Overview
Cape Fear Valley Pharmacy Residency Programs are designed to develop confident, well-rounded clinical pharmacists through comprehensive training in patient care, teaching, and scholarly activity. The programs place strong emphasis on the advancement of clinical decision-making and practice skills across a broad spectrum of healthcare settings, supported by mentorship from a diverse team of experienced preceptors. Residents complete a formal teaching certificate in conjunction with Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and have appointments as clinical instructors, gaining valuable experience in both didactic instruction and experiential precepting of pharmacy students. Through these roles, residents refine their communication, leadership, and educational skills in real-world academic and clinical environments. Residents also engage in meaningful research and scholarly activities aimed at enhancing their analytical thinking, problem-solving, and ability to generate and disseminate evidence-based knowledge. The program ultimately prepares residents to become adaptable, independent practitioners equipped to excel in a variety of professional settings.
