“Not only is she my preceptor, but I also consider Dr. Jellison a mentor. She possesses many qualities that make her an ideal preceptor including positive studentpreceptor contact, interprofessional collaboration, and providing opportunities for personal and professional growth. She is approachable and amiable, making her easily accessible and communication seamless. Dr. Jellison personalizes each rotation experience based on the student’s goals by assigning specific projects that reinforce and contribute to the type of setting and pharmacy practice of interest. She built an authentic relationship by addressing all my personal and professional concerns. Dr. Jellison showed gratitude and appreciation for my work and provided constructive feedback in areas that I could improve. Outside of rotation, she was always available for discussion. I am grateful for her wisdom and experiences, as her words of advice and guidance were always motivating, inspiring and encouraging. Dr. Jellison provided many opportunities for personal and professional growth. During my time with her, she always embodied authenticity, professionalism, as well as, great leadership qualities. As a result, I learned to become an authentic individual and an effective leader.”
