President’s Ledger While the College has

expanded from our core program in pharmacy, one thing has not changed – the students who attend Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences share a common desire to help people. Whether it’s as pharmacists, laboratory professionals, research scientists, public health advocates, or in other capacities, our students want to make the world a better, healthier place.

This year’s President’s Report shines a spotlight on those individuals and organizations at ACPHS who are making a positive impact in the community. As you read, please keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg. For as many programs and initiatives as there are highlighted here, many more could not be included due to space limitations.

The commitment to service that exists today at ACPHS is not a new development. It is part of the fabric of the College. I noticed it immediately upon joining ACPHS in 1998.

In speaking with many alumni through the years, I know that this characteristic trait has

been present for decades, perhaps even dating back to the earliest days of the institution. It’s also been quickly adopted by the students and faculty on our Vermont Campus.

I have spent many years in higher education, and I am not aware of another group of students that is more committed to service than our own. That is why it does not surprise me when ACPHS raises more money for the American Cancer Society than any school of comparable size in the country. Or when Colleges Against Cancer, a nationwide organization comprised of chapters from nearly 500 schools, recognized ACPHS as its 2011 Chapter of the Year.

In addition to supporting those who are ill or suffering, there are several other programs at the College that seek to help people from disadvantaged backgrounds. ACPHS students volunteering at the Koinonia Care Clinic help treat residents in one of the most economically depressed sections of Albany.

Programs such as the ACPHS Academy and the Summer Enrichment Program, which are

supported by both our students and faculty, nurture students’ interests in the sciences beginning in third grade and continuing all the way through high school.

As the College dedicates additional resources to fostering global initiatives, this spirit of community service is extending far beyond the Capital Region and Vermont to places such as Guatemala, Belize, Dominica, and Hispaniola.

When you read these stories and see this selflessness and compassion on display, you can’t help but be inspired. You will also feel good knowing that the future is in very good hands.

The Magic of Science Grade school students thrive in afterschool science program

On a pleasant winter afternoon, a caravan of yellow school buses pulls up to the ACPHS campus. The doors open, and students spanning grades three through six come bounding out. They line up at the front door and then head upstairs for their classes at the ACPHS Academy.

Now in its sixth year, the ACPHS Academy is an afterschool enrichment program that brings elementary and middle school students to the campus for specialized science instruction. The classes are taught by local schoolteachers. They are assisted in the classroom by ACPHS students who serve as mentors to the young scholars. The classes meet for two hours a day, two days a week, for ten weeks each semester. Each year culminates with a science fair and a graduation ceremony which is attended by the students’ families along with members of the College community.

According to ACPHS President James Gozzo, Ph.D., the Academy was created to give younger students with an interest in science the opportunity to explore the subject in greater depth. “We target mostly youths with average grades, but who show an interest in science,” he says. “We try to inspire them and hope to help them reach their potential.”

A similar program is held on the ACPHSVermont campus, where an additional 40 students are enrolled.

The Academy gives the children a chance to do hands-on experiments and learn the basics of scientific research. “Our focus is problem-based, not a classroom lecture,” Dr. Gozzo says. “But we don’t tell the students how to solve problems. We challenge them to find solutions on their own.”

ACPHS Academy scholars work closely with students from the College on a variety of science projects. The program concludes each year with a graduation ceremony and science fair where the young students receive diplomas and showcase what they have learned.

Rebecca Beach, the director of the ACPHS Academy, says the program has been shown to help students improve their core math and science skills. “Nearly every student in the program passes the New York State fourth grade science exam with a score of 3 or 4, which are the highest scores you can get,” Beach says. “Our Academy students typically perform better on these tests than their peers who are not in the program.”

The program also seeks to inspire students to one day attend college and perhaps even come to ACPHS. “In addition to what they learn in the classroom, we also take them on tours of the campus so they can see all aspects of a college student’s life,” Beach says. Students who continue in the program and do well in high school are eligible for scholarships to ACPHS, should they attend college here, she says.

The Academy program began in 2007 with 20 third graders from the Delaware Community School and has expanded to include students from the Brighter Choice Charter School. Each year the program adds 20 more students while retaining the ones who came the previous year. Today, there are nearly 120 students in the third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth grades across both campuses. “Some of the

older students who began with the Delaware Community School are now seventh and eighth graders. They are still interested in continuing with the program, but their school commitments have made scheduling much more difficult,” Beach says.

“We’re still working out new ways to keep them involved.”

Jendayi Womack, 10, a fifth grader, says she liked making “ooblek,” a gooey mixture of cornstarch and water (named after a Dr. Seuss character) that’s used to demonstrate that matter can be both a liquid and a solid.

“As a liquid, it’s free to wiggle around, and as a solid, it can take the shape of whatever it’s in,” she says.

“ Any type of science is really exciting to me,” says Eric Bowens, a sixth grader who plans to study medicine someday.

It is the opportunity to work with the ACPHS student mentors that really helps motivate the young students to learn and excel.

