Jaime Capestany, ’98 BS Pharmacy, is the Regional Manager of Ambulatory Pharmacist Services at Mount Carmel Health Systems, and has made a lasting impact on many Ohio State students in his role as a preceptor since 2002.
Capestany became a preceptor as a way to give back to the college that gave him so much as a student and continues to give to him as an alumnus.
During his time as a student, Capestany said that some of his professors and preceptors became mentors that he looked up to, giving him advice he couldn’t get anywhere else.
In addition to feeling good about the work he is doing, Capestany is learning from each of his students.
Edward Yoo, a fourth year PharmD student, recently had a rotation with Capestany’s clinic. Yoo said that there are many different types of preceptors – some who are very career-focused in the advice they give, while others are more personal and give both professional advice and life lessons.
Capestany makes a concentrated effort to be a positive person in his students’ lives. He wants them to succeed and feel confident in their skills.
The College of Pharmacy is pleased to announce that Julie Legg, PharmD, was named the director of Experiential Education effective August 1, 2017. Legg is taking over for Donnie Sullivan who held the title for the past three years.
A Buckeye for life, Legg received her bachelor of science in pharmacy and PharmD from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, and has been a faculty member for 20 years. In 2001, Legg received the Miriam R. Balshone Memorial Award for Distinguished Teaching.
Legg’s favorite part of the her position is that it allows her to interact with students in all four years of the PharmD program and develop relationships with many preceptors in a wide variety of practice settings.
