CLINICAL AND LONGITUDINAL PRECEPTORS
Residents are provided the opportunity to train alongside clinical pharmacy preceptors who have expansive educational backgrounds and diverse experiences to enrich their learning and hands-on experiences.

Residents select a professional mentor from the preceptor group.
