THE
Mountaineer Preceptor Summer 2017
Resident Perspective When I arrived in Morgantown to start my PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency with West Vir-
ginia University and Waterfront Family Pharmacy I was only stepping foot in West Virginia for the
second time ever. I had a sense of welcoming, I was ready to explore a completely new place and
to grow my skills and experience within pharmacy practice.
I was excited about the opportunity, especially the people I would be working with each day and the experi-
ences that were available to me as part of the residency program. One of my motivators for completing a resi-
dency was to help to attain my goal of becoming a faculty member one day. Beyond even the responsibilities
of lecturer, I looked forward to offering my skills as a preceptor and a mentor. Along with the other PGY1 resi-
dents at the School of Pharmacy and WVU Medicine, I was able to be a part of a unique teaching certificate
program which included lectures and activities led by various faculty and preceptors. This program allowed us
to learn more about effectively instructing and precepting and prepared us for teaching roles in the future. I
was also able to assist with clinical labs such as compounding and cardiology, give large class lectures in am-
bulatory care IPPE and self-care, co-precept students on ambulatory care rotation with Waterfront Family
Pharmacy, and serve as a faculty advisor for a service learning group. From developing exam questions, to
honing my communication skills, I can definitely say I appreciate all of the help my colleagues and the stu-
dents have given me. My residency certainly allowed me to develop
these skills further, and I could not have asked for better training opportu-
nities.
When I was not at the school and interacting directly with students, I
worked at Waterfront Family Pharmacy. Other than my staffing day on
Fridays, where I focused on the dispensing aspects of the profession, my
residency involved an array of patient care centered activities, pharmacy
management skills, and medication use processes. Some of these activi-
ties included community health fairs, senior center screening events,
medication therapy management appointments, diabetes education ap-
pointments, medication synchronization enrollment, and many others.
The PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency program is set up to be lon-
gitudinal, and residents are involved in all aspects of the residency over
the entire year. It is easy to get behind, so staying organized and on time
are key features of success. Self-motivation and discipline are equally important when completing this type of
a residency.
I was fortunate to complete a few elective experiences as a part of my residency as well. This included time at
the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, WV with anti-coagulation pharmacists. I was able to
learn more about ambulatory care practice warfarin monitoring, as well as responding to patients starting on
new direct oral anticoagulants. The second elective experience I chose was at American Pharmacists Associ-
ation headquarters in Washington, D.C. Following my experience there, I came back to West Virginia even
more inspired to promote pharmacy practice advancement, such as provider status and development of en-
hanced pharmacy services networks.
As my time at West Virginia University has ended, I am moving on to my next year of residency as a PGY2 in
Ambulatory Care. I look forward to carrying all of my West Virginia experiences forward, and I am more than
proud to call myself a Mountaineer.
Zach Pape was the 2016-2017 PGY1 Community Resident serving jointly at the WVU School of Pharmacy as well as
Waterfront Pharmacy in Morgantown, WV. Zach is originally from Cedar Rapids, IA and graduated from Drake Universi-
ty (Des Moines, IA) in 2016.

