As the world becomes more culturally diverse in a globalized society and economy, it is critical that we provide our graduates with the skills and experiences needed to make a difference on human health worldwide.
Rural Pharmacy Health Certificate Program
The demand for pharmacists is often higher in rural communities where access to medical services may be limited by geography, distance and economic challenges. Our Rural Pharmacy Health Certificate program prepares student pharmacists for collaborative, interprofessional practices that serve the health care needs of North Carolinians living in rural and small communities.
Global Pharmacy Scholars
Our Global Pharmacy Scholars (GPS) program sends more than 50 students annually to one of nine international locations for a one-month Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience rotation. Students are exposed to different health care systems, cultures, and may participate in research initiatives at select sites.
