Professional Development Advisor Training and Educational Resources Development

Abstract

This project will create a repository of training resources for PittPharmacy professional development advisors. These materials will help these faculty advisors support the academic and career integration and professional development of pharmacy students. Resources will be designed for implementation according to a designated timeline across the six semesters in which students are enrolled in didactic courses and will include best practices for facilitating effective advising meetings, resources for conducting and evaluating professional development reviews, tools to assist advisors as they guide students considering curricular and co-curricular opportunities, and resources regarding post-graduate professional and training opportunities to enhance career path discussions.
