What qualities are you looking for in a preceptor as a pharmacy resident?

"I would really enjoy working with a preceptor who gives me space to learn and take initiative. I had a really great preceptor during pharmacy school. I felt like I could ask questions anytime, and I knew he would not only answer the question but also provide really insightful information and context regarding the subject. He would show me how to do something within the pharmacy and then trusted me to do the same later without him. I really appreciated the educational environment that allowed me to try things without the fear of making a mistake. I think I grew the most as a pharmacist with this preceptor, and I hope to continue working with preceptors who care about my education, provide thoughtful training, and allow some level of autonomy."

This is a time to tell your interviewers what type of preceptor and supervisor you work best with. Discuss things you've liked about previous preceptors and what you've learned from them. Focus on positive traits and avoid talking about things you don't like.
