“…Multiple studies cite the value learners bring to institutions such as practice model and pharmacy services improvement, increased scholarly dissemination, cost avoidance and savings. [39][40][41][42][43] However, little is known regarding the impact of precepting behaviors and time spent teaching on patient care and institutional outcomes. Maximizing preceptor time is a complex issue that may require multiple solutions in collaboration with sites.…”

Objective. To describe preceptor teaching challenges and preceptor development programming design preferences through a qualitative needs assessment. Methods. In 2018, 148 experiential education stakeholders across North Carolina (eg, preceptors, residency program directors, experiential faculty administrators, and practice site administrators) were invited to participate in 60-minute semi-structured interviews as part of a broad preceptor development needs assessment. Interview questions focused on:(1) precepting challenges, (2) positive and negative features of preceptor development programs and, (3) preferences of program design. Interview transcripts were coded using thematic analysis. Results. Forty-two participants completed interviews, including preceptors from various rotation types, residency program directors, experiential faculty administrators, and institution administrators. Participants identified numerous teaching challenges related to learner, preceptor, and institutional levels. Example responses from these groups included challenging teaching and learning situations, difficulty self-assessing teaching ability, and increasing institutional demands, respectively. Participants often noted there was inadequate time, resources, and support to effectively teach. Desirable preceptor development program features included practical strategies, collaboration with preceptors, delivery by education and practice experts, and topics specific to precepting experience. Participants identified live, on-demand, and webinar formats as acceptable if collaboration and engagement were included. Participants also desired unique training opportunities such as online platforms, coaching programs, and simulated learning environments. Conclusion.Preceptors face numerous teaching challenges and require sufficient time, support, and resources to develop their skills. Participants requested training that included on-demand, frequent sessions delivered through various modalities, collaboration opportunities, a choice in topics and delivery formats, and sessions from educational and practice experts.

Practice-related projects and pharmacy practice research are requirements to complete postgraduate pharmacy residency programs. Many residents will complete residencies without fully developing the skills needed to perform research required for new clinical and academic positions. Many studies have quantified successes and identified characteristics that may be associated with successful resident publication. There are many benefits to gaining research and publication skills during residency training for the resident, preceptor/mentors, and the residency program. Published works have also suggested approaches than can be taken to improve research within a residency program. The aims of this article are to discuss the publication rates of resident research projects, suggest ways to improve residency research, review benefits of residency research, and briefly review research training alternatives.
