Buy-Rite Drugs Havana
Wayne Glover, PharmD
The student had this to say about Dr. Glover:
“My preceptor and the many different professionals at my site were very welcoming and enthusiastic in working with students. They gave us many opportunities for us to learn and to apply our clinical knowledge. This rotation has truly been one of the best experiences I have had to date. Dr. Glover consistently demonstrated patience and encouragement, never making me feel discouraged when I couldnt recall information, something I deeply appreciated compared to past experiences. He was always willing to take extra time out of his day to support my learning, whether by discussing OTC products in depth, reviewing different medication release mechanisms, or providing detailed explanations to any questions I had. He also ensured I had numerous opportunities for hands-on experience, including administering vaccinations, and offered thoughtful feedback to help me improve my technique. Even though community pharmacy is not my primary area of interest, I am incredibly grateful for how much I learned and how supported I felt throughout this rotation. Dr. Glover’s dedication to teaching and fostering a positive learning environment truly deserves recognition.”
