Welcome to Dalhousie College of Pharmacy’s new podcast - The Preceptor’s Compass much like the compass used to help find your way in the world — this podcast is designed to guide, support, and inspire pharmacy preceptors as they navigate the waters of experiential education.

If you’re a preceptor in the Maritime Provinces—or anywhere else—this podcast is for you. Whether you’re new to precepting or a seasoned mentor, we know that guiding students through their learning journey is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our goal is to create a community where we can share insights, best practices, and real-world experiences to enhance the precepting experience for both you and your students.

In the first series, we will dive into key topics like: ✅ The Importance of a Strong Orientation with CLEAR Expectations and Creating a Sense of Belonging ✅ Supervision to Independence: A Preceptor’s Guide to Growing Learners ✅ Generational Humility: Understanding Today’s Learners and ✅ Building a Positive Inclusive Learning Environment: Fostering Confidence, Engagement, and Curiosity in Pharmacy Learners. We will be joined by experienced preceptors, educators, and even students themselves to offer fresh perspectives and actionable strategies you can implement right away.

So, if you are ready to chart a course toward more effective mentorship, stronger student engagement, and a fulfilling precepting experience, you are in the right place. Subscribe now to The Preceptor’s Compass on your favorite podcast platform and let us set sail on this journey together! ⚓🎧

Enjoy a sneak peak of our first Episode with Michael MacNeil, Education Coordinator at Nova Scotia Health, and Naomi Hayden, 2022 Pharmacy graduate and recent Preceptor of the Year.
