Tanana Chiefs Conference is proud to congratulate Brittany Karns, PharmD, on receiving the 2025 Patient Care Practice Preceptor Excellence Award from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy. This national honor recognizes exceptional mentors in the field of pharmacy who go above and beyond in guiding and educating the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Dr. Karns, a dedicated member of the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center (CAIHC) pharmacy team, was praised by her students as not only a knowledgeable and compassionate mentor, but as someone who fostered a warm, supportive environment during their clinical rotations. “She taught us not just about medicine, but about how to be good people,” one student shared.
In her humility, Dr. Karns credited the entire TCC pharmacy team for the award, embodying the true spirit of Ch’eghwtsen’—working together with respect, empathy, and shared purpose.
TCC celebrates this well-deserved recognition and thanks Brittany for her continued leadership in patient care and education.
