Morton Plant Hospital
Robin Colon-Moreno, PharmD, BCPS, PRS
The student had this to say about Dr. Colon-Moreno:
“Morton Plant Hospital and my preceptor, Robin Colon-Moreno, provide excellent IPPE experiences and education. I shadowed many different pharmacists in different areas of the hospital allowing me to see the change the pharmacists are providing to patient health. My favorite shadow experience was the rounding that I was able to experience in the Neuro ICU. I saw firsthand how a pharmacist’s knowledge advocated for therapy changes for the patient’s health. Every pharmacist I shadowed was well-versed in their specific niche and general knowledge of pharmacy topics. I was able to experience and learn a vast amount of knowledge from my IPPE experience at Morton Plant.”
