On November 06, 2023, GMU College of Pharmacy organized a session on Teamwork in collaboration with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy. Preceptor Showcase is a series of pharmacy preceptor development sessions, the first session was on Rotation Orientation, the second was on Rotation Tasks/Objectives, the third was Student Reflection, and the fourth was Preceptor Feedback. A systematic selection of topics ensures the necessary competencies for pharmacists. In addition, this series aims to showcase expert regional and international preceptors sharing their experiences on how preceptors can address the core requirements of student experiential learning.
Over 150 participants from multiple countries, especially the Middle East, attended the preceptor showcase 5. Participants included pharmacists from community and hospital settings as well as clinical pharmacists. In addition, pharmacy academicians participated in the session, especially those involved in experiential education.
Prof. Sherief Khalifa, Dean College of Pharmacy, Gulf Medical University commented; “We are truly grateful to the expert speakers for summarizing their experiences in relation to teamwork in experiential education. All the sessions were very beneficial and the feedback from pharmacists and preceptors of the audience was amazing. We are all looking forward to the next preceptor showcase”.
