Navigating a Virtual Rotation
by Krista L. McElray, PharmD, BCPS, Stephanie J. Gruber, PharmD, BCACP
"Since Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) hit Wisconsin in March 2020, precepting learners has changed dramatically. Pre-COVID-19, pharmacists worked alongside learners and were able to model, coach, and facilitate behaviors and learning in person. But now, given the restrictions in health care facilities and social distancing requirements, pharmacists have had to evolve their teaching style to incorporate virtual precepting.
Planning these virtual or socially distant rotations for learners is more important than ever to ensure learners receive strong experiences. Reviewing and strengthening rotation planning steps, activities, evaluation, and contingency planning helps ensure that experiential learning remains valuable to learners."