Vinesh Sookhan, a third year pharmacy student who has been a mentor since his freshman year, says his role is to encourage the children to hone their problem solving skills. “I’ll show them the way, but they have to find the answers,” he says.

Through the years, the students have studied rocks, explored the human body, and learned about the solar system. Eric Bowens, 11, says he especially enjoyed the human body lessons where he learned about muscles, ligaments, and neurons. “Any type of science is really exciting to me,” says Bowens, a sixth grader who plans to study medicine someday. “I like science because it’s different than the other subjects.”

This year, Sookhan is helping two sixth grade students build a solar powered toy and exploring how the planet has been affected by gas emissions. “I see the kids becoming more mature and showing a growing interest in their projects,” he says. “It’s definitely a good program for encouraging their interests in the sciences.”

One Step at a Time Student Group Takes Up Fight Against Cancer Educating. Fundraising. Lobbying. For students in the ACPHS chapter of Colleges Against Cancer (CAC), these activities give them a voice in the fight against this devastating disease.

Each year since it was founded in 2007, the College’s CAC chapter has attracted 70 to 150 students with a passion for helping people whose lives have been touched by cancer. The chapter, which includes a companion group on the Vermont Campus, was formed in the 2007 by Sarah Scarpace, Pharm.D., BCOP, an associate professor and assistant dean for pharmacy professional affairs.

As a board certified oncology pharmacist, Dr. Scarpace often hears from students who want to study oncology after seeing how 6

cancer has affected loved ones. “Some of them are too emotionally involved to pursue it as a career,” says Dr. Scarpace, who serves as the group’s co-advisor along with Sal Bottiglieri, Pharm.D., an assistant professor of oncology and hematology, and Joanna Schwartz, Pharm.D., who is the faculty advisor for the Vermont Campus. “Colleges Against Cancer gives them another outlet.”

CAC’s signature event takes place each April, when students, faculty, and community members gather on the campus to walk from dusk until dawn in the Relay for Life.

During the event, team members take turns walking for 12 consecutive hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life is held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps.

“Judging from their results, you would think that ACPHS had a population 10 times its size.”

The Relay for Life event hosted by the ACPHS chapter of Colleges Against Cancer rallies community members to raise money for cancer research. Among schools its size, ACPHS has finished in the top five for fundraising in each of the past four years, finishing first in 2010.

In 2010, ACPHS was the top Relay for Life fundraiser in the country for colleges with fewer than 2,500 students, raising a whopping $41,603.97. In addition to Relay for Life, both the Albany and Vermont chapters have sizeable presences at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk each fall, collectively raising more than $5,000 last year.

According to Alex Baron, director of special events for the American Cancer Society in Albany, the ACPHS chapter was in the top five nationwide for per capita fundraising (dollars raised to students enrolled) in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011; they were number one per capita in 2010. “One of the impressive things about this chapter, is that in addition to the great fundraising work, they put a strong emphasis on education, advocacy, and survivorship,” Baron says. “Judging from their results, you would think that ACPHS had a population 10 times its size.”

Club members do many activities that benefit patients, family members, and the community (the chapter assisted with or initiated more than 45 such activities in 2011). One of the projects is cooking for HopeClub, formerly Gilda’s Club, a program for cancer survivors and their families. “Going there and seeing the young kids smiling is

really rewarding,” says Brittany Fitzpatrick, a fifth year pharmacy student who chairs the survivorship committee. The group also hosts holiday parties for pediatric patients and prepares care packages for patients at New York Oncology Hematology, a private practice in Albany.

Education is another key component of outreach activities. Walk around the campus, and you will see posters about the signs and symptoms of different cancers. CAC members can also be found staffing informational tables on the dangers of smoking in places such as Crossgates Mall in Guilderland.

The group also lobbies on behalf of people with cancer and their families. They’ve enlisted support for legislation that protects the rights of cancer patients, provides health insurance for smoking cessation programs, and promotes tighter regulation of tobacco by the federal government.

Given the scope of these activities, it is perhaps little surprise that the ACPHS chapter has garnered a number of national awards and honors. ACPHS was named by the American Cancer Society as the Outstanding Chapter of the Year in 2011 (after previously earning two honorable mentions), distinguishing themselves among 500

CAC chapters throughout the country. The chapter has also received a Leader of Hope award four years in a row, and in 2008, won the Advocacy Chapter of the Year award.

The accomplishments speak for themselves, but what inspires these students to join Colleges Against Cancer and make a difference? Most get involved because they have lost loved ones to cancer or know people affected by the disease. Michael Guariglia, a fifth year student who co-chairs Relay for Life, lost his grandfather to lung cancer and has an uncle with stage IV colon cancer.

He joined the group in 2008 and has since taken on several leadership roles.

“We cannot fight the fight for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer,” he says.

“We cannot endure the pain of chemo, the sickness involved with it, or even imagine the emotions that someone goes through when they are diagnosed.