Preceptor Continuing Education: Upcoming webinar series
WVU School of Pharmacy preceptors are required to complete two hours of preceptor fo-
cused continuing education every two years. (The current reporting period is 7/1/2016-
6/30/2018). For new preceptors, the first of these hours should be the initial Preceptor Ori-
entation CE which is available on the Office Experiential Learning website (http://
pharmacy.hsc.wvu.edu/explearning/information-for-preceptors/preceptor-continuing-
education/preceptor-orientation/). This orientation session identifies the goals of the IPPE
and APPE programs at WVU, discusses criteria of our preceptors, summarizes preceptor
responsibilities, describes appropriate teaching strategies, discusses methods of assess-
ment and giving feedback and identifies resources available to WVU preceptors. After this
initial CE our preceptors have quite a bit of freedom in choosing their additional hours of CE.
The OEL is working to better identify and describe what
we consider preceptor focused CE. We will accept any
CE offered through the WVU School of Pharmacy or
other ACPE accredited Doctor of Pharmacy Program
and any preceptor development CE offered through
Pharmacist’s Letter which our preceptors have access
to free of charge (http://pharmacy.hsc.wvu.edu/
explearning/information-for-preceptors/preceptor-
resources/ ). Other pharmacist CE that focuses on
teaching skills, education, professionalism, managing
conflict and literature evaluation will also be accepted.
In addition to these resources, the Office of Experiential
Learning is focused on offering four CE events this aca-
demic year. Three of these sessions will initially be of-
fered as live webinars with recorded sessions available at later dates. The fourth session
will be a lunch and learn offered in Morgantown with a recorded version available at a later
time. These sessions will be focusing on the domains that are used in our student evalua-
tions. The first session will be a live webinar coming in August 2017 featuring Krista
Capehart, Pharm.D. Clinical Associate Professor and Director of Wigner Institute for Ad-
vanced Pharmacy Practice, Education and Research and will be covering the topic of com-
munication. A Save the Date email will be sent later this month, so watch your email for this
notice. Subsequent sessions will be premiering in November 2017, February 2018 and May
2018. We would love for you join us for the live webinar but the recorded version will be
available after the initial session.

News from the Director of APPE Lena Maynor, Pharm.D., BCPS
Beginning in Block 3 (July 24 – August 25) of the 2017-2018 academic year, the following
items are due from the student on the final day of each rotation: hours logs, rotation assign-
ments, student self-assessment, and student evaluations of preceptor and site. Failure to
submit any required assignment or evaluation by the last day of rotation will result in an ad-
ministrative adjustment of the competency score for “Manages time well and demonstrates
an appropriate level of preparedness” within the Professionalism Competency Domain to a 2 (requires sub-
stantial assistance) or to a score of 1 (entirely unable to meet expectations) if the original competency score
assigned is a 2.
Also, as we begin a new APPE year, please help us remind students of the following related to time away
from rotation sites:
The 2017-2018 APPE calendar includes a holiday for students November 22-24, 2017. For any other
major holiday occurring during APPE rotations, it is up to the preceptor to decide if the student will be
given the holiday off. Holidays do not have to be made up during the rotation; however, those days
must be logged as absences from the site.
Students are permitted to have up to 40 hours of excused absence time that will not need to be made up
unless otherwise required by the preceptor over the course of the entire 8 block APPE year. These
excused absence hours are to be used for illness, emergency situations, residency interviews, and
job interviews. The excused absences are not vacation/personal days. Students may not accumulate
more than three days or 24 hours of excused absence during any one rotation unless also approved
by the Director of APPE.

News from the Director of IPPE
Gina Baugh, Pharm.D. In January 2017, I assumed the role of Director of Interprofessional Education (IPE) for
the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center. In this position, I have the oppor-
tunity to promote and develop didactic, simulation and experiential opportunities for stu-
dents from different disciplines to work together. I will also continue my role as the Di-
rector of IPPE for the School of Pharmacy.
Currently, our pharmacy students participate in didactic IPE sessions during their first
professional year that focus on the four competencies stressed by the Interprofessional Education Collabora-
tive including: (1) Values/ Ethics, (2) Roles/ Responsibilities, (3) Interprofessional Communication, and (4)
Teams and Teamwork. IPE is also emphasized during their community pharmacy IPPE rotation. During their
second year of the program, IPE is promoted through our Service Learning Practice Experiences Course, as
well as their health system IPPE rotation. In their third year, students participate in acute care simulation
rounding experiences through the Acute Care Practice Experiences course. In the final year of the curricu-
lum, IPE is an integral component of the students’ experiences on their APPE rotations.
Therefore, it is important that the significance of interprofessional collaborations is discussed with students
during their IPPE and APPE rotations. We ask that you, as preceptors, promote the importance of working
together as a team to provide the best possible care for patients.
