Hear About the Precepting Experience
Working with Duquesne students has been incredibly rewarding. They bring professionalism, curiosity, and a strong foundation of clinical knowledge. Their ability to deliver exceptional patient care is far above what I’ve seen. It’s a privilege to contribute to their growth and help them develop confidence in applying their skills.
Precepting Duquesne students has been one of the most rewarding parts of my job. The Duquesne students I’ve worked with are always motivated, curious, and especially enthusiastic. They’re not afraid to take on challenges or ask questions.
