Mayo Clinic
Haleigh S. Tatko, PharmD, BCSCP
The student had this to say about Dr. Tatko:
Mayo Clinic was a fantastic learning experience. Everybody that I shadowed from nurses to pharmacists were very receptive to students and provided a great opportunity for learning. The hospital had opportunities in many different areas/specialties. My preceptor, Dr. Tatko, was very knowledgeable and informative about the hospital and pharmacy department’s operations. She took the time to learn what I was interested in, and facilitated my experience to include my interests. She was very open to taking students and overall she gave me a HIPPE experience that was both clinically and professionally valuable.
