Dr. Cherry Maynor Beasley, associate dean of the College of Health Sciences at UNC Pembroke, will be lending her expertise as a newly appointed member of the newly created Eastern NC Advisory Board for the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. 

 

Comprised of selected pharmacy alumni and partners, the Board’s mission is to advance recruitment, training, practice, research and service in eastern North Carolina as well as help foster the growth of future North Carolina pharmacists. 

 

“Over many decades, our school has demonstrated significant success in education, practice, and scholarship in western North Carolina,” said Dr. Angela Kashuba, dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in a press release. “Over the past year, we have seen growing opportunities for the school in eastern North Carolina with several partners, including the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers, community pharmacies and health systems.”

 

Dr. Beasley is one of 12 professionals from Eastern North Carolina representing pharmacy, medicine, nursing and dentistry. 

 

“This board brings an inter-professional focus to developing the pharmacists of tomorrow to better prepare them for working in often hard-to-reach, under-resourced communities,” Beasley shared in a press release.

 

Beasley herself is a internationally recognized expert in public health and founding chair of UNCP’s Department of Nursing––since renamed the McKenzie-Elliott School of Nursing. Beasley was also named a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing in 2020 and also currently serves as the Belk Endowed Professor for Rural and Minority Health.
