Reflections on an evolving pharmacist professional identity from two pharmacy educators.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe the Professional Identity Formation (PIF) journeys of two Experiential Education (EE) Directors in a reflective narrative.

Description: Using the "What? So What? Now What?" model of reflection, this manuscript will describe the experiences of two EE administrators as they reflect upon the various pivotal moments of their career and professional transitions.

Analysis/interpretation: As pharmacy educators seek to be purposeful and intentional about guiding their students' journeys to form their own professional identities, they must first be willing to engage in their own self-reflection to explore their own journeys.

Background And Purpose: Colleges and schools of pharmacy and residency programs must be engaged in the purposeful development of their preceptors. Preceptor development needs vary widely from a new preceptor needing foundational preceptor skills to a more experienced preceptor who may wish to incorporate more sophisticated precepting methods such as layered learning or interprofessional precepting. It can be challenging to create preceptor development activities that meet these varied needs and keep preceptors of all levels engaged.
