Your expertise and mentorship are essential in preparing students with the requisite knowledge, skills and confidence needed to serve as valued and collaborative members of the health care team. The Faculty and its students deeply appreciate the positive and long-lasting impact your valued time and contributions offer in facilitating the personal and professional growth of our students. Our experiential education program would not be possible without your ongoing commitment and dedication to educating students, our future colleagues and leaders of our profession.
