“…This cross-sectional study was a part of the KPA nationwide surveys of community pharmacy preceptors' and preceptees' views on practical training conducted in 2017 (Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2019;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2021). Initially, the authors developed the KPA nationwide survey instrument by reviewing previous literature and utilising KPA reports (Korean Pharmaceutical Association Statistics about Pharmacists (2017) and guidelines (Lee et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2016).…”

“…In 2017, the Korean Pharmaceutical Association (KPA) conducted two nationwide surveys of community pharmacy preceptors' and preceptees' views on practical training. The present study draws on data gathered from these previous surveys and focuses on the importance and performance of the preceptors' role, which was not covered in the previous two studies (Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2019;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2021). This nested study sought to investigate, compare, and analyse the perceptions of students and preceptors regarding the importance and performance of the preceptors' role at community pharmacies.…”

“…The goal of practical training in pharmacy education is to connect theory and practice so that students can apply what they have learned in school and fulfil professional duties at work. The role of preceptors in community pharmacies is therefore essential under Korea's community pharmacy experiential practice (CPEP) programme (Lee et al, 2013;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2021). Various studies have emphasised the importance of the community pharmacy preceptors' role (Kim, 2012;Saramunee et al, 2014;Zeitoun et al, 2020;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2021).…”

“…In South Korea, the pharmacy education system has changed from a four-year programme to a six (two + four)-year programme since 2014 (KAPE, 2015;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2021). In the newly implemented pharmacy education system, most Korean pharmacy students practice for 200 hours for core advanced pharmacy practice education (APPE) and 600 hours for elective APPE at community pharmacies, although this varies from school to school ( Lee et al, 2016;Kim, Jeong, & Kim, 2019).…”

This study compared students’ and preceptors’ perceptions of the latter’s role importance and performance during community pharmacy experiential practice (CPEP) under the newly implemented two + four-year programme in South Korea. This cross-sectional study was based on two nationwide surveys and adopted importance–performance analysis (IPA) and multivariate analysis. A total of 390 preceptors and 1138 preceptees of CPEP participated. Overall evaluation was positive in both groups. Students rated the importance of the preceptors’ role higher than preceptors did (average gap: 0.13). Further, students rated their performance lower than preceptors (average gap: −0.22). In IPA, both considered that the “pharmacists’ ethics adherence” was crucial and that their performance was great, while they regarded “systematically organising practice activities” as highly important with low performance. Students regarded preceptors as “being a role model or mentor” (3.56/4.0) but evaluated their performance as low (3.12/4.0). More efforts are needed to reduce discrepancies between preceptors and students in CPEP.
