DPPEE includes thirty-four salaried faculty and six staff members. This number includes:

• Twelve salaried faculty on campus
• Thirteen fully-funded AHEC faculty positions off-campus
• Twenty cofunded faculty positions.

The division operates three programs:

• The Postgraduate/Continuing Education Program: The PGCE sponsors and cosponsors many types of programs. It offers regional, statewide, and a limited number of national and international seminars, workshops, certificate programs, and residency programs to advance pharmaceutical care knowledge and skills. The PGCE Program predominantly partners with the nine regional Area Health Education Centers and the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists to assist the state’s pharmacists in advancing their practices.
• The Professional Experience Program: The PEP is a system of practice experiences that models the delivery of pharmaceutical care. The program provides PharmD students with a structured, supervised program to participate in the practice of pharmacy. More than 500 pharmacy preceptors in 275 sites across North Carolina serve students through a network of Area Health Education Centers, giving pharmacy students a unique venue in which to practice their skills. In addition, more than 25 AHEC- and community-based pharmacy faculty support the Professional Experience Program along with selected pharmacists who have been recognized by the School as preceptors.

• The Pharmaceutical Care Lab: Also known as the Skills Lab, the PCL is an award-winning element of the UNC teaching philosophy. Students begin Skills Lab during their first week at the School, and it continues on a weekly basis until the spring of their third year. The PCL is a fundamental building block in realizing the mission of the DPPEE because it provides an opportunity for students to practice and develop general and professional abilities in a controlled environment.
