Experiential education provides experiences in real-life settings. In pharmacy education, the experiential component is designed to provide in-depth exposure to and active participation in all pharmacy practice settings. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy offers an integrated curriculum where experiential education is dispersed throughout the professional program.

The Office of Experiential Education provides quality sites for students to put into practice the information that they have received throughout the innovative curriculum. The Office of Experiential Education also serves as a vital link between the School of Pharmacy and the practicing pharmacists in the state of North Carolina who serve as preceptors.

We trust that the Professional Experience Program will serve you well, preparing you for the real challenges you will face in your careers.
