On March 10, 2022, an internal preceptor development event was conducted for the GMU College of Pharmacy employed preceptors. The event was mostly focused on identifying areas of improvement in PharmD APPE evaluation form. A taskforce was created to incorporate missing elements if any in the new UAE competency framework. The event also had active discussions on applying best practices learned from the GMU conducted conference “Quality Measurement in Health Professions Education Revisiting the Metrics” February 25-27, 2022.
Prof. Sherief Khalifa, Vice Chancellor for Quality & Global Engagement and Dean, College of Pharmacy, Gulf Medical University commented: The experiential education component of the PharmD curriculum continues to be a rich area that lends itself to quality improvement in terms of delivery and assessment. Now that we have preceptors with pharmacy practice and preceptor experience in the UK, Lebanese American University and Lebanese International University, sharing best practices will for sure lead to quality improvement”.
