Thank you 2026 Preceptors

Every year, the Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) is made possible by an incredible group of healthcare professionals who generously open their practices, share their expertise, and give students an authentic look at life in healthcare. We can't thank our preceptors enough for the time, encouragement, and mentorship they provide.

For many students, HIP is their first opportunity to experience healthcare beyond the classroom. It's an experience that often shapes future career decisions, and we're proud that many former HIP students have gone on to become clinicians themselves.
