Incorporating Risk Management Principles into Your Teaching

Whose job is it to teach risk management principles to pharmacy learners? Sure – they have to take a law course as part of their curricular requirements, but how much does that mean to them until they are in real life situations as part of their IPPEs, APPEs, or residency? As preceptors, it’s important that we not only recognize and manage the legal risks of welcoming pharmacy learners within our pharmacy practice but also that we are prepared to teach practical concepts such as risk management in addition to developing their clinical skills. Listen to this episode where we talk with David Brushwood, a well-known expert, and educator in the practical and professional aspects of risk management and pharmacy law.HostKathy Schott, PhDCEimpact GuestsDavid Brushwood, RPh, JDSenior Lecturer, University of Wyoming School of PharmacyProfessor Emeritus, University of FloridaContent Development, CEimpactDavid Brushwood graduated with degrees in pharmacy and law from the University of Kansas.  He practiced both professions prior to entering academia.  David retired from the University of Florida, College of Pharmacy, in 2014 where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy.  In 2015, David joined the faculty at the University of Wyoming, School of Pharmacy, and he serves there as a Senior Lecturer teaching online courses in the Master of Science in Health Services Administration program.  David is a pharmacy law content developer with CEimpact, where he produces educational programs for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy students.
