Our Team

What Sets Us Apart: Our Preceptors

At the heart of our program is a team of over thirty exceptional clinical pharmacy specialists who serve as oncology preceptors throughout your residency year. These individuals bring a rich diversity of practice experience and specialized expertise, with many recognized nationally for their contributions to oncology pharmacy.

Our preceptors are not only practitioners—they are leaders. They present locally, nationally, and internationally, shaping the future of oncology pharmacy through education and innovation. This breadth of experience offers residents a unique opportunity to benefit from multiple mentorship styles and perspectives.

What truly defines our preceptors is their genuine commitment to your growth. Mentorship is a cornerstone of our program and is formally integrated across the department. At UNC, we prioritize your professional development and support you every step of the way.

The size and structure of our residency program also foster strong peer connections. You’ll build lasting friendships with fellow residents, creating a supportive network that extends well beyond your training year. Upon graduation, you’ll join a vibrant community of colleagues and friends who continue to grow and collaborate together.
