“…However, the less tangible benefits may, in fact, be more important to pharmacist preceptors. 3,4 The perceived benefit of precepting student pharmacists has been explored in the literature but only to a limited extent. 3,5,6 Additional studies that provide greater understanding of pharmacists' perceptions regarding the intangible rewards of precepting would be of great value in recruiting and retaining preceptors.…”

Objectives. To examine the perceived benefit of job and career satisfaction among pharmacist preceptors and to explore other factors that might influence satisfaction. Methods. A cross-sectional self-administered survey instrument was mailed to pharmacists in the South Central region of the United States who had active 2010 licenses to investigate whether being a pharmacist preceptor increases job and career satisfaction. Results. Twenty-three percent of the 363 respondents were active preceptors and 62% of these reported that they had been preceptors at some point in the past. Being an active preceptor was significantly related to increased job satisfaction ( p 5 0.01) but not to career satisfaction. Having a perceived benefit of continuing education and being professionally challenged at work also were associated with increased job and career satisfaction ( p , 0.001). Conclusions. Pharmacist preceptors have higher levels of self-reported job satisfaction.

“…11 Ironically, 1 study of medical preceptors in Iowa found that the desire for library instruction (training in accessing medical literature databases) was greater than database access itself (71% vs. 49% respectively). 10 While the basic instructional video was not popular, given the reports from medical preceptors previously mentioned, the next step of this service might be to provide remote library instruction and information literacy to preceptors.…”

“…In fact, pharmacists chose access to library resources as being highly valued in greater numbers than any other incentive among any other profession. 11 Granting library access is a potential tool for recruitment and retention of participating preceptors and is viewed generally as one of the most important tangible rewards related to precepting. 12 Library access can be viewed as compensation for precepting.…”

Objective. To institute and evaluate the response to a program providing access to electronic library resources for pharmacy preceptors. Design. The pharmacy experiential office and the library collaborated using existing programs and technology to provide and market secure remote access for preceptors. Assessment. Preceptor participation was tracked in the experiential office, and response to the program was assessed using an online survey instrument that included questions about use of and preference for specific library resources. Three hundred thirty-four adjunct faculty members registered, representing 34% of all preceptors with active e-mail accounts. Conclusion. Preceptor participation in the program exceeded expectations. Some minor flaws in the logistics of delivering the service were identified and remedied.

“…The majority of studies of CF have been limited in scope and focused primarily on the benefits that they value for teaching [4,7,10]. Our study, however, was designed to better understanding this valuable group of educators by (1) defining the current status of the CF shortage, (2) determining what incentives medical schools offer to recruit and retain CF, and (3) determining the scope of faculty development (FD) provided by medical schools to CF.…”

Objective: Many medical schools in the US are experiencing difficulty maintaining sufficient ambulatory pediatric training sites for their students. The goals of this study were to assess the incentives, reward, and faculty development (FD) opportunities provided for pediatricians serving as community faculty (CF) teaching in pediatric clerkships in the US. Materials and Methods: A 10-question prospective survey of the membership of the Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics incorporated into the organization's 2014 annual survey. Results: Representatives from 92% (111/121) of U.S. medical schools responded to the study. 79% of medical schools utilize CF to teach pediatrics. 82% of respondents were having difficulty recruiting and retaining pediatricians to teach students. 39% of medical schools provided monetary stipends for teaching. 68% of schools provided FD for their CF. Conclusion: The majority of schools rely on non-monetary incentives to recruit and retain their CF. As compared to previous studies, more medical schools are offering financial stipends. Most schools, but not all, offer some form of FD training for their CF. There is a wide variation in the scope of FD training provided to community physicians that teach medical students.
