THE Pharmacy Board of Australia (PBA) has launched a large scale survey of recent pharmacy interns and preceptors across Australia, known as the Pharmacy Internship Experience Survey (PIES).
The aim of the survey is to give interns and preceptors the chance to give feedback on their own experiences, so the PBA can continue to improve the supervised practice process for future interns and preceptors.
PIES builds on the PBA's 2017 pilot study which surveyed a select group of interns and preceptors and investigated issues relevant to the quality of the intern training experience.
The pilot and its rollout to the large-scale survey are part of the Board's goal to continuously improve the training experience for interns, to better prepare the pharmacy workforce to provide safe services to the public.
Interns and preceptors are urged to participate in the 15-20 min poll and share their experiences to improve future outcomes for those ahead.
Recent interns and preceptors will receive an invitation from the Pharmacy Board by email - CLICK HERE for the survey and HERE for more information on registration and internships.
