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).
