School of Pharmacy presents Preceptor Awards
The William Carey University School of Pharmacy hosted its inaugural Preceptor Appreciation Luncheon Nov. 7 at the Tradition campus.
Preceptors are doctors of pharmacy who invite WCUSOP students to participate in internships at their business or healthcare facility; they mentor the students and provide them with valuable hands-on experience.
Dr. Michael McKendall of Slidell Memorial Hospital received the Institutional Preceptor of the Year Award. U.S. Air Force Maj. Joanna Heskett Keesler Air Force Base Medical Center received the Community Preceptor of the Year Award.
