Traylor Named Preceptor of the Year
Mike Traylor from Princeton, Kentucky has been named the 2011 UK
College of Pharmacy Preceptor of the Year. He was formally recognized for
this honor at the College’s Graduation Recognition ceremony on Friday,
May 6.
“Being around Dr. Traylor for one short month made me want to be
a better pharmacist and a better person,” a pharmacy student said in
Traylor’s nomination letter. “There is no one I can think of who is a better
example of how to live a life in service to others. Dr. Traylor truly lives the
Oath of a Pharmacist: He certainly has devoted himself to a lifetime of
service to others through the profession of pharmacy.”
Traylor is a UK College of Pharmacy alumnus (BS and PharmD, 1985) who
has served in a variety of pharmacy settings since receiving his UK degree.
Traylor has served as a preceptor for the College of Pharmacy for more
than 20 years, serving as a mentor and confidant for numerous pharmacy
students.
“To help the students learn the practice of pharmacy and realize they can
be outstanding young pharmacists is very rewarding,” Traylor says.
Since 1997, Traylor has been the Director of Pharmacy Services for Corner
Homecare, which serves patients in Western Kentucky and Southern
Indiana. Their primary practice is home infusion, though he also oversees a
community pharmacy and a consulting pharmacy practice.
He was named Pharmacist of the Year by the Kentucky Society of Health System Pharmacists in 1997 and is an active member of
the Kentucky Pharmacists Association and American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.
Traylor and his wife, Kim, reside in Princeton, Kentucky. Their daughter, Shelley, just completed her sophomore year at UK. He
volunteers and serves as Pharmacist-in-Charge for the Caldwell County Free Clinic Pharmacy and serves on the Caldwell County
Board of Education. He also serves in various positions in their church.
