Application Information

Persons interested in serving as a University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy preceptor-faculty member should contact the regional director for the geographic area in which you work.  See list of regional directors above.

The regional director will determine the need for that type of pharmacy practice experience rotation in that particular geographic area, and provide additional information for applying based on identified need for that experience. 

Applications not initiated through the regional director will not be processed.

The preceptor-faculty application requires a University of Texas Electronic ID (UT-EID). This UT-EID will be used throughout your association with UT-Austin, so you should take care to protect your UT-EID and your password. If you are a former student or employee, you should already have a UT-EID. Instructions to obtain a UT-EID are included in information provided from the regional director.

Application for preceptor-faculty status with the University of Texas requires the use of an electronic application.

Appointment Process
  1. Contact the regional director or coordinator in the region closest to you. See list of regional directors above.
    • The regional director will initiate the application process.  NOTE: applications received that are not initiated through the regional personnel will not be processed.
  2. Complete the online application.
  3. If you are not currently a preceptor with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, you must also complete their application.
  4. Upgrade your UT EID.
    • If needed, at the College of Pharmacy’s request, go through the process of upgrading your UT EID in order to access electronic student forms for APPE rotations.  The college will walk applicants through this process.

Preceptor Honors

Current Honorees - Preceptor of the Year

Each year the College of Pharmacy solicits nominations from fourth year pharmacy students for the William Arlyn Kloesel Outstanding Preceptor of the Year Award. This prestigious award celebrates excellence in all areas of precepting and sets the standard for all students, alumni, and faculty who choose to become preceptors. Started in 1989 to recognize and honor these dedicated individuals, the award was renamed in 1995 in honor of former Assistant Dean Arlyn Kloesel, whose devotion to pharmacy, students and experiential learning is legendary.

Master Preceptor Recognition Program

The Master Preceptor Recognition Program was inaugurated in 2014 by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Designed to honor the “best of the best,” this program recognizes preceptors who not only demonstrate a sustained commitment to excellence in the areas of teaching, practice, experiential education, and professional citizenship, but who also teach others to excel in these areas. Nominees must have served a minimum of ten years as a preceptor for the nominating college of pharmacy.
