Traumatic patient interactions may not occur very often, depending on where you practice, but they are important teaching opportunities on many levels. It’s not just how you navigate trauma with a pharmacy learner that matters, but how you support them in processing what has occurred.

In this episode, we bring together a preceptor and her former resident for an impactful conversation on how to best assess, navigate, and process traumatic patient interactions with pharmacy residents or student pharmacists, and how those learnings transfer to other areas of pharmacy practice after the fact.

In this episode, we tackle a whole range of issues – how to assess and meet our pharmacy residents and student pharmacists where they are, the challenges of maintaining guardrails while providing flexibility, and the responsibility we have as preceptors to stay abreast of best practices not only clinically, but as teachers and mentors so that we can make changes to our precepting practice when they are needed.

Guest, Kelly Erdos is the Residency Program Director at Banner Baywood Medical Center in Mesa, AZ. She shares several great examples of how small adjustments in our precepting practice can have a big impact on our learners and ourselves. Tune in to hear more!
