DRIVEN BY A LOVE OF TEACHING Doug Black, left, talks with PharmD students. Black has been a popular Department of Pharmacy professor and preceptor for more than 20 years. D oug Black's ability to connect with students has made him well-liked among PharmD students since he first joined the Department of Pharmacy in 1989. Black, who teaches classes in pharmacotherapeutics and infectious disease, is known for tailoring his lectures to meet each group's needs and for his enthusiasm for his subject matter. Like many of his faculty colleagues, Black also serves as a preceptor to future pharmacists. As part of the UW Medical Center's Division of Infectious Diseases health care team, he mentors several pharmacy residents and PharmD students on rotation each year. Patients in this unit are facing diseases ranging from HIV/AIDS to rare infections that can have devastating symptoms. That so many students and residents finish Black's rotation with a newfound interest in working in infectious disease units is a testament to his clinical skills. One lesson he teaches his mentees is that it is essential to consider the specific needs and issues of each patient when determining the right combination of medications. There is no "one size fits all" in pharmacotherapy. Just as, for Black, there is no "one size fits all" in teaching. His personal approach is one of the reasons he has received the UW's highest teaching honor — the Distinguished Teaching Award. And it's just one of the reasons why the PharmD program is known for innovation in education.
