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 and introduced the APPE Preceptor of the Year Award. Recognition expanded in 2020 to include Early Practice Experience (EPE-1 and EPE-2) preceptors and again in 2026 to include Experiential Learning (EL1) preceptors.
Nominated by students and peers, these awards recognize preceptors for their outstanding contributions to student learning. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients!
