Experiential education comprises over 30% of contemporary pharmacy curriculums. Students are matched with preceptors in different areas of practice to complete experiences that range from 1 week to 5 weeks. To accomplish this curricular endeavor nearly 900 student placements must be made annually at SIUE. The School of Pharmacy is proposing a project to develop software that would match students with preceptors in a manner that fulfills curricular requirements. The system would need to allow for the maintenance of a faculty and non-faculty preceptor database that includes practice specialty, geographic location and availability for precepting based on defined calendar dates. Prior to the match the software must allow students to rank preceptor preferences. A minimum of 3 preferential rankings is suggested for each rotation the student is required to complete. A component that allows geographic preference as a default if the student cannot be matched with the preferences is also desirable. Subsequent to entry of preferences by students a report that details their choices would be needed. After the electronic match a summary report for faculty will be needed as well as reports for students indicating their assignments and a report for individual preceptors indicating students assigned.
