2026 NWSRC ACPE Preceptor PRESENTATIONS8:00 - 9:00 AM PST Learners who struggle to demonstrate emotional intelligence are often described as disengaged, unmotivated, unprepared, and perhaps unsafe for practice. While many preceptors feel prepared to address clinical skills and improve a leaner’s knowledge, few preceptors feel as comfortable addressing a learner’s need to improve self-awareness. This session will challenge preceptors to think more critically about their own emotional intelligence and how to influence their learner’s development. This session will provide a starting point for anyone feeling frustrated by a struggling learner. About the PresenterEric Gilliam, PharmD, BCCCP, MCPC is an Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice.
