2021 Preceptor Awards

The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences congratulates all of the 2021 recipients of awards for their work as preceptors for their contributions to our students’ knowledge and preparation to practice at the top of their licenses. These pharmacists, who so willingly impart their expertise, enable our students to truly understand what it means to be a pharmacist who practices patient-centered care.

Recipients were nominated by students in applicable award categories, and the Office of Experiential Education selected the winner from all nominees. They were recognized during a virtual awards ceremony in May.
