AcariaHealth Pharmacist Honored with 2021 Preceptor Excellence Award

Date: 12/22/2021

Here at AcariaHealth, the holiday season is not only a time of togetherness and fellowship, but also a time to look back over the year that has passed and take stock of all we have achieved. From navigating the challenges of the pandemic to conducting research to benefit our patients, AcariaHealth has driven change with passion and purpose this year.

One of the many things we pride ourselves on is our commitment to excellence for the pharmacy students participating in rotations with AcariaHealth. This commitment was affirmed this year when Brittney Lager, Clinical Account Executive, was awarded the 2021 Preceptor Excellence Award from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville!

As a preceptor, Brittney provides supervision for pharmacy students during their rotation, inspiring  them to think critically and apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. Even more importantly, pharmacy students are given an opportunity to participate in projects regarding business development and clinical program management at AcariaHealth. This 360-degree exposure to the real-world, day-to-day function of the pharmacy business is invaluable when it comes to educating a new generation of pharmacists to serve our stakeholders with the highest rigor and deepest empathy.

When announcing her Preceptor Excellence Award on LinkedIn, Brittney said, “It takes a lot of time and devotion to give back to the profession in a meaningful way, but it’s so rewarding when you get to see and hear how it has impacted future pharmacists.” She added, “I’m passionate about specialty pharmacy and the services we offer patients, and preceptorship is a great way to share this passion.”

Quality preceptorship for our pharmacy students is vital to providing safe, swift service for our patients and agile collaboration with our clients. By expanding our students’ awareness of their impact on patient health, Brittney is empowering future pharmacists to transform the health of our communities, one person at a time. We applaud Brittney’s stellar contributions to this goal, and her endeavors to make AcariaHealth a leader in specialty pharmacy.
