Each year the PA class submits preceptors who stands out in their commitment to educate and train the students as they learn on rotations.

The nominations are based on the preceptors having an active involvement in education, providing timely and meaningful feedback, facilitating teamwork in their patient care, fostering an innovative and effective learning environment as well as opportunities for new learning experiences and growth.

Congratulations to Dr. Armilio, internal medicine physician at Connect Care Hospitalists for being awarded this year’s Preceptor of the Year. Dr. Armilio remains committed to and teaching PA students month after month. “Not only is he fun to work with, he is very patient with us and broke down complicated acute care concepts into patterns we could understand.”- Courtney Simcoe, 2018 graduate class

“Dr. Armilio ensures the student is integrated into a compassionate and innovative team of providers. He provides clear expectations and goals for the rotation and ensures that the student progresses through the rotation with the freedom, yet support needed.”- Luke Mathes, 2018 graduate class
