Wingate University School of Pharmacy is proud to recognize Dr. Thao Nguyen as our student-selected 2018 IPPE Preceptor of the Year. Dr. Nguyen is a pharmacist with Harris Teeter Pharmacy in Matthews, NC and has precepted WUSOP students for eight years. Dr. Nguyen is highly regarded for providing exemplary patient care and creating a nurturing learning environment for students. Her desire to invest in the next generation of pharmacists is evident in consistent provision of availability for all rotation blocks and development of a challenging and inspiring pharmacy practice experience.
When describing her rotation experience with Dr. Nguyen, one student recently wrote these kind words:
“
Dr. Nguyen became a preceptor to pay it forward. When she was in pharmacy school, she
had preceptors who demonstrated what being a great pharmacist meant. These experiences have
influenced her in her career and I can truly say that she embodies the kind of pharmacist that I
hope to one day become. She was understanding in making sure that I learned at a comfortable
pace, but she also had great expectations of me. Prior to my rotation, I had a firm set of beliefs
of what community pharmacy was, but I honestly have to say that my perception has completely
changed because I had such a great experience at my rotation site. This experience showed me the
possibilities of a nurturing work environment that enables a pharmacist to perform at a peak level.”