“What we can do though is help raise money for research and support those who have the ability to find a cure. In the process, we can fight back against cancer by remembering those who we have lost and celebrating those who are survivors.”

For the Health of It

Take-back Program Adds New Dimension to Health Fair Stop in at the annual Mario M. Zeolla Health Fair at ACPHS, and it’s quickly apparent that a pharmacist is much more than someone in a lab coat who dispenses medication. As the event demonstrates so well, the modern pharmacist also educates the public about health, encourages preventive care, and assists in proper medication management.

macists Association’s Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP), which organizes the fair each year. “We’re really promoting health and wellness.”

What started as a showcase for student-led patient care projects in 2004 has evolved into a full-fledged health fair every October that now includes one of just a handful of medication take-back programs in the region (the fair is held in October to coincide with American Pharmacists Month).

As part of that mission, in 2010 the group began inviting visitors to clean out their medicine cabinets and bring their unused or expired medications to the Health Fair.

Working with local law enforcement officials, the drugs are collected at the event and – following the guidelines of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement – incinerated at a facility in Hudson Falls, NY.

“It’s our way to give back to the community,” says Sarah DeRuosi, a fifth year pharmacy student and president of the American Phar-

By safely disposing of unwanted medications, the program helps prevent these drugs from entering local waterways.

Students, with the assistance of faculty, offer a variety of services at the ACPHS Health Fair, ranging from blood pressure screenings to immunizations to a medication take-back program. In 2010, nearly 220 pounds of unused or expired medications were collected at the Health Fair and safely disposed.

According to the DEC, research has shown that continuous exposure to low levels of medications has altered the behavior and physiology of fish and aquatic life. “Many people flush their drugs down the toilet,” DeRuosi says, referencing an approach to drug disposal that had been advocated for years, but is now discouraged. “We don’t want them to do that anymore. Now they know they can bring them here.”

For several weeks after each take-back program, the College receives phone calls from those who were unable to attend and who want to know the date of the next collection event. This continued interest indicates that members of the surrounding communities appreciate the program and recognize its importance. As a result, the APhA-ASP has added a second take-back event to the calendar in the spring.

The take-back program also helps reduce access to prescription painkillers, which addresses an even greater public health problem: the growing epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse and overdoses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports this problem has reached disturbing levels, with 12 million people reporting that they used prescription painkillers for nonmedical reasons in 2010.

“We want to encourage health and wellness.

Pharmacy isn’t just about pills and medications.”

“Getting those drugs out of medicine cabinets is a major step toward reducing access,” says Jane Boyd, co-director of the Pharmacy Practice Lab and co-advisor to APhA-ASP. “We had more than 50 households that brought medications to us last year.” In 2010, approximately 220 pounds of overthe-counter and prescription drugs were collected. Remarkably, some of the prescriptions dated back to the 1960’s.

Despite the growing popularity of the take-back program, the central focus of the Health Fair remains the patient care booths that target a range of health related issues, including heart disease, diabetes, immunizations, and proper medication usage.

Recent health fairs have expanded from these core offerings to add health related organizations and services such as Albany Massage Therapy, CDPHP, the Albany chapter of the American Cancer Society, and even a farmer’s market. In the future,

organizers hope to offer eye exams and teeth cleanings.

“Our goal isn’t to just stay on campus,” says Sarah Botting, a fifth year pharmacy student and secretary for the group. “We try to work with local pharmacies, blood pressure clinics, and other groups and get them involved too.”

As the fair has expanded in recent years, it has attracted more people from outside the campus. Last October, the five-hour event drew 700 visitors. “We really want people to come back every year,” says Alex Goh, a fifth year pharmacy student and the APhA’s vice president of membership. “We want to encourage health and wellness. Pharmacy isn’t just about pills and medications.”

For the students, the Health Fair is an opportunity to also put their budding professionalism into practice, says Patty Tompkins, events manager for ACPHS, and the group’s co-advisor. “The goal of the Health Fair is to allow the students, working with faculty where appropriate, to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real life situations and hone their skills as health care professionals,” she says. “It’s really inspiring.”

Community Service Day On Saturday, March 24, 2012, more than 120 students, faculty, and staff from the College participated in the school’s Community Service Day. From morning through early evening, volunteers offered their assistance at a variety of local organizations, including: Boys and Girls Club of Albany, Habitat for Humanity, City Rescue Mission, Colonie Senior Service Center, and Delmar Place (a senior assisted living facility).

ACPHS also hosted a “Field Day” on the campus for students and families in the ACPHS Academy program (page 4), which featured outdoor sports and activities.

Forward Thinking

Program Helps Nurture Next Generation of Scientists Some high school students spend their summers toiling away as lifeguards or servers. Others attend camps or help out at home. But since 1998, nearly 100 students from the Capital Region have done scientific research at ACPHS through a unique summer program offered by the College in conjunction with the City of Albany.

