Diagnosis and prescribing are no longer on the margins for pharmacy practice, but explicitly called out in the ACPE Standards that guide pharmacy education. Once considered out of bounds for pharmacists, diagnostic reasoning is now central to preparing practice-ready graduates. This episode explores how preceptors can support learners in applying clinical decision-making frameworks, integrating shared decision-making, and navigating prescriptive authority across diverse practice settings—equipping the next generation of pharmacists for expanded patient care.
Upon successful completion of this course, pharmacy preceptors should be able to:
1. Describe key principles of diagnostic reasoning and prescribing within the context of pharmacy practice.
2. Identify evidence-based frameworks such as the One-Minute Preceptor and shared decision-making to support learner development in clinical settings.
