Our Goal for Preceptors
Texas Pharmacy recognizes that preceptor faculty members provide a vital service to students within the college by helping them transition from classroom knowledge to work-site experience.
Through presentations, workshops, networking and active learning, UT preceptor faculty will design and administer a rotation that provides students a unique, contemporary learning experience. This rotation can also benefit the preceptor and the practice site.
