 Dr. Carpenter is an assistant professor in the Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy. She is currently involved in diverse research projects such as developing online training module for community pharmacist (suicide prevention and naloxone overdose) and for health professionals to learn how to make decision on pediatric opioid usage. Also, she has a project that collaborates with Monash and UCL where she is developing an app that monitors medical non-adherence of the patient.
Unlike other professors, she received phD in public health and focused on medical adherence during her graduate school. After, she received a postdoctoral award in NIH she got recruited as a research assistant professor in University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy. She is currently teaching Social & Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Use course, which addresses health behavioral series for medication use. In this course, students get to learn about diverse factors that influence medication adherence and several theories that would improve medication adherence of the patient. She is also co-directing the RASP (Research and Scholarship in Pharmacy) project for pharmacy students in UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Lastly we asked Dr. Carpenter for any comments to students who are interested in the field she is currently in.. “Take advantage of PharmAlliance opportunity! I am currently working with pharmD students from UCL as part of their research rotation, so be aware that you can be involved in research projects from different schools. If you are interested in working in research, take advantage of PharmAlliance and reach out to the researchers in different campuses.”
