College Kudos: Professional Recognition, Presentations, and Collaborative Engagement

Students have the opportunity to provide feedback about their preceptors. The following unedited quotes are from students regarding nurse practitioner faculty preceptors.

Dr. Randy Bullock: "Dr. Bullock is an excellent provider and mentor. He allowed me to practice my skills independently and always gave me feedback."

Dr. Diane Chapman: "Dr. Chapman is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and engaging. She worked hard to develop a space for students, working with the medical team. Thank you!"

Dr. Katie Davis: "Katie was a fantastic preceptor and empowered me to grow my clinical knowledge and skill set. She is warm, welcoming, loves her patients, and provides care that is evidence-based and patient centered. She challenged me to see patients independently, form my own clinical judgement/differentials, and collaborate on possible treatment plans. Her encouragement and constructive feedback were effective and guided me through a positive learning experience. I was especially impressed by her in-depth knowledge and experience with endocrine and hormone related care!"

Dr. Liz Greene: "I am the biggest fan of Liz Greene; she is great, makes me feel safe to ask any questions, and answers them appropriately; if she doesn't know the answer, she will look it up for me. She is an example of a preceptor with fantastic rapport with patients and good knowledge of medications. She is just great, and everyone knows it. I am lucky to be rubbing shoulders with her and excited for next semester, saving the best for last!"

Dr. Frances Johnson: "Fran was invested in my learning experience during this clinical rotation. I'm incredibly grateful for her willingness to teach. Fran is intelligent, supportive, diligent, and so organized. I absolutely loved learning from her and truly enjoyed my time working with the team at Madsen. Everyone at the clinic helped me feel as though I was a part of the team!"

Dr. Frances Johnson: "Frances is an amazing nurse practitioner, preceptor, professor, and medical director. She makes every effort to create a safe psychological environment for everyone around her. I really admired her ability to have/welcome difficult conversations with her patients. She does a lot of procedures as well which was a great learning experience."

Dr. Jessie Leavitt: "Jessie was an incredible preceptor! I felt very supported and encouraged to take charge of my learning experience and push myself to gain more confidence. She is an amazing provider, and it was a great experience learning from her!"

Dr. Suzy Talken: "I have really enjoyed my time here with Suzy. She has really helped me grow not only in this program, but as a person this semester. I can tell she truly cares about my well-being and wants me to succeed. She gives me every opportunity to be autonomous without leaving me to drown. I wish we could copy and paste her 100 times so we all had a Suzy mentor to help us through this program!"

Dr. Heidi Vawdrey: "They provide an amazing clinical experience. They got you involved early on and work with you to build your skills to where they should be by the end of the semester."

Dr. Sara Webb: "I am very fortunate for this opportunity!"

Dr. Emily Winn: "Emily is such a great preceptor. She is so great at giving productive feedback and praising when things are doing well. She is a wealth of knowledge."
