Abstract

Preceptor participation in scholarly endeavors is recognized in the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists's (ASHP) residency accreditation standards as a method to demonstrate commitment and contribute to the profession of pharmacy. Although workplace demands and position responsibilities may not allow adequate time for preceptors to pursue scholarly activities, collaboration with pharmacy residents in a structured environment can be mutually beneficial and aid in the professional development of the resident and preceptor. The goal of this article is to provide preceptors with a description of activities suitable for collaboration with residents and with tips to ensure success within the residency year.
