Introduction

Skilled preceptors are crucial to the pharmacy profession as they contribute to the growth and development of student pharmacists and resident pharmacists. As a result, providing education and further growth for preceptors is vital. The purpose of this survey was to determine preceptor development topics of interest and preferred platforms for receiving education.

Methods

A survey was conducted by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Section Advisory Group on Pharmacy Practice Experience Precepting. The survey was designed to identify preceptor needs based on experience and background. Professional development opportunities, tools needed to assist preceptors, and the preferred method of delivery were also determined.

Results

Two hundred seventy-two pharmacists completed the entire 30 question survey. On demand webinars were identified as the preferred method of education delivery. A preceptor tip of the week email was selected as the most favored type of online education resource for preceptors. There was no major difference on the types of online resources for students that preceptors would use. A survey to assist in self-identifying areas for developmental improvement was favored by 81% of respondents.

Conclusions

This needs assessment identified that preceptor development materials are in high demand for all surveyed topic areas provided via live and/or on demand webinars or other virtual means. Accessibility of resources should be highlighted in multiple forums in order to ensure the information reaches all preceptors.
