Asheville was considered the natural choice for locating a second satellite pharmacy program because of the close working partnership between the UNC Asheville, Mission Health System, and UNC-Chapel Hill. The satellite program in Asheville, like its counterpart in Elizabeth City, will educate more pharmacists in an area of North Carolina that doesn't have enough health-care providers in general.
"We are delighted with the speed with which this expansion is moving forward," said Dale Fell, MD, vice president and chief medical officer of Mission Health System. "Given the shortage of pharmacists in the eighteen western North Carolina counties, it can't come soon enough."
The UNC Eshleman School of Pharmacy recognized the need for more health-care practitioners in Western North Carolina and made expansion into the area part of its strategic plan five years ago, Blouin said. The satellite program could enroll up to forty doctor of pharmacy students a year. The doctor of pharmacy, or PharmD is the professional degree required to practice as a pharmacist.
does anyone actually know how the job climate is in western NC and if this area actually has a legitimate shortage?