The High School Summer Enrichment program at ACPHS was created to spur an interest in science and medicine among 12

inner city high school students says ACPHS President James Gozzo, Ph.D., who initiated the program shortly after being named the College’s president in 1998. “The objective is to expose students to opportunities in research that might not otherwise be available to them and encourage them to pursue careers in science. It’s a program that we feel is needed and important.”

Every summer, the six to eight students selected for the program spend six weeks

“The objective is to expose students to opportunities in research that might not otherwise be available to them and encourage them to pursue careers in science.

It’s a program that we feel is needed and important.”

High school students in the Summer Enrichment Program conduct scientific research with ACPHS faculty members. At the end of the program, the students discuss their findings via oral and poster presentations and receive certificates of accomplishment.

working with ACPHS faculty researchers.

Each researcher is teamed up with two students, who are recommended for the program by their guidance counselors.

“The students we enroll in the program have enjoyed and done well in their high school chemistry and biology courses,” says David Clarke, Ph.D., an associate professor of chemistry, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and advisor to the program. “Most of them have an interest in pursuing a career in the health or medical fields, but don’t yet know about many of the options available to them.” As part of their applications, all students must provide transcripts, PSAT scores, essays about their career goals, and what they hope to get from the program, he says.

Most of the students come from Albany High School and, as a result of the partnership with the City of Albany, are paid through the city’s summer youth employment program. The Summer Enrichment Program has also enrolled students from other public and private schools in the area, though those who are not residents of the City of Albany are not eligible for the stipend.

The projects the students are assigned depend on the faculty and their research interests. “We find out which faculty are able to take on a student or two, identify a project, and leave it to the faculty members to work out the students’ roles,” Dr. Gozzo says.

“Most projects involve gathering data, but the students also learn to collaborate.”

Last summer, students did research to gauge the effectiveness of the hepatitis B vaccine on hemodialysis patients; examined the effect of a phosphate hormone on smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels of patients with chronic kidney disease, and compared two methods for analyzing HbA1C in people with diabetes. “What they do helps take these studies from step A to step B,” Dr. Gozzo says.

In addition to their own research, the students tour area research labs and pharmaceutical companies, which in the past has included visits to Albany Medical Center, Albany Molecular Research, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, and Covidien. The tours are designed to help the students learn how the scientific community works together to understand disease and to develop treatments, Dr. Clarke says. “They get a chance to see the process of drug development in action, an opportunity that most other students don’t get,” he adds.

Jake Valentine, 21, of Albany, attended the program in 2007, and worked on research involving nanoparticles in the treatment of glaucoma with Shaker Mousa, Ph.D., Vice Provost for Research at ACPHS and chairman of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

Valentine says the summer enrichment pro-

gram taught him valuable laboratory techniques and gave him a better understanding of patents, the costs of drug research and development, and pharmaceutical marketing. It also introduced him to job opportunities in the pharmaceutical research field and even helped polish his public speaking skills.

“The independence we were given was great,” says Valentine, who is studying biology and philosophy at Tufts University and plans to go to medical school. “It forced us into a collaborative environment with a partner, rather than the traditional teacherstudent style of learning.”

Jake’s sister, Mia Valentine, a high school sophomore, is also hoping to get accepted into the program. Their mother, Jenny McErlean of Albany, says she was thrilled with the learning experience her son had. “The first time I saw him in a white coat and goggles, I was just delighted,” she said.

At the end of the program, the students are required to present their findings to a room full of ACPHS faculty, staff, and often the students’ families. “When the presentations are over, I will often have faculty tell me how impressed they were with the students and the quality of the work they had done,” Dr. Clarke says. “The students are always proud of their work, and their parents are proud too.”

Generation Rx

Students Raise Awareness of Prescription Drug Abuse Epidemic A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a number can sometimes say much more.

Figures released in fall 2011 from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 37,485 Americans died of prescription narcotic overdoses in 2009 (the latest year the data is available).

It’s a staggering number, but the more chilling takeaway is that 2009 marked the first time since 1979 – the year the CDC began tracking this information – that U.S. drug related deaths eclipsed those from motor vehicle accidents.

This “milestone” resulted in prominent stories in the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets, raising awareness among the general public of what can only be described as a health epidemic. In fact, more Americans now abuse prescription medications than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants combined.

While many were unaware of the seriousness of this issue, the report was not a surprise for most pharmacists and health care professionals. During the fall 2010 Midyear Regional Meetings of the American Pharmacist Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP), the Academy moved to take a leadership role in this area by introducing a new community outreach program called “Generation Rx.” This educational program – developed by The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy and 14

funded by Cardinal Health – is designed to increase public awareness of prescription medication abuse and encourage health care providers and others to actively work to prevent abuse.

Students from both the Albany and Vermont Campuses were in attendance for the launch of Generation Rx and were immediately inspired to roll out the program in their communities. Using materials provided by APhA-ASP and supplementing that information with their own brochures and Facebook pages, the students began reaching out to local schools and youth organizations.

