2021 Inspirational Preceptor/Mentor Award

Dr. David Campbell (recipient)

Nominated by Simarprit Sidhu

“Dr. Campbell has provided me the opportunity to continue gaining research experiences. As an early career clinician–scientist, he mentors many nurses at the UofC. Dr. Campbell is a strong supporter of nursing and the role of RNs in the health-care system and in health research. During my project, Dr. Campbell’s care and compassion inspired me to strive for excellence in which I could ask questions without fear. His resilience and patient demeanour, even amidst stressful situations, are skills that I hope to integrate into my nursing career. He conveys a genuine interest in the success of others whether big or small, but also is supportive when an unfavourable outcome arises.”
