The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy has received a $50,000 grant from the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation to establish a new PGY1 community pharmacy residency site in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The School will use its grant to fund a new residency site at Kroger in Raleigh. The site’s preceptors are Jane DeVries, PharmD; Ouita Davis, RPh; Laura Cates, RPh; and Matt Smith, PharmD.
The grant comes via the NACDS’s Community Pharmacy Residency Expansion Project, a $1.5 million program established in 2010 that seeks to create thirty new, fully accredited PGY1 community pharmacy residencies through grants to nonprofit schools and colleges of pharmacy. This is the second consecutive year the School has received a grant from the project. In 2011, the NACDS awarded a grant to support the School’s residency site in Asheville.
Grant recipients are determined based on the recommendations of an independent-review committee comprised of representatives from the American Association of College of Pharmacy, the American Pharmacists Association, and the NACDS Foundation.
