While we all know students who may exhibit more confidence that they have the right to based on their actual knowledge and experience, more often as preceptors we have students who demonstrate a lack of confidence that gets in the way of their learning. It is easy to make assumptions about why a student demonstrates a lack of confidence, but often we have missed the mark. By understanding the root cause of waning confidence in a pharmacy learner, we can develop strategies to increase confidence and allow them to optimize their learning.
Dr. Kate Newman, Director of Experiential Education, and Dr. Stephanie Hunziker, Director of Skills and Simulation and a Clinical Assistant Professor are both from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy. They have recognized the negative impact that low confidence can have on learner outcomes and have lots to share about challenges and strategies for identifying the root cause of low confidence, as well as teaching tactics and methods to overcome them.

True Grit: Developing a Philosophy of Failure
https://learn.ceimpact.com/library/course/3911
Pharmacy learners are innately afraid to look silly, say the wrong thing, or make mistakes that could result in negative feedback. This fear can manifest in a perceived lack of confidence. This course provides pearls for creating an safe and supportive environment where failure isn’t something to be ashamed of, but rather a path to greater learning.
We’ve also got a great podcast on this topic. Check out Season 2, Episode 1.
