Welcome Preceptors!

Preceptors play an integral part in helping Duquesne University student pharmacists achieve bigger goals. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring our student pharmacists are prepared for anything and providing professional support before and after graduation.

Please find important resources on this page along with news and updates from the Office of Experiential Education at Duquesne University!

We're excited to share the appointment of Morgan Martinson, PharmD, as the new Director of Experiential Education. Dr. Martinson brings extensive experience and a strong commitment to advancing experiential learning opportunities for our students. We are confident that her leadership will continue to strengthen our program and uphold meaningful partnerships with our preceptors.

It is a pleasure to connect with you and to begin working alongside such a dedicated group of preceptors. You are truly the heart of our experiential program, and I am grateful for the time, mentorship, and commitment you share with our Duquesne students. Thank you for your partnership in shaping the next generation of pharmacists. I look forward to working closely with you!

Dr. Morgan Martinson

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude and best wishes to Mr. Tom Falcione, who has retired after 16 years at Duquesne. His dedication to the program has made a lasting impact, and he will certainly be missed. Please join us in celebrating these exciting changes to our office!

Program Highlights

The Duquesne University Young Alumni Network will present the sixth annual Dukes from the Last Decade Awards on April 11! Award recipients exemplify the University's mission in their daily lives, demonstrating professional excellence, commitment and service to their community, and dedication to the University. Our new Director of Experiential Education, Morgan Martinson, will be recognized as one of the recipients. Congratulations, Morgan!

We Appreciate Your Partnership!

Our students’ achievements reflect the high‑quality education and unwavering support they receive at Duquesne. Duquesne's School of Pharmacy students achieved a 91.7% NAPLEX pass rate, notable above the national (86.8%) and Pennsylvania (83.9%) rates. Your dedication to teaching, guiding and mentoring our student pharmacists is truly appreciated.

Duquesne APPE students take high-stakes RxPrep exams at the conclusions of various rotation blocks in preparation for the upcoming NAPLEX exam. For preceptors with students in Block H (2/23/26-4/3/26), the following are topics from the NAPLEX that you can incorporate into your teaching, when appropriate:

  • Depression
  • Schizophrenia/Psychosis
  • Bipolar
  • ADHD
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Seizures/Epilepsy
  • Calculations

APPE Student Academia Research Project

A current APPE student is gathering perspectives on the potential for student-developed monographs on herbals and natural products to be implemented into pharmacy practice settings. Please consider taking this survey to assess the feasibility and interest of these monographs from a practice-based standpoint. The survey should take you no longer than 15 minutes to complete.

Complete the Survey

Reminders

Considering current winter weather conditions and illnesses on the rise, we thought it would be beneficial if we provided a reminder regarding student absence(s) while out on clinical rotations:

  • if a student is absent one day or less the student and preceptor can arrange a time to make up for the missed hours independently, without notifying the School.
  • For an absence of greater than one day during a rotation block (either sequentially or in total), the student must discuss a plan to make up for the missed time with the preceptor, then notify the School by completing an Absence Request through CORE ELMS.

Additionally, the following protocols are only applicable to APPE students on rotation: Students are permitted up to three days excused absence, without makeup, to attend a professional meeting and must submit proof of registration as part of the Absence Request in CORE ELMS. For any unexcused absence, the preceptor must notify the Director of Experiential Education via email or phone.

Preceptor Education

The Preceptors’ Toolkit for Working with Struggling Pharmacy Students article provides practical strategies to identify and support struggling students in conjunction with the Office of Experiential Education. It includes example checklists and templates to guide interventions to help students who are not progressing appropriately. We encourage you to check it out.
