UF Health Precision Medicine Program
Emily J. Cicali, PharmD, BCPS
The student had this to say about Dr. Cicali:
“Dr. Cicali’s rotation was probably the most organized and set up for students I have experienced the whole year. She has multiple topic discussions set up throughout each week with different experts, allowed time to adjust to all the daily and longitudinal tasks required, and had a whole handbook on processes that are required with speech tree paths. She adjusted the rotation projects to fit both our and her needs which I liked. We were able to create and organize a presentation to patients directly. She gave great edits/feedback, while also being very receptive to my feedback. It was very refreshing that I was being treated like a peer and not a student.”
