Where there might be several residents in a given pharmacy training under one preceptor ,there is usually only one fellow ,thereby further increasing the Socratic style of teachingIn recent years, traineeships have grown in number and popularity ,as practicing pharmacists have sought ways to enhance their knowledge and skills without interrupting their practices for an
extended residency or fellowship .
.
Fellowship A pharmacy fellowship, is definedas ‘‘a directed, highly individualized, postgraduate programdesigned to prepare the participant to become anindependent researcher.
