"As a recent University of Toronto graduate my goal as a preceptor is to ensure students have the opportunity to get as much exposure to real life practise as possible. This sets them up for success in their career path as they can really understand what it means to work in a retail pharmacy setting. I often ask my students "what do you want to get out of this rotation?" so that way we cater the experience to their goals. I find this very rewarding as my students have the opportunity to spread their wings and learn about the expanding scope of pharmacists in Ontario.

I am very humbled to have been a recipient of this award and it further motivates me to continue being a part of education programs offered by University of Toronto. I thank my wonderful pharmacy team as they supported me in fostering an effective learning environment. I look forward to continue playing a role in student learning as I find teaching and motivating students very rewarding."

"Our students today shape tomorrow’s healthcare future, and that’s why it’s such a privilege to precept. As a preceptor, it’s not only my job to teach clinical skills but to show students their potential as pharmacists and healthcare leaders. The best reward is when students see that the sky is the limit for how they shape their practice. Thank you to all my past students, my workplace and the faculty - it’s an honour to be recognized with this award."

"Being a preceptor this year has been a very rewarding experience. As a recent graduate myself, I came in with an understanding of the student experience and how best to make the placement valuable. The preceptors I had during my time as a student at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy had a huge impact on the pharmacist I became, and are what inspired me to take on my own student. I do have to thank them for providing me an excellent example of what a preceptor should be. This award is a huge honour, and I am very happy to have had a positive impact on my student."
