About the Preceptor

Nate Hemberg, PharmD

Residency preceptor since 2008

Nathan Hemberg received his doctor of pharmacy from Campbell University in May 2006. Since graduating he has been employed as a pharmacist at Carolina Apothecary in Reidsville, North Carolina. His passion for patient care motivated him to help create the clinical care programs at Carolina Apothecary, which include a medication-therapy-management program and an immunizations program.

Hemberg has his hypertension and immunizations specialty certificate along with training courses from PCCA in compounding and PCCA’s aseptic technique compounding course. He is an adjunct clinical professor at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy and at Campbell University. He precepts introductory and advanced community pharmacy students at his site. Hemberg is also a clinical pharmacist practitioner (CPP), which means he has a collaborative practice agreement with a physician and can modify medication therapy for certain disease states as needed based on the physician protocol.

Hemberg is a board member for the Free Clinic of Rockingham County, where he sits on the clinical services committee. He has been active in volunteering for the clinic’s chronic disease state management program and helped develop the clinic’s prescription formulary plan. Hemberg worked part-time in 2008 at the Rockingham Counsel on Aging, where he focused on medication management sessions with the elderly. His article, “Decongestant Use in Hypertension," was published in the July 2006 U.S. Pharmacist.
