While this article does not relate directly to being a preceptor, it describes the success of a model of experiential learning within pharmacy- layered learner model. This model mirrors the medical team model with a pharmacy "attending" down to pharmacy students. It provides a way to get students more involved in direct patient care during your rotation. In the study, a community hospital was able to accept more students with this model and assign a small group of patients to each. Students were able to serve as pharmacist extenders by obtaining medication histories and providing patient education. This model allowed an expansion of comprehensive pharmacy services to numerous patients that would not have been otherwise reached. There was an improvement in HCAHPS scores within the "communication of medication" domain, an increase in patient interventions, and allowed for an expansion of the discharge prescription program. By utilizing the concepts of more direct patient care, preceptors are able to provide valuable opportunities to students and improve patient care.
