PPEE: About PPEE

Addressing the needs of pharmacy practitioners who are at the point of care is one of the most important initiatives at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Proactive involvement by the School in this area benefits our students, the state’s pharmacists, and the people of North Carolina. The Division of Pharmacy Practice and Experiential Education supports and develops this mission by providing evaluation, development, and education initiatives. By educating practitioners and students, as well as developing leaders in clinical practice, administration, and management, DPPEE helps ensure that pharmacy practitioners have the resources and support systems to continually refine their expertise. This in turn improves patient outcomes as pharmacists continue to provide and promote safe and effective medication-use practices to residents in the state.

DPPEE aims to advance the practice of pharmacy through

  1. Practice innovation
  2. Education
  3. Scholarship
  4. Interface with the practice community in order to improve patient outcomes.

This mission will be accomplished by

  1. Providing and promoting safe and effective medication-use practices to the residents of North Carolina.
  2. Educating students and practitioners, through didactic and experiential learning, on the optimal use of drugs by individuals and communities.
  3. Developing, implementing and evaluating innovative practice models and teaching methods.
  4. Conducting scholarly activities related to practice and teaching.
  5. Developing leaders in clinical practice, administration, and management.
  6. Participating and serving in leadership roles in local, state, national, and international organizations that focus primarily on pharmacist-provided care
  7. Establishing partnerships, strategic alliances, and collaborations to advance the mission.
