Jackson, Miss. – August 18, 2008 - On May 12, Barbara Wells, University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy dean, announced the selection of Dr. G. Phillip “Phil”Ayers as the recipient of the 2008 Clinical Science Teaching Award. Dr. Ayers, a 20 year Baptist employee, serves as both a faculty member and preceptor for the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy Experiential Program, where the goal is to allow the student to apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to situations encountered in actual practice. His nutrition support rotation at Baptist is generally regarded as one of the best of its kind, both statewide and nationally. This honor takes on a special significance when you take into consideration Dr. Ayers is only a part-time faculty member and won the award over some really outstanding full-time faculty competition. No stranger to such honors, Dr. Ayers won this same award in 2007 and thus joins the ranks of the select few multiple winners.
