Continuing education for pharmacists traditionally focuses on drug information, disease state management and other patient care related topics. Yet educational institutions who offer degree programs in pharmacy are increasingly dependent upon the practitioners who generously and skillfully provide experiential training for pharmacy students. The services they provide are invaluable and CEI is committed to providing ongoing training designed specifically for pharmacists who practice in a teaching environment (preceptors).

In addition, ACPE, as part of the accreditation process for institutions offering pharmacy degree programs, requires preceptor pharmacists to engage in educational opportunities that focus on the development of teaching and mentoring skills. The courses offered by CEI are accredited by ACPE, meeting both sets of requirements.

Other programs helpful to preceptors are located in the Log-in To Learn and Educational Opportunities sections of this website.
