Certificate of Merit in Precepting
Each year, our Experiential Education team has the pleasure of identifying preceptors who have demonstrated excellence in precepting through our annual preceptor review process.
This review process considers preceptor accomplishment in the following areas:
- Active participation (as measured by the number of cumulative hours preceptors spent with students across multiple programs)
- Quality of precepting (based on student evaluations of the preceptor)
- Sustained and significant contributions to the School and profession
This year we reviewed a total of 632 preceptors (primary and secondary preceptors who precepted at least 1 student this past year). We are pleased to recognize these exemplary preceptors as recipients of the 2023 Certificate of Merit in Precepting for their dedication and commitment to pharmacy education.
