Preceptor Interaction
Week 1: Orientation to anticoagulation clinic, Standing Stone Coag Clinic, and equipment used during patient visits. Observe pharmacists during initial education visits as well as follow up visits.
Week 2: Begin to ask patient’s history questions and perform capillary blood draws under the supervision of a pharmacist
Week 3: Conduct initial warfarin education and follow up visits with little assistance from pharmacist
Week 4: Independently see patients for initial and follow up visits, documenting appropriately
[The length of time the preceptor spends in each of the phases of learning will depend BOTH on the resident’s progressions in the current rotation and where the rotation occurs in the residency program]
Evaluation Strategy
ResiTrak will be used for documentation of formal evaluations. For formative evaluations, the resident will perform the activity appropriate to the snapshot with the preceptor. Resident and preceptor will then independently complete the snapshot. After both have signed the evaluation, the resident and preceptor will compare and discuss the evaluations. This discussion will provide feedback on both their performance of the activity and the accuracy of the self-assessment.
