Preceptor Development
Our preceptors play a valuable role in our overall student experience. Preceptor pharmacy sites work with our students providing a glimpse of what it is like to work on a pharmacy team. Through clinical rotations, students are exposed to a variety of scenarios in which they learn about medication management, patient relations, and the vital role that pharmacists play in overall health care.
Continuing Education Programs Available
We can provide on-site continuing education (CE) preceptor development programs for many of our clinical sites. If you bring ten or more pharmacists together for a CE (lunch or dinner), we will come to you to provide the CE credit focused on improving the skills involved with precepting students on clinical rotations. Contact us at oee@westernu.edu for more information about these programs.
