USF Health Taneja College of Pharmacy

Congratulations to Jamie Kisgen, PharmD, BCIDP for being named the 2025-26 University of South Florida Taneja College of Pharmacy Preceptor of the Year. Your dedication, mentorship, and service make a lasting impact on our students and their professional growth.

"I am completely surprised and grateful to be recognized. Having the opportunity to work with your students has been a true pleasure. I have been particularly impressed with their hard work, professionalism, and commitment to our patients. I feel like I learn as much from them as they do from me. I also couldn't do this though without the support of our amazing preceptor team."

Thank you for taking your time to help shape the lives of future pharmacists.

Hear from David about the opportunities the program provided him as he completes his Master's degree and plans to pursue further medical education afterwards.