“It took a while to get it going in schools,” says Karen Peck, a Vermont Campus student describing one of the challenges associated with launching the program. “Since it’s a sensitive subject, the schools want to know exactly what we will be discussing before they approve it.”

After more than a year of knocking on doors, they finally gained approval to present to students in two Burlington area high schools this year. The presentations included interactive discussions and Family Feud style games designed to keep the students engaged on a subject that, if not presented well, could easily cause high school eyes to roll.

Based on the feedback from students and teachers, the presentation was well received.

One student wrote in her evaluation: “I thought that the information was very use-

Students on both the Albany and Vermont Campuses conduct educational programs on the dangers of prescription drug abuse.

Figures released from the CDC show 37,485 Americans died of prescription narcotic overdoses in 2009 – more than those who died from motor vehicle accidents.

Generation Rx presentations include activities that test kids’ abilities to distinguish drugs from candies.

ful and interesting, and it will help me with some of my friends who I know are misusing prescription drugs.” Teachers from Colchester High School were so impressed with the presentation that they have decided to make the Generation Rx program a permanent part of their health class curriculum.

ACPHS-Vermont student Andrea Newgren believes the program has generated a positive response because of the approach taken by the student presenters. “We are not up there trying to preach to students.

We just want to make them aware of the dangers and explain how they can help their friends,” she says.

As these activities have been taking place in Vermont, students on the Albany Campus have been working to help educate both young students and their peers at ACPHS. With some of the highest rates of drug abuse being among teens as young as 12-years-old, Albany Campus students

decided to tailor one of their presentations to a class of fourth grade students who attend the College’s ACPHS Academy program (see page 6).

The presentation included a challenge to students to separate gummy bear candies from gummy vitamins (something many of the kids had difficulty doing) and included distribution of Generation Rx bracelets.

“I was surprised by how much they knew about these drugs, even at this age,” says Danyelle Rolnick, one of the ACPHS presenters. “They seemed interested in the information that we shared with them and understanding of the potential dangers.”

As part of the Generation Rx program, the students invited Jake Nichols, a former pharmacist and recovering prescription drug addict, to give a presentation on campus (the presentation was simulcasted to the Vermont Campus via the College’s distance learning technology).

You could hear a pin drop during the course of Nichols’ one hour presentation as he described his 15-year descent into abuse and his ongoing recovery. Nichols believes that pharmacy schools do not currently devote enough time to teaching about addiction and is advocating that the subject be made a mandatory part of the curriculum instead of a one hour lecture or, at best, an elective.

Students on both campuses are already hard at work on their Generation Rx plans for next year. In addition to continuing their student outreach efforts, they are planning to expand their focus to include older audiences such as parents, teachers, school boards, and even practicing pharmacists.

Mission Possible Service Initiatives Extend Far Beyond Campus Community service has always been popular with ACPHS students, and through the years, most of those efforts have been locally directed. While local outreach programs remain strong, there are a growing number of ACPHS service-based initiatives that are now global in scope. These study abroad opportunities are enabling ACPHS students to make a difference in impoverished areas of the world, and at the same time, change their own lives in ways they never thought imaginable.

Over the past year, groups of students and faculty completed medical missions to Dominica, Guatemala, and Belize. These trips are the foundation for what the College plans to be an ever-expanding list of global experience opportunities for ACPHS students and faculty.

16

Dominica Four years ago, Jeanine Abrons, Pharm.D., and her husband were married on the tiny Caribbean Island of Dominica and stayed at the Jungle Bay Resort.

Following the trip, a Jungle Bay newsletter to former guests arrived in Dr. Abrons’ mailbox requesting medical supplies. “I contacted several friends, pharmacies, and others and was able to generate donations of common over-the-counter items including ibuprofen, gauze bandages, medication pill bottles, antibiotic ointment creams, and dosing spoons,” recalls Dr. Abrons, a former Assistant Professor at ACPHS. “Several months later, I received an email from the doctor of the rural medical clinic near Jungle Bay thanking me profusely for the dona-

“It is one thing to read about poverty and extreme conditions, but another to actually experience it.

It changed my understanding of everyday life.”

Students who traveled to Dominica spent part of their time with local schoolchildren teaching compounding and leading other activities.

tions, saying this was the first time that they had a consistent supply of these items.”

Dr. Abrons returned to the island several months later to meet with the owner of the resort and to discuss how student pharmacists might be able to help, and from there, the Dominica rotation was born. The program is now heading into its third year.

In October 2011, Kristen Felthousen (ACPHS Director of Career Services), Dr. Abrons, and her husband, an anesthesiologist and clinical professor at The University of Iowa, arrived in Dominica with ten ACPHS students, all of whom had been trained and prepared to provide basic health care to the people of the island.

This group – the second to participate in the Dominica rotation – conducted a first-of-itskind health fair where they spent the day counseling and educating patients about common medical conditions. The students also worked in a local health care clinic.

