Distinguished Preceptor Recognition Program

Program Overview

AACP is happy to relaunch the Distinguished Preceptor Recognition Program.

The purpose of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Distinguished Preceptor Recognition Program (DPRP) is to nationally recognize preceptors who are not full-time employees of a college/school of pharmacy for their sustained commitment to excellence in experiential education and professional practice. The DPRP was developed based on recommendations from the 2012 AACP Professional Affairs Committee and was approved for implementation by the AACP Board of Directors. This award is funded in part by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Foundation.

The DPRP consists of a recognition plaque, free AACP membership for the year of DPRP recognition, and national recognition from AACP and other pharmacy associations.
