The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy has convened a working group to examine and consider a transformation of the School’s graduate program in the pharmaceutical sciences. The group consists of faculty members from the School’s five divisions, graduate students and a representative from the UNC Health Sciences Library.
A contemporary, highly effective pharmaceutical sciences graduate program is a fundamental component of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, said Kim Brouwer, Pharm.D., Ph.D., associate dean for research and graduate education.
“Our objective is to ensure that we enroll, educate, and graduate outstanding pharmaceutical scientists who are optimally prepared for success and highly recruited by the public and private sectors,” Brouwer said.
A kick-off retreat with the graduate faculty of the School was held on March 5 to discuss a proposed framework for curricular transformation and to obtain feedback to guide the process.
