Preceptor Quotes
This is a great program to help students who don’t have the privilege to take on a fellowship that is not paid because they need to work throughout the school year, and this program allows the student to accept a fellowship that may interest them more.
Taking part in the PHFP as a preceptor was a fantastic experience. Not only did I benefit from phenomenal, immediately impactful research support moving critical projects forward, but I learned more about my own work through the process of teaching her about all that we do on our team. I found I truly enjoy mentoring and plan to continue as a preceptor.
Our partnership with the CT Public Health Fellowship Program has been transformative for both our community and department. The interns brought in through the program have showcased exceptional dedication to public health, blending academic excellence with practical application….We eagerly anticipate the continued positive impact of this exceptional partnership.