“The most common condition we saw was diabetes, but there were also a lot of questions about kidney disease,” Kristen explains. The clinic was staffed with just two nurses and a physician who rotated between two clinics, so the students’ presence was very much welcomed.

“People were so kind, warm and welcoming and excited to see us because they knew that we were there to help,” she adds.

“The patients in Dominica were more enthusiastic about their health care than I’ve seen here at home,” says sixth year Pharm.D. student, Hassan Sheikh. “They really wanted to know about what the medications did and how they affected their health or bodies.”

The other component of the mission was teaching. ACPHS students spent two full days in a school with local children from kindergarten through grade 12, where they led a series of compounding exercises and physical activities.

With only two pharmacists on the island, there are very few role models for students interested in the profession. “There is a strong, strong need for more pharmacists,” Kristen says. “Our students opened the children’s eyes to pharmacy as a career option.”

Aside from teaching the local children, the students also found themselves putting their education to use and thinking on the fly. “We had to work with the tools that were available to us,” Hassan says. “The local people rely more on anecdotal treatment and herbs. It was tricky trying to incorporate their approaches with a [Western] therapy that would be beneficial to the patient. And, while most of the people spoke English, we still had to resort to pictures and more creative ways of communicating. It was challenging, but I believe that we had a positive impact.”

The College expects to offer this rotation twice in the 2012-2013 academic year – once in January and then again in May.

Guatemala After training and preparing for several months, ACPHS students Richa Mehta, Kari McCabe, and Janice Harter, along with faculty member Carmen Mojica, Pharm.D., M.S., embarked on the College’s first rotation in Guatemala. They worked in a clinic in San Raymundo, one hour northwest of Guatemala City.

Kari’s first impression of the clinic was not what she expected. “Everything was gated and surrounded by walls so it was a bit intimidating on the outside, but I felt very safe inside. The dorms and cafeteria were more than sufficient and the clinic was well designed. It had a beautiful garden, and the pharmacy was located right in the middle of everything.”

The group immediately got to work organizing and cleaning the clinic and taking inventory of what medications they had available to them. Each day the group would eat an early breakfast then head in at 7 a.m. to start their work. On any given day, 200 to 300 patients would pass through the clinic.

Upon entering the clinic, a patient would receive a numbered folder containing their charts. Next, their blood pressures and birthdays were noted, along with their chief

17

complaints. Then patients were dispensed daily supplies of vitamins and albendazole (a medication to treat tapeworm) to be given to each member in the household.

“The experience from start to finish most certainly changed me.”

“Based on their chief complaints, the patients would be sent to women’s health, pediatrics, general medicine, or the operating room, “ Richa says. “My immediate thought when I saw the operating room was ‘how in the world is this room kept sterile?’ It turned out that the O.R. ran like clockwork, and they took sterilization very seriously.

The operating room and the operations that took place there were absolutely amazing.”

Some of those procedures included hernia repairs, cyst removals (one woman had a 14 pound tumor removed and went home the very next day), cesarean section, wound cleaning, and suturing.

“Spanish is the primary language in Guatemala, and there was no communication in English whatsoever,” says Richa. “Thankfully Dr. Mojica and another pharmacist were fluent in Spanish. We had translators too, but they were usually helping other health care providers. I took Spanish in high school so by the end of the mission, I was comfortable counseling the patients as well.”

Some of the other highlights from the trip included spending two days with a medicine man who showed them how he made natural healing remedies. The group also visited a foster home that housed children ages 6 to 12. The kids performed dances and taught them how to make fabrics and masa – a type of tortilla dough.

“The experience from start to finish most certainly changed me,” Dr. Mojica says. “It made me realize how lucky we are and how we take everything for granted – our food supply, running water, access to health care, jobs, and education.”

Dr. Mojica and Kari both agree that an international mission, where you are helping another human being and making a difference, can have a much bigger impact on one’s life than simply fulfilling a college rotation.

“This experience was so touching and rewarding that I would recommend it to anyone,” Kari adds. “It was truly the most memorable experience in my six years at ACPHS. I am determined to go on another mission as soon as possible, and the only question left is when it will fit into my schedule.”

“People were so kind, warm, welcoming, and excited to see us because they knew that we were there to help.”

Belize Last January, sixteen students and one alumnus participated in the College’s first medical mission to Belize. “There was no expectation of getting any sort of credit, just life experience and a desire to help others,” explains Kevin Hickey, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Humanities and Communication, who accompanied the students on the trip.

The mission originated from a desire by students Rebecca Nashett and Katelyn Rochester to organize a medical oriented trip to Belize on behalf of the College.

Through the assistance of ProWorld, an organization that helps coordinate such trips, the students were placed in villages and clinics throughout the country.

Each day the students would see 60 or more patients in “pop up” clinics or go door-todoor into local communities with translators to offer health screenings. A typical screening would include blood pressure, weight check, blood samples, vitals, and patient counseling. If there was a case too involved or complex for the team of pharmacy students and Belizean nurse, a van was waiting nearby to transport the patients to a local hospital.

