"Preventing and Managing Difficult Learning Situations"
on Tuesday, July 31st, at 12PM Eastern/11AM Central/10AM Mountain/9AM Pacific
REGISTER NOW: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/252260576
CE CREDIT: 1 hour Preceptor Live CE credit (Please note this is an encore presentation of a course with an initial release date in January 2011. You can only receive CE credit for this program once.)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Difficult learning situations in clinical teaching may arise from academic dishonesty, attitude issues, communication mishaps with patients, conflict over grades or final evaluation, and many other causes. Although these types of situations occur infrequently, it is important for preceptors to be prepared in the event they do occur. Preceptors can benefit from a clearly outlined strategy for detecting problems, managing issues early, and preventing a negative outcome from an existing conflict. This course reviews steps for preventing and managing difficult learning situations and provides practical tips for providing feedback and managing conflict in a difficult situation.

"Developing Clinical Skills of Students and Residents"
on Thursday, August 16th, at 12PM Eastern/11AM Central/10AM Mountain/9AM Pacific
REGISTER NOW: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/641865568
CE CREDIT: 1 hour Preceptor Live CE credit (Please note this is an encore presentation of a course with an initial release date in April 2012. You can only receive CE credit for this program once.)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Student pharmacists and pharmacy residents gain a vast amount of didactic knowledge during their formal pharmacy education, but may not appreciate how to apply this information in practice. Preceptors play a crucial role in teaching students and residents how to utilize this knowledge appropriately when faced with clinical problems. This activity will review the preceptor's role in cultivating the clinical problem solving skills of student pharmacists and pharmacy residents based on the needs of the learner, and will describe methods for preceptors to effectively integrate the development of these skills into daily practice.
