New for 2027! NCAP is seeking a pharmacist or recent pharmacy school graduate for an Executive Fellowship in Practice Advancement. This Fellow will work with our Practice Advancement staff on projects dedicated solely to community pharmacy-based opioid stewardship efforts across North Carolina. 
The fellowship program is made possible by a multi-year grant designed to expand of the role of pharmacists across North Carolina in the prevention of overdose and infectious disease related to illicit drug use, as well as to facilitate access to treatment for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD).
This fellowship is ideal for a pharmacist who is highly self-motivated, has experience in community pharmacy, and has an interest in improving the lives of individuals with OUD. The two-year fellowship would begin in early July 2027.
