Congratulations to our Award-Winning Preceptors!

Three smiling preceptors holding awards

Our exceptional preceptors were honored at our Annual Preceptor Excellence and Recognition Awards Program (Note: Not all award winners are pictured above). Awardees were selected based on student evaluations, evidence of strong, sustained preceptorship and overall support of our experiential program. 

The program began with an educational session on growth mindset, designed to help our preceptors foster this valuable skill in our students. Then our award-winning preceptors were honored with short speeches from our faculty describing their outstanding achievements.
