INTERNATIONAL PHARMACY GRADUATE
PRECEPTOR MANUAL
Funded in partnership by:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada and
Alberta Employment and Immigration
Mandate
The Bredin Institute – Centre for Learning developed a
Preceptor Manual, the goal of which is to define a best practices approach to
integrating and effectively supporting the transition of internationally
trained pharmacists into the Canadian workplace.
Function
The Preceptor Manual provides preceptors with a:
-
Practical hands-on
tool that addresses cultural diversity as it pertains to pharmacy
practice
-
Number of suggested
activities to assist IPGs in becoming familiar with the Canadian
pharmacy environment
-
Checklist that
outlines necessary activities and competencies for internship, with a
focus on skill building for international students, complementing
the Alberta College of Pharmacists Internship Manual
-
Selection of
evaluation tools for use during internship
The tools and concepts in the manual are also highlighted in a
companion Student Manual.
Launch
The Preceptor Manual was launched June 14, 2006, along with a
face-to-face training workshop for preceptors based on the manual’s
content. The manual was piloted over the summer of 2006 with that
intake's International Pharmacy Bridging Program students as they began their
Alberta College of Pharmacists internship. Evaluation feedback was
then collected in late summer/early fall from both preceptors and students, revisions
were made based upon these results, and the manual was then made
publicly available through the Bredin Institute’s website for viewing
and downloading.
