5 Tips for Effective Written Evaluations
Providing your learner with formal, written feedback is an invaluable part of the student’s rotation experience. These evaluations are essential to a learner’s continued growth as they work toward becoming life-long learners and trusted healthcare providers.
This video details five tips to help you write specific, objective, observable, and actionable evaluations.
Trust & Autonomy
As a preceptor, you guide, challenge, and create growth opportunities—but when should you grant more autonomy? How do you build trust while ensuring quality patient care?
Building Trust: The Foundation of Autonomy
Granting autonomy starts with trust—trust in your ability to assess readiness and in your learner’s ability to ask for help when needed. Trust is influenced by your experience, the learner’s strengths and weaknesses, and the task at hand. Understanding these dynamics is key to knowing when and how much autonomy to offer.
Setting Expectations
As pharmacy preceptors, one of the most important things we can do to ensure a successful rotation is to set clear expectations for our learners. This not only creates a structured environment but also prevents confusion and reduces learner apprehension. This Preceptor Insight video will guide you through how to set expectations from day one, all the way to addressing any unmet expectations.
