EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Luther Midelfort pharmacist David Zehms recently received the first “Preceptor of the Year” award from the Luther Midelfort Pharmacy Residency Program.
Pharmacist David Zehms, 2009 Preceptor of the Year
The residency program was launched a year ago and offers pharmacy graduates a postdoctoral opportunity to broaden their education within a clinical setting, while also specializing in niche areas of pharmaceutical practice. Preceptors serve critical roles in the residency program as instructors, coaches, role models and facilitators.
Zehms was recognized for his instruction in clinical problem-solving, his commitment to the residency program and his dedication to the residents.
“Dave’s commitment to the residency program and dedication to the teaching of residents is an inspiration to those who work with him,” said pharmacist Catherine Lea, director of the residency program.
Lea and pharmacy residents Brandon Simmons and Jennifer Paulus presented Zehms with a certificate of appreciation during a recognition ceremony last week.
