Wendy Cox, PharmD, currently the director of student services at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, has been promoted to assistant dean of professional education.
“This promotion is well deserved. Wendy Cox has done exceptional work as a member of the faculty and as director of student services,” says Robert A. Blouin, dean of the School. “This new position is critical to the success of the School as our professional education program continues to expand and evolve.”
Cox is a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Pharmacy Practice and Experiential Education. During her tenure in student services, the School’s PharmD enrollment grew from approximately 120 students per year to more than 150 students based both in Chapel Hill and at a satellite partnership program at Elizabeth City State University. With an additional satellite program based in Asheville, N.C., set to open in 2011, the School expects to enroll an additional twenty to twenty-five next year.
Cox received her doctor of pharmacy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1998. She then completed a pharmacy practice residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in 1999 and a primary care specialty residency affiliated with Campbell University in 2000. She then worked as an Area Health Education Center faculty member, serving as coordinator of pharmacy education at the Northwest AHEC in Winston-Salem, N.C., and then as the director of pharmacotherapy services at the Wake AHEC with a clinical practice in primary care. She joined the School in 2005.
