Christy Bryant, PharmD, BCPS
The student had this to say about Dr. Bryant:
“Christy has been an amazing preceptor. She is passionate about teaching, always seeks new learning opportunities and always going above and beyond to improve patient outcomes and use evidenced based practices to improve care. I am really impressed with both Christy and the site as I’ve learned so much, applied so much learning, and have genuinely had such an amazing time that I’m sad this rotation is ending.“
Brief bio or Site description
I am a Clinical Pharmacist at UF Health Spanish Plains Hospital, where I have practiced for over 12 years and precept APPE students for General Medicine and PGY1 pharmacy residents for Internal Medicine II. I am a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist with clinical interests in pharmacokinetics, anticoagulation, antimicrobial stewardship, cardiology, and TPN management. UF Health Spanish Plaines Hospital is a regional community hospital closely connected to UF Health Shands, offering a collaborative, patient-centered environment where pharmacists play an active role in patient care.
What is your or your sites philosophy on educating students and/or providing pharmacy services?
My teaching philosophy focuses on helping students develop strong clinical reasoning skills and the ability to care for patients as a whole. I encourage learners to see the bigger picture, anticipate patient needs, and take ownership of their recommendations. Students are actively involved in patient care through patient workups, presentations, progress note documentation, and discharge counseling. I begin each rotation with direct instruction and modeling, then transition to coaching as students gain confidence. Pharmacists at our institution are respected members of the healthcare team, and I strive to model professionalism, accountability, and lifelong learning in both practice and teaching.
What is a fun fact about you or the site?
I completed my APPE training at UF Health Spanish Plaines Hospital and now have the opportunity to precept students at the same site, making it especially meaningful to help prepare the next generation of pharmacists
