Joel Farley, Ph.D.

Joel Farley, Ph.D., has been promoted to full professor in the Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy.

Farley joined the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in 2006 as an assistant professor in the department and was named an associate professor in 2012. He was elected and inducted into the American Pharmacists Association as a fellow in 2014.

Farley’s principal research interest focuses on how prescription medications are managed by the evolution of public policies. His other research concentrates on pharmacoepidemiology and pharmaceutical outcomes.

“Dr. Farley has contributed consistently and strongly to the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in research, teaching, and service, and he is an outstanding citizen,” said Betsy Sleath, Ph.D., the chair of DPOP and the George H. Cocolas Distinguished Professor. “He is always willing to help, whether it be in teaching, service or research.”

Farley has over 50 peer-reviewed publications on a range of topics that assess how effective, accessible and affordable medications are among different populations of patients.

“The importance of his work is reflected not only in how much his work is cited, but also his invited commentaries and editorials,” Sleath said. “Other researchers follow his work closely as a leader.”

Farley received his Bachelor of Science in pharmacy from the University of Wisconsin and Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Minnesota, where he completed a managed care pharmaceutical outcomes dissertation fellowship before coming to UNC.
