An online continuing professional development (CPD) program positively impacted pharmacy preceptors' clinical teaching skills. The program enhanced communication, student connection, and resource development, warranting further dissemination.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Continuing Professional Development
Background:
- An online continuing professional development (CPD) program was developed to support pharmacy preceptors in creating individualized clinical teaching development plans.
- The program aimed to enhance preceptors' abilities and techniques for teaching students in clinical settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the preceptor-reported impact of an online CPD program on pharmacy preceptors' clinical teaching skills.
- To assess changes implemented by preceptors and their overall teaching impact.
Main Methods:
- A follow-up survey was administered to preceptors who participated in the online CPD program.
- The survey included questions on CPD plan completion and open-ended questions on teaching impact, with responses categorized for analysis.
Main Results:
- 52% of preceptors fully implemented and 39% partially implemented their CPD plans.
- 92% of preceptors reported a positive impact on their clinical teaching.
- Skill development was most notable in communication/educational skills (45%), student-teacher connection (33%), and educational resources development (33%).
Conclusions:
- The online precepting CPD program demonstrated a positive, preceptor-reported impact on clinical teaching.
- Further investigation and dissemination of this program are recommended to enhance pharmacy education.
