– Laura Atiyeh
I’m so thankful that I had Amanda as my preceptor for my first direct patient care rotation of residency at BC Children’s and Women’s Hospital.
Amanda expertly led by example as an integral member of the team and it was inspiring to see. Since day one, she was able to quickly create a safe learning environment, where I consistently felt heard and motivated. She also provided me with many opportunities to help further refine my knowledge and skills. It was clear to me that Amanda truly cared for my learning and that with her guidance, I was able to grow in several ways as a resident.
Amanda’s wealth of knowledge and care for her patients is not only evident to me, but also to the staff at C&W pharmacy. Her passion for teaching and willingness to always help others deserves recognition and I have no doubt that with her new role in Pediatric Complex Pain at C&W, she will continue to positively impact her future learners and patients.
