Practitioner Faculty Application

Anyone interested in serving as a University of Texas College of Pharmacy practitioner-faculty member should contact the regional director closest to them geographically.

The application process includes completion of the Practitioner-Faculty Profile. This is a Word document that may be downloaded to your desktop. You may type directly into this form in the shaded fields. Please note that your initials (where indicated) and signature are required on the printed copy for submission. You may not submit this application on-line. If you are not currently a preceptor with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, you must also complete their application. It may be downloaded from http://www.tsbp.state.tx.us/infocist/preceptor.htm Please note that both of these applications must be submitted in hard copy, since both require original signatures.

Three letters of recommendation are also required. They should be addressed to:

Dean M. Lynn Crismon
College of Pharmacy
The University of Texas at Austin
1 University Station A1900
Austin, TX 78712-0120

All of the following information:

the Practitioner-Faculty Profile
the TSBP preceptor application
your resume or CV
three letters of recommendation

must be mailed to the attention of the regional director. Please contact the regional director in your area to obtain the appropriate mailing address.

ADDITIONALLY, current practitioner-faculty for UT are required to register in the college's internship database by following the instructions below:

The URL to log on and claim your UT EID is:  https://utdirect.utexas.edu/phirst/prec_log.WBX

This process will take approximately 5 minutes. This site is a "secure UTDirect service", meaning that you must log in with your UT EID and password. If you know your UT EID and password you may log in immediately. If you do NOT know your UT EID, you should first click either the "I forgot my UT EID or password" link. If you arrive at a point where the system tells you it is unable to reset your password, please contact the office you are directed to in the response for assistance. This is usually either the Office of the Registrar (in the case of UT alumni) or the ITS Helpdesk. If you do NOT have a UT EID, then select the "I need a UT EID" link.

The following instructions are provided to UT Preceptors who do NOT currently have a UT EID and have selected the "I need a UT EID" link.

Select "Get a UT EID" and click continue.

Answer the four questions describing your relationship with UT (please note that in the last question if you selected "yes" and your facility is not listed, then you should select "no") and click continue.

Provide personal information and click continue.

Set up password reset questions (you must select all three and provide answers) and click continue.

Set password and password hint, then click continue.

Confirm information and scroll to the bottom and select "create my UT EID" (provided no changes are needed).

Write down your UT EID and password to keep in a safe location only for you to use and this information should not be kept on or near your computers.

PLEASE CHECK FIRST TO SEE IF YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE A UT EID--ALL ALUMNI HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED AN EID, SO USE THE ONE ALREADY IDENTIFIED WITH YOUR UT RECORD!! THE COLLEGE CAN CHECK FOR YOU IF YOU ARE UNSURE.

Once you have obtained your UT EID, please complete steps 8-10 below to authenticate your status in PhIRST.

Go to the URL: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/phirst/prec_log.WBX

Enter your UT EID and password. The system will acknowledge that you are now logged on.

Click OK. You should get a message in PhIRST - Preceptor Registration stating that your information has been recorded (e.g., "Your information has been recorded successfully. Thank you for participating.").

If you do NOT get this message or a similar one, please go to the URL: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/phirst/prec_log.WBX again and it should provide you the message above.

Please do NOT forget to authenticate your status in PhIRST after obtaining your UT EID. This is a critical step!

Thank you for your interest in The University of Texas College of Pharmacy Internship Program!
