Pamela Joyner, EdD, MS Pharm, the associate dean for professional education at the UNC School of Pharmacy, is one of twenty-nine nominees selected to participate in the 2007-08 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Academic Leadership Fellows Program.
The program was developed to address the stated needs of AACP members for an intensive leadership and management development program. It is designed to help promising individuals at member institutions develop into future leaders in pharmacy and in higher education.
“This program provides opportunities for more interaction with leaders in pharmacy education and can broaden my understanding of the issues facing both pharmacy and higher education,” Joyner says.
The fellows will participate in four program meetings in the span of a year in addition to an assigned group project. The program will cover personal and interpersonal competencies for leadership, practical management responsibilities, and administrative competencies of an academic pharmacy administrator, as well as leadership in the external arena of advocacy and the profession. Fellows will be active participants in the 2008 AACP Annual Meeting and deliver presentations on their group projects in a special session.
Candidates for the program were nominated by the deans of their schools. The fellows were selected based on the strength of the nomination letter, the nominee’s letter of intent, and the proposed mentoring plan for the fellow’s involvement in leadership learning experiences at the home institution.
“This is a well-deserved reward for Pam,” says Robert Blouin, dean of the School. “Her experience and leadership have been invaluable in our mission to train exceptional pharmacists to help address North Carolina’s health-care needs. I’m happy to see her get the opportunity to participate in a program that will no doubt make her an even greater asset to the School.”
Joyner, who received her BS and MS degrees in pharmacy from UNC-Chapel Hill, directs the School’s External PharmD Program and is responsible for the Offices of Student Services, Curricular Affairs, Professional Experience, and Postgraduate Education, as well as the Pharmaceutical Care Labs.
