Morton Plant Hospital
Brittany Shelton, PharmD, BCPS
The student had this to say about Dr. Shelton:
“…(Brittany) takes the time to ensure students feel comfortable and confident before we start doing things individually. I felt very well oriented and prepared for all activities throughout this rotation. She also does a wonderful job creating a safe environment for students to ask questions. I felt like rotation was perfect for me and my knowledge base. I was able to learn a lot at and do it at a speed comfortable for me. I am really proud that I was able to call over 100 patients thanks to Brittany doing such a great job as preceptor.”
