At the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, our online and residential degree programs prepare future health care leaders to manage highly complex and multi-faceted pharmacy enterprise operations. Here, we chat with Rebekah Matthews, Pharm.D., a current student in the School’s online master’s program (Class of ’22).
Q: Rebekah, what is your current role?
A: Senior Regional Director of Acute Care Pharmacy for Cone Health in Greensboro, N.C.
Q: What made you want to apply to the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy master’s program?
A: I had been considering a master’s degree for some time but was concerned about balancing work, school and family life. I had recently completed the ASHP Leadership Academy and was encouraged to pursue a formal degree. This online program appealed to me because it was pharmacy-focused, giving me an opportunity to layer projects for work and school. I explored several other online programs and ultimately decided on this program given the strong, long-standing reputation of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
Q: What is your favorite part of the program?
A: My favorite part of the program is the networking opportunity. Our class is made up of a variety of pharmacist experiences and practice settings. I enjoy the open discussion during class time and have learned from each of my classmates.
Q: How do you think this degree will advance your career?
A: I think my master’s degree will open additional leadership opportunities within pharmacy and outside pharmacy.
