Talk:UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy

COI declaration

Much of the information on this page needs to be edited as they are either out of date or not really relevant to the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy (the sections about the AHEC, for instance). I'm planning to do a major overhaul of the page in the coming days.

Regarding the note about the major contributor having close ties with the school: I do work at the school, which is why I knew that much of the old information in the article was incorrect, outdated, or not actually relevant to the school. However, if you examine the content I've contributed, I think it's pretty obvious all of the information provided are facts (research dollar amount, programs offered, name of buildings, etc.).

I stubified this. it was sourced almost entirely from the school's website and there was lots of copyvio. needs to be rebuilt from independent sources. i removed the COI tag after stubifying. Jytdog (talk) 13:22, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Jytdog deletions of viable and referenced content

Unsure how my edits were mirroring the schools website when they were referenced with non-unc websites and mirrored other school of pharmacy wiki pages. In the it history appears as though you have repeatedly truncated content on this page, in most cases without justification. I would prefer not to report you for disruptive editing.

I understand from your userpage that you are a UNC alum. That means that you have an external connection, and have a conflict of interest in Wikipedia. I'll leave a note at your talk page about management of conflicts of interest in Wikipedia, and add the "connected" tag above. btw please do read the note at the bottom of the mustard-colored box at the top of this page, along with WP:BOOSTER and WP:PROMO - this page cannot become a proxy for the school's website -- and making website-like content from a directory is just doing that, less directly.

What does this edit note, COI was added to talk page and links to Nature Index were removed since other editors viewed them as advertising rather than referencing mean? How is that a reason restore promotional content? (real question) Jytdog (talk) 02:54, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Some proposed changes

Edits are Addition of divisions, centers, deans and degrees thanks SithLordSparklePants (talk)

Extended content

UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Beard Hall, one of the buildings housing the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Established 1897 Location University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with a branch campus in Asheville Website UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a satellite campus at UNC Asheville. U.S. News & World Report ranked the Eshelman School the #1 pharmacy school in the United States in 2016. The school is named after alumni Dr. Fred Eshelman, in part, because of his nearly one-hundred and forty million dollars donated to the school. Divisions There are five divisions in the school that span the pharmaceutical development pipeline from discovery to implementation. The division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry has a focus on drug discovery with areas of research that include optimization of pharmaceuticals through structure–activity relationship, pharmacoinformatics (as noted by Alexander_Tropsha), and high-throughput screening as performed in Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery (CICBDD). After a pharmaceutical is discovered, it requires formulation for optimal delivery. The Division of Pharmacoengineering and Molecular Pharmaceutics optimizes the delivery of drug. They use drug delivery carriers such as nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, stem cells, and adeno-associated virus to delivery therapies such as chemotherapeutics, vaccines (as noted by Kristy Ainslie), small interfering RNA, and immunotherapy to treat diseases like cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. This division houses the Center for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery (CNDD). After a pharmaceutical is introduced into the body, a better understanding of the toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics is needed. Gaining this understanding is the focus of the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics. This division has research interests in clinical pharmacology, and development of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and other drug detection methods to advance treatments for HIV, cancer, and other diseases. The Center for Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy is housed in this division. After rigorous testing and FDA approval a pharmacist is required to dispense and council on the medication. Training of and pedagogy for pharmacists is carried out primarily by the Division of Practice Advancement and Clinical Education. Finally, after a medication has been on the market, optimization of how the drug is provided is the area of research for the Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy. Degrees Three degrees are offered by the school. They offer a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), which is a professional degree and a requirement to become a pharmacist. In 2014, the school's PharmD program went under a renaissance, changing its curriculum entirely to focus on flipped-classrooms, active learning, and early immersion into experiential learning. A Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences (PhD) is also offered by the school. As part of this program, students perform research in one of the focus areas of the school's divisions. A Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (MS) is also offered, but only in the field of Health System Pharmacy Administration Deans Robert A. Blouin was dean of the school from 2003 to 2017; when he was promoted to provost in 2017, Dhiren Thakker was appointed interim dean.

  Improvements are needed

• The context needed for readers to follow along is missing in the sections Divisions, Centers, and Degrees, per #7 of WP:NOTADIRECTORY. This context might be clearer if the information was placed as prose.
• The list of deans would work, but it contains only 2 pieces of information — the date ranges and the names — meaning a simple list, rather than a table, would work better. (See UCSF School of Pharmacy.)

Also, section headers in the edit request proposal are not necessary, as they conflict with the talk page's own headers and needlessly complicate the table of contents.
When ready to proceed with these changes, either alter the template's parameter from ans=yes to ans=no or insert a new template under a level 2 heading. Thank you!  spintendo  10:44, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@SithLordSparklePants: Please make your edits here on the talk page only. Editing of the main article is strongly discouraged. Please read my suggestions above carefully, there are changes to the request that should be done here on the talk page before anything can be implemented. I will place the Deans into a simple list for you.  spintendo  11:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@Spintendo:Thanks User:Spintendo, sorry for the missunderstanding, I was unclear about your directions. I will try and work the bulleted lists into prose, but will not be able to do so immediately. Thanks for your time with this SithLordSparklePants (talk) 11:24, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
