THREE lecturers from La Trobe University's Department of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences have been recognised for their teaching talents by British not-for-profit organisation, Advance Education.
Jason Buccheri, Jennifer Selkirk-Bell and Terri Meehan-Andrews, have been awarded Advance Higher Education Fellowships for their work in training pharmacists, the Bendigo Advertiser reported.
Speaking to the publication, Buccheri said the COVID-19 pandemic had changed the way pharmacy is taught, with classes going online.
"I miss the corridor conversations and the chat before and after classes," he said.
"Students telling you where they are applying for a particular job and offering guidance is one of the most rewarding aspects of the role."
Buccheri added that the university's pharmacy program was delivering for the local community with students from the course securing employment in the Victorian city.
"Hospital pharmacy intake is very competitive and our course is well presented in this year's intake," he said.
"Of the two available positions at Bendigo Hospital, both were filled by Bendigo students."
