual activities, project days, or off-site work, schedule "Check In/Check Out" with your student every day to keep accountability, be available for questions, and monitor progress. Enhance rotation reflection with "Story Slam" at the end of the rotation. Have the student answer these 3 questions: What was an awkward or uncomfortable professional experience during this rotation? What was an experience that validated pharmacy as your chosen profession? What was an experience that you wish could have been changed during this rotation?

Class of 2025 White Coat Ceremony The class of 2025 received their new white coats following orientation on August 23, 2021. Dr. Missy O’Dell, the assistant director of pharmacy and clinical pharmacist at Patrick B. Harris Psychiatric Hospital in Anderson and a member of the pharmacy school’s first graduating class presented the incoming class with words of wisdom, enthusiastic encouragement, and a few challenges. The inaugural recipient of the PCSP Alumni of the Year award told students to get their white coats dirty. “As you each receive your beautiful white coat, they will be crisp, clean, pristine and bright,” she said. “Think of this white coat as a clean slate. The next four years of your life will show up on this white coat. It will get dirty and wrinkled with the hard work you put into your lab classes and the rotations you go on. It may even need a little mending. “Listen, some of y’all may even need a replacement. And Hallelujah. I pray all these things happen because this will be evidence of your learning, growth and experiences. It will show your fearlessness and dedication to join this great profession.” Full story here....