“We would drive anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to set up clinics in different underserved rural areas,” Katelyn explains.

“Sometimes we set up in an empty community health center that consisted of just a concrete floor and four walls. At one clinic, an outdoor class graciously squeezed together on one half of a cement pad while we used the other half. Luckily, there was a tin roof that kept us fairly dry when it began to pour!”

Students also spent one day teaching at the Cristo Rey Elementary School, where they presented lessons to elementary school children on hypertension, hygiene, asthma, and the importance of brushing one’s teeth.

“Proworld said that ACPHS students were among the most organized groups they had seen,” Dr. Hickey shares. “We were integrated with college students from other missions and our students stood out as particularly well prepared.”

The biggest takeaway for Dr. Hickey was how the students were changed by their experiences and what they learned about themselves and the world around them.

“A trip like this to Belize is important because you’re learning so many things. It’s a rich

educational experience, not solely about medicine or pharmacy practice,” Dr. Hickey says. “Our students all stayed with local families so they were having breakfast and dinner with them, sleeping in their homes, and celebrating with these families. They become real, not just anonymous Central American people you hear or read about.

They are people who have lives, just like the students.”

Rebecca agreed to the benefits of this multifaceted approach to learning and felt transformed by what the experience taught her.

“I never expected to become so attached to a country I was only in for two weeks, but I found it difficult to leave the people I had met, lived with, and worked with,” she says.

“It is one thing to read about poverty and extreme conditions, but another to actually experience it. It changed my understanding of everyday life.”

Looking ahead, there is a group of 18 students who will visit the Peruvian Amazon this summer to help native peoples without access to health care and conduct research on local medicinal plants. Trips are already being planned for next year to places that include Vietnam and Senegal.

Clinical Thinking

Students Shaped by Experiences at Inner City Clinic Humbled and privileged.

These are words commonly used by ACPHS pharmacy students who volunteer at the Koinonia Primary Care clinic located in the heart of inner city Albany. The clinic was founded in 2002 by Dr. Bob Paeglow (known to all as Dr. Bob) to help care for the people of the West Hill and Arbor Hill neighborhoods of the city, where few of the residents can afford medical insurance. Koinonia provides patients with primary medical and mental health services – regardless of their ability to pay.

As an extension of his commitment to service, Dr. Bob created a program called Care from the Start to “help teach medical students the joys of caring for the poor and less fortunate.” ACPHS students Bridget Lenaghan, Annemarie “Annie” Nardolillo, and Kenzie Keenan learned of the program and inquired about volunteer opportunities for pharmacy students to which Dr. Bob happily obliged.

ACPHS student Annie Nardolillo discusses a patient case with Dr. Bob Paeglow (middle) and a medical student while volunteering at the Koinonia Primary Care clinic in Albany.

Care from the Start is entirely student based and the work of this program is done exclusively at Koinonia. On Wednesday evenings, after the clinic’s normal hours, students from Albany Medical College (AMC) and ACPHS arrive at Koinonia to treat “real world” patients.

There are four groups of AMC students and within each group there is one ACPHS student. Annie says, “It is a privilege to be a part of this program. Not only are we helping people in need, but we are building relationships with future physicians and learning how important an interdisciplinary approach is to effective patient care.”

“It’s a win-win situation,” says Dr. Bob of the medical student-pharmacy student dynamic. “The more the two professions work with each other, the more they understand the value that each brings to the team. In the

end, the patient benefits from the expertise of both professionals.”

Typically, the medical students perform triage and initial clinical assessments, and the pharmacy students review medication lists and conduct reconciliations. The teams then report their findings back to a physician or resident on duty. Depending upon the situation, the pharmacy students may also be involved with taking vitals and doing triage.

“We’ve been able to care for many disease states including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, asthma, cold/flu-like symptoms, and pain,” says Kenzie. “Each week I worked at the clinic, I became more confident in my therapeutic assessments as I became better at counseling patients.”

In describing how this work reaches beyond the scope of what she might see in a more traditional practice experience, Annie says, “We are doing examinations, practicing skills such as patient assessment, and learning how to communicate with a wide range of patients. This experience is helping us to prioritize conditions in a very limited timeframe.”

Since the clinic has so many patients on these “after hours” evenings, time is truly at a premium. “Fifteen minutes per case per team may be all the time you have,” says Bridget, “so you need to know what’s important to treat. This interdisciplinary approach

is teaching us how flexibility in working with our team and our patients is essential in providing treatment.”

“It is a privilege to be part of this program. Not only are we helping people in need, but we are building relationships with future physicians.”

An example of this flexibility was demonstrated recently when a female patient who had been taking medications for headaches returned to the clinic. Lab values showed that she was reaching liver failure, had symptoms of stroke, and numbness. These were reported to Dr. Bob who prompted the student volunteers to consult with each other. The students came to the conclusion that the patient was pre-diabetic (which Dr. Bob already knew but wanted the students to discover using their knowledge of the case). Annie says, “The plan of treatment was based on the recommendations of the whole team, and it was rewarding to see that our teamwork was effective for the patient.”

