Meet Our Preceptors
Overview
The pharmacy department is an integral part of patient care at our institution. Pharmacy staff have close working relationships with patients, nurses, prescribers, and other healthcare professionals, and participate in developing care plans throughout the continuum of care. Our preceptors are actively engaged in the residency program, and are ready to serve as mentors and role models.
