Author: Bulthuis, Alisha; Riley, Heidi
Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate an online preceptor education module for pharmacy preceptors at the University of Arizona.
Methods: A computer-based preceptor teaching program was developed and made available online. In order to evaluate this program, a focus group was conducted with pharmacy preceptors from the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System. Additionally, a brief questionnaire collecting demographic data was administered.
Results: A 60-minute computer-based program was developed for teaching microskills (e.g. setting goals and expectations). The seven preceptors who participated in the focus group liked the program design and content. They found the format and subject matter useful in precepting students and found the cases presented to be applicable to students they had encountered. The preceptors also showed interest in future programs of this nature.
Conclusions: Preceptors found a computer module using slides and audio to teach microskills useful and indicated that it would improve their ability to precept students.
