The Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy is proud to showcase the achievements of our preceptors. These awards recognize particularly outstanding individuals who go above and beyond in teaching our next generation of pharmacists. 

Preceptor of the Year Awards

In 2014, the Faculty of Pharmacy launched the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) Program. With it, the APPE Preceptor of the Year Award was introduced. As of 2020, we are now recognizing our wonderful Early Practice Experience (EPE-1 and EPE-2) preceptors with their own Preceptor of the Year Award. Students and peers nominate excellent candidates. Congratulations to this year’s award winners!
