The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently updated the guidance for reporting race and ethnicity in medical and science journals (August 2021). This information updates the language and terminology used in research, education and practice. Some examples include: using racial and ethnic terms as adjectives instead of nouns (Black patients vs Blacks), using "person-first" language (diabetic patients vs diabetics), and avoiding interchanging the terms African American and Black for studies with US patient populations.

Journal Monitor There’s a lot in the literature about trends and improvements in experiential education. So we’ve created an easy way for you to keep up: The Journal Monitor. In each preceptor newsletter, we’ll provide you a brief look at some current articles. And we’ll provide the source information as well so you can take a look at the entire article yourself.

The need for increased education and training of pharmacy learners in the care of older, critically ill, and endof-life patients Ivey M, Vest T, Zilz D. American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, Volume 78, Issue 14, 15 July 2021, Pages 1336– 1340, https://doi.org/10.109 3/ajhp/zxab177

Pharmacists are responsible for providing care to patients across the lifespan, including those nearing the end of life in many settings.

Pharmacists can play a key role in end of life care, including: Considerations of sight and hearing capabilities when preparing pharmacy products and counseling patients Reviewing medication lists for patients at risk of falls, bone fractures, polypharmacy, and interactions Assisting patients and caregivers navigate Medicare plans Interpreting the significant physiologic changes that happen in dying patients The authors shared books to consider for guided discussion: Calypso, Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air, The Emperor of All Maladies, and Dying Was the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me: Stories of Healing and Wisdom Along Life’s Journey The authors charged educators and preceptors to address the need for additional education and training in geriatrics, critical illness and end of life care.

If your IPPE or APPE student plans to participate, our office considers these excused absences (as well as other state and national conferences); however, excusing the student from any amount of time from your rotation for these activities is at your discretion as a preceptor. You know your schedule best and it may not be possible for the student to be absent. Or you may want the student to make up missed time later in the month.

Upcoming Important Dates October 8 - Deadline for APPE Availability for May 2022-April 2023 October 12 - Capstone Presentations ALL P4 students are required to return to campus for their capstone presentations. This is a scheduled absence; therefore, the student is not required to make up the actual hours missed. However, he/she is responsible for completion of all activities and objectives of the rotation.

November 1 - Master Preceptor Applications Due Many of the preceptors at PCSP go above and beyond what is required of them and we want to recognize their efforts. PCSP has a credentialing process to increase the recognition of our exceptional preceptors.

To become eligible for the Master Preceptor level, the preceptor should submit all materials and CV to the OEE by November 1 each year. Master Preceptors are recommended for adjunct faculty status in January and recognized at the White Coat Ceremony in August. More details here.
