Comparison of full-time faculty preceptor and volunteer preceptor evaluations of experiential students.

Introduction: Oftentimes, students believe that faculty preceptors have different expectations than volunteer preceptors during experiential rotations. Despite this perception, there is no published data reporting the actual differences in volunteer and faculty evaluations. This study determined if students placed with volunteer preceptors experience a different level of evaluation rigor than students placed with full-time faculty preceptors on advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).

Implementation of a Pediatric Pharmacy Education Program at a Community Regional Medical Center.

Objectives: This study aimed to implement a web-based pediatric education program designed for pharmacists who participate in neonatal and pediatric order verification at a community-based health system and to evaluate the success through measuring outcomes related to both comfort and competence of pharmacists in pediatric and neonatal pharmacotherapy.

Methods: This prospective quality improvement study assessed changes in confidence and competence from before to after education. Eight educational modules were designed to provide education based on the needs of this institution.

Escape from the usual: Development and implementation of an 'escape room' activity to assess team dynamics.

Background And Purpose: Today's pharmacists must be "team-ready." While team-based learning is ubiquitous in pharmacy education, little data exists for fostering team-building skills in healthcare education. This study evaluates the effect of an escape room-themed team-building exercise on pharmacy student experiences and perceptions of working in teams using StrengthsFinder 2.
