Preceptors of the Year
2017 APPE Preceptor of the Year
Dr. Alydia Snyder
Jackson-Madison County General Hospital
Jackson, Tennessee
"...she has the awesome ability to share her knowledge in a way that anyone can understand. She gave me a lot of confidence by allowing me to reach the right answer on my own with some encouragement rather than just telling me the answer."
"...she is a wonderful teacher. She is quick to share her enthusiasm of TPN with others and makes sure we can not only do the calculations, but actually understand what it means." She made me fall in love with what she does.
"She provided a very good environment that I would love to duplicate if I ever become a preceptor."
2017 IPPE Preceptor of the Year
Dr. Tara Pratt
Cornerstone Drug
Decaturville, Tennessee
"Dr. Pratt is incredible; she takes the time to teach students and point out important things to learn. At the same time, she quickly makes you feel at ease and comfortable, especially when asking questions."
"I learned so much and her rotation was my favorite IPPE. I recommended her APPE rotation to everyone that asked, given my previous IPPE experience."
"Dr. Pratt is truly a wonderful pharmacist who cares about her students and creates rotations that value learning and gaining experience. I honestly think she would even make a great professor given her passion for the profession and for helping student pharmacists grow."

Jackson, Tennessee
"I feel like she is a hidden jewel in our school."
"She is very passionate about pharmacy... and she pushed me daily."
"She genuinely cares about her students and I cannot thank her enough. She is a preceptor that I would recommend that everyone take."
