The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP) is proud to announce that Negar "Nikki" Hamidi, PharmD; Vicki Bulkin, PharmD; and Allison Chilipko, PharmD, have been named American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Preceptors of the Year, a national honor that recognizes exemplary contributions to pharmacy education and student mentorship.
Preceptors play a critical role in shaping the professional development of student pharmacists, providing hands-on, real-world training during introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences. Experiential learning accounts for more than 30 percent of the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum at UMSOP, and preceptors serve as essential partners in helping students apply classroom knowledge to patient care and health system practice.
