Yes! Erlanger pharmacists serve as preceptors for four colleges of pharmacy, so there are usually multiple students on rotation at Erlanger during a given month. Depending on the point in the residency year, PGY1 Residents may work alongside clinical preceptors to facilitate student learning or may serve as the primary preceptor for the student under clinical preceptor supervision.
