The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency standards strongly encourage programs to offer opportunities to residents to gain teaching experience.1 Outcome E1 of the post-graduate year two (PGY2) standards require that participants demonstrate skills necessary to function in an academic setting.2 Numerous publications describe the effectiveness of residency teaching certificate programs offered by colleges of pharmacy.3-5 Post-graduate training programs that are at colleges of pharmacy typically provide opportunities to gain classroom experience and receive instruction on educational methods. Specific recommendations for Teaching and Learning Programs have been published and are included in this program.6
RUCSHP provides teaching experience for the residents in the Chicagoland area. It would be ideal if the participation of PGY1 and PGY2 residents could be formalized and documented to help prepare them for careers in academia or participate in teaching programs. Pharmacy students benefit from interacting with the residents. Training residents in effective teaching will enhance their skills and possibly lead to a career in clinical practice and/or academia.
This practice-based education program is based on ASHP residency standards and consists of seminars, teaching experience, precepting experience, and developing a teaching portfolio. The primary goal of the Teaching and Learning Program (TLP) is for participants, through practice, to develop skills required to participate in an academic setting.
