Developing Our Teaching Skills as Preceptors: Building Critical Reasoning and Mentoring for Lifelong Success ​

Great precepting goes beyond teaching facts—it’s about shaping thinking and supporting growth. This interactive session equips preceptors with practical strategies to foster strong clinical reasoning, adapt to generational learning differences, and mentor pharmacy learners through both professional and personal challenges. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to help develop well-rounded practitioners who can navigate not only complex clinical decisions but also the day-to-day work of a clinical pharmacist by managing projects, personal responsibilities, and patient care simultaneously.
