Failure to Fail

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges a preceptor has is that of honestly evaluating poor performance in a way that will help get the student either back on track, or connected to the help and support they need, depending on the specific performance issue or issues they are exhibiting. It sounds cold, but in experiential education it has been said more often than once – that sometimes you just have to fail a student for their own benefit and ultimate success. Those conversations are heartbreaking – for the preceptor, for the school’s staff – and most importantly for the students. Listen in as Dr. Lisa Richter and Dr. Kate Newman discuss the evidence and importance of failure in supporting student development.  Host: Kathy Schott, PhD CEimpact Guests: Lisa Richter, PharmD Director of Experiential Outreach and Assessment Assistant Professor of Practice North Dakota State University Kate Newman, PharmD Director of Experiential Education Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Get CE Click here to access the course and claim CE for the episode.CPE Information At the end of this course, preceptors will be able to: Identify barriers to providing accurate assessment of underperforming learners Discuss strategies to overcome barriers and support accurate assessment of underperforming learners UAN: 0107-0000-25-019-H99-PRelease Date: 03/24/2025Expiration Date: 03/24/2028 Want more education on this and other precepting topics?
