Experiential Education

Assessment

Failure to Fail – A Nationwide Survey of Preceptor’s Decision Making for Underperforming Experiential Students

Monday, July 22, 2024
3:30 PM – 4:30 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Hynes 202
CE: 1.00

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Describe the concept and prevalence of failure to fail within US pharmacy experiential education
  • Identify barriers to preceptors assigning a failing grade in the experiential setting and factors affecting willingness to report poor clinical performance
  • Implement solutions that assist preceptors in supporting underperforming students and in determining a final grade
Underperformance in experiential settings is a complex issue that remains largely unseen due to "failure to fail.” There are documented factors that assist preceptors in upholding competency objectives, but barriers do exist. In this session, speakers will provide an overview of failure to fail in pharmacy experiential education, review results from a recent nationwide survey of pharmacy preceptors and suggest solutions that assist preceptors in supporting underperforming students and in determining a final grade.
