Pharmacist Preceptor Written 1 credit hour

Professionalism is a core expectation of pharmacy practice, and preceptors play a critical role in helping pharmacy students and residents understand and meet that standard. This course explores how professionalism is defined, how unprofessional conduct can be addressed within academic and experiential settings, and the legal considerations involved in disciplinary actions. By gaining clarity on your responsibilities as a preceptor, you’ll be better prepared to guide learners, uphold professional standards, and protect both your practice site and your license.
