(Ankeny) An Atlantic native received the Iowa Pharmacy Association’s Thomas R. Temple Mentorship Award.
CoraLynn Trewet began her journey with the Iowa Pharmacy Association (IPA) in 2011 as the Executive Intern. She was mentored by CEO Emeritus Tom Temple, his staff and many IPA members. A graduate of Drake University, Dr. Trewet was mentored by Renae Chesnut, Darrel Bjornson and several other impactful faculty members. She completed a Pharmacy Management Residency and Masters in Pharmacy Administration from the University of Kansas while mentored by Harold Godwin.

According to her nominators, Dr. Trewet’s mentorship is “invaluable” to her mentees’ personal and professional growth. She is “invested” in the students she mentors, pushing them to be confident in their knowledge and abilities. Dr. Trewet never turns down an opportunity to provide guidance to future practitioners. As one nominator put it, “She always has time for YOU.”
