The Clinical Administration PRN Educational Programming Committee plans to develop an education session focused on fundamental topics of interest to Clinical Administration PRN members. Burnout during the pandemic has adversely affected the clinical pharmacy workforce to an unprecedented level. Maintenance of that workforce has become a top priority. Specific topics will include: 1. Recruitment – Strategies for successful recruitment of clinical pharmacists and other members of the pharmacy department. Specific topics include writing job summaries for online postings, interview questions, candidate selection, and identification of interviewers. 2. On-boarding new staff – Development of checklists and competencies that are critical to orient and train new staff. Measures of success of an on-boarding program include reduced turnover and increased staff engagement. 3. Succession planning – A framework for identifying and developing talent and leadership from within a current pharmacy department. Successful succession planning allows for seamless transitions as leaders leave an organization. This also allows for resiliency for unexpected leaves or departures.