The interactions with teammates, residents, Dr. Bob, and of course, the patients, are exposing the ACPHS students to the heart of pharmacy practice – patient care. “Working in this clinic and collaborating with future physicians is something I would recommend to every pharmacy student,” says Bridget. “I joined Care from the Start to work with underprivileged patients. It’s been an eye-opening experience. I’m so glad to have had this opportunity.”

Annie says, “Dr. Bob tells us to treat patients with the respect and compassion they deserve. I wanted to break the habit of rote, rehearsed questions when working with patients. I wanted to be more comfortable with how I sounded. This experience has been amazing.”

Although he has few material possessions, Dr. Bob considers himself incredibly rich.

This richness, he says, has come from investing in the lives of others, not only of the poor, but also in those who will carry on his legacy of caring for and serving those less fortunate. With students at ACPHS and AMC lining up to volunteer in the Care from the Start program, it appears that his legacy will be secure.

Alumni Spotlight

Prescription for Hope Alumni Couple Transformed by Medical Mission to Hispaniola Growing up on a dairy farm in upstate New York did not afford Sarah Price with many opportunities to travel. That all changed when she met her future husband.

Approximately three hours north of Sarah in Champlain, New York, Colin Price was born to two teachers and traveled frequently with his parents to the West Coast and Europe as a child, then Central and South America with his father throughout college.

Colin and Sarah both enrolled at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in 1997. They met as freshmen and began dating as second year students.

“I had never left New York until Colin came into my life,” Sarah explains. “My first trip overseas to Europe was an eye opener for someone who grew up in a small town with only one stoplight. After that trip, I was hooked.”

The two graduated in 2002 and, after taking their boards, they spent a few months backpacking through Europe.

22

“For the next seven years we worked in Utah for the winter months and traveled in the summer,” Sarah says. They trekked through Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. After getting married in 2006, they took a three month honeymoon around the world.

Last June, Colin and Sarah set off on a different kind of trip. They volunteered for a one week medical mission with an organization called International Aid Serving Kids (iASK) to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which is made up of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. iASK has been in existence for ten years, operating to improve the living conditions of orphaned, abandoned, and poverty-stricken children around the world, with a primary focus on Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

“Sarah and I both work at Smith’s pharmacy,” Colin began, which is a division of The Kroger Co. supermarket chain, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. “A colleague of ours had gone on this mission in the past

Colin (left) and Sarah Price, members of the ACPHS Class of 2002, were part of a team of health care professionals who went on a one-week mission to the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

and put us in contact with the leader and president of the organization.”

The Prices’s were part of a team of medical professionals that included a dentist, lab team, two nurses, and a physician from California. They stayed at a hotel in Higuay in central Dominican Republic, about an hour ride by car to their worksite.

On the first day, Colin and Sarah collected and organized all the drugs so they knew what they had available to them. “Each medical mission brings and leaves behind medications and supplies,” Colin says. “We also brought and shipped stuff down so it was important to lay it all out and be prepared in order to do our jobs and help people as effectively as possible.”

After driving miles and miles through sugar plantations, they came across batays, or corporately owned villages that were built in the middle of the sugar plantations. “We set up clinics in small vacant concrete chapels there,” he says. “Our goal was to de-worm everyone with oral medication. It was a standard protocol. Every child who came through to be seen for something, and who was old enough, was given a tablet in their mouth.”

It was pretty chaotic at times. “There were people everywhere outside the chapel, looking in and congregating. We had to focus on the children and the elderly who were really in pain and could hardly walk,” says Colin.

“These people needed medical care, sanitation, and running water, yet they radiated happiness just because we gave them attention and provided them with the most basic care.”

A patient would get directed to either the dentist or the doctor upon arrival. “The dentist’s job was pretty straightforward,” Colin says. “The physician, working through translators, found it a lot harder because he didn’t completely know what drugs we had. Many times he would just send us symptoms, and we would be responsible for treating them.”

lenol and ibuprofen for pain were primarily what made up the couple hundred prescriptions that passed through the pharmacy each day. “Otherwise, we just prescribed a lot of hope and attention,” Colin explains.

“People can be so happy when they have so little. These people needed medical care, sanitation, and running water, yet they radiated happiness just because we gave them attention and provided them with the most basic care. They were so appreciative.”

Colin and Sarah insist that they were the ones who were changed and humbled by the experience. “This trip shaped us into who we are today, individually and as a couple,” says Sarah. “It was extremely rewarding for me to be a part of a mission to help people in need of medical care, using my education and working together with my husband. Many of these people live in pain and discomfort because they do not have access to medical care, nor are they educated on proper hygiene practices. It may seem like basic care to us, but to them it makes their quality of life so much better.”
