Pharmacy: The Need Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Labor,Occupational Outlook Handbook 2008-09 reportsemployment of pharmacists is expected to increasemuch faster than average through 2016. In 2008 the National Association ofChain Drug Stores reported thatthe nation’s chain stores alone had5,705 unfilled pharmacy positions.
Pharmacy: The Need A 2002 study of the pharmacist workforce in NC bythe Sheps Center for Health Services Researchreported both a pharmacist shortage in the state aswell as significant imbalances with respect to type ofemployment setting and rural location. A 2007 article published in the Journal of theAmerican Pharmacists Association indicates theshortage of pharmacists in the U.S. will continue forthe foreseeable future.
Pharmacy: The Need In 2008 the Pharmacy Manpower Project foundWisconsin and North Carolina to be the two states withthe most acute shortage of pharmacists. In 2007 a life sciences company that would haveresulted in 30 million in new capital investment and1,000 jobs considered moving to Greensboro but didnot because the total number of pharmacists within a30 mile radius was inadequate for their needs.
Existing Capacity Recently UNC Chapel Hill received 800 applicationsfor 155 positions in its School of Pharmacy. Wingate University received 1,112applications for 70 seats; ratios forCampbell University are similar. Elizabeth City State University satellite program withUNC Chapel Hill serves approximately 20 students perclass via distance education.
