UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Preceptor Development Program

The School of Pharmacy has implemented the Training Pharmacy Preceptors workshop that preceptors must attend during their first or second year in the Professional Experience Program. The workshop is offered twice a year (in spring and fall) in Chapel Hill and consists of a full day structured, interactive educational session that addresses

1. Setting expectations
2. Motivating students
3. Precepting practice
4. Evaluating students and providing feedback

Seven hours of CE credit is provided. Enrollment is limited to 25. Registrants must be an approved UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy preceptor at the time of registration. 

The process to become an approved preceptor begins when the pharmacist contacts both the AHEC and the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Professional Experience Program to discuss their interest in becoming a preceptor. This is followed by the completion of profile forms and development of a practice experience syllabus.

In addition, the Professional Experience Program provides educational support to preceptors through a web-based self-study module, The Expert Preceptor Interactive Curriculum.  Preceptor training opportunities are often available locally at the AHEC.
