  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Preceptors are crucial for training pharmacy students.
  • There is a need for effective continuing professional education (CPE) programs for pharmacists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a 3-month pharmacy CPE program's impact on learning and behavior.
  • To assess short- and long-term outcomes for current and potential preceptors.

Main Methods:

  • An interactive, curricular-based CPE program with pre-readings and workshops was implemented.
  • Learning and behavior were assessed using pretests, posttests, and follow-up surveys.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in test scores was observed from pretest to posttest.
