Med school announces new partnership with Area Health Education Centers

O

fficials from regional Area Health Education Centers, Duke Area Health Education Center and Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine gathered in May to sign off on a new partnership that will bring more doctors to underserved areas.

The program creates long-term field work opportunities for Campbell medical students at the Southern Regional Area Health Education Center in Fayetteville, just under an hour’s drive from the medical school. North Carolina operates a network of these centers to train medical professionals and introduce them to the area. Their hope is to retain doctors in these areas in order to provide easier access to care in underserved parts of the state.

to bring new healthcare opportunities to the citizens of North Carolina.”

Campbell medical students have been doing month-long rotations at Southern Regional AHEC for the past four years.

But this formal agreement will bring rotation opportunities to more students, improving the geographic distribution, retention and quality of health care providers.

“We have had a long-standing relationship with Campbell’s pharmacy school and other programs,” said Dr. Sushma Kapoor, president of the Southern Regional AHEC. “Building on this framework, we have shared goals to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes in our community.”

Campbell’s proximity to the center will allow for even more students to find “When we announced that we were opportunities through AHEC, serving opening a medical school at Campbell their medical residences there and University, one of the first calls we later joining the faculty or practicing received was from Mike Nagowski, medicine in the area.

Campbell University Affiliate Residency Programs Graduate 72

Campbell University Graduate Medical Education programs at four affiliate hospitals graduated 72 physicians from six areas of primary care.

G

raduate Medical Education, residency programs and fellowships, are key components of Campbell Medicine fulfilling the mission of educating and training physicians who will serve the medically underserved areas of North Carolina and the Southeastern United States.

This summer, many of the Campbell affiliate residency programs graduated their first full cohort of physicians.

“We graduated our largest class of resident physicians,” said Dr. Robin King-Thiele, associate dean for post-graduate affairs at the medical school. “They have accepted positions in hospitals and practices in North Carolina and across the country.

It is exciting to have so many Campbell residency graduates providing healthcare – dermatology to emergency medicine.”

According to AAMC, the United States will lack 23,000 physicians by 2032. New medical schools and increased class sizes are attempting to solve the shortage; however, Campbell University knows residency programs are key to addressing the shortage.

“Physicians must have residency programs to complete their training," explained Dr. King-Thiele. “Campbell was committed from day one to providing not just a medical school, but residency programs to meet this need – and to specifically create a pipeline of physicians to rural and underserved communities in North Carolina.”

“The residents have taken care of the community, including employees and each other,” said Dr. Patty Matto, MEDICINE.CAMPBELL.EDU

vice-president for medical education at Southeastern Health in Lumberton, NC. “They participated in quality-focused patient care projects and processes for the betterment of the organization and community at-large and embraced our rural health mission. We are very proud and excited to call them colleagues.”

Lumberton is one of North Carolina’s most rural and medically underserved communities. Including the Class of 2019, Lumberton has retained new physicians from their Campbell residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine and emergency medicine.

“We look forward to continuing to see the impact the residency programs have in Lumberton, North Carolina, and across the United States,” concluded Dr. Matto.

Dr. Christopher Huckle, a graduate of William Carey University School of Osteopathic Medicine, will join North East Georgia Physicians Group where he will be part the Atlanta Falcons physician team as well as treating athletes from and Brenau University and local high schools.

"I enjoyed the access to multiple Division I athletic teams that the Campbell Sports Medicine Fellowship provides; having first access and laying the ground work for future fellows to treat the women’s soccer & lacrosse teams was very rewarding."

Dr. Timothy Taylor, a graduate of Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine, will join the Non-Surgical Orthopedic Center in Oceanside, CA. "Between athletic team coverage and fight coverage with Dr. Neidecker, the Campbell fellowship provided lots of unopposed time with patient athletes.

Also, Campbell utilizes lots of ultrasound in our training experience, so I feel very confident going into practice."

A Passion for Primary Care

The Class of 2019 graduates are officially resident physicians, and two-thirds of them are serving in primary care.

M

edical students achieve many milestones throughout their four years of medical school.

Day by day, week-by-week, monthby-month and year-by-year, there are moments and events along the way that shape the trajectory of their academic career and future as a physician.

Graduation and Match Day are two of the most highly anticipated events of the medical school journey. They signify the closing of one chapter and the exciting start of another.

For many students, the third and fourth-year rotations solidify the area of medicine in which they’re most passionate and want to serve. And for many recent graduates of Campbell University’s Jerry M. Wallace School of 4 MAY - JUNE 2019

Osteopathic Medicine, that passion is primary care.

“I chose primary care because I want to be able to treat all generations of people, and [serve as] the liaison for a person’s overall health and well-being,” said Dr. Cora Owen, family medicine resident at Bon Secours Health System in Midlothian, VA, and graduate of the Class of 2019.

“Primary care allows me to make lifelong connections with people that I wouldn’t get as often in another specialty.”

Sixty-five percent of the Class of 2019 graduates matched into a primary care residency, including: internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, or obstetrics & gynecology, and 57% of the Class of 2019 will be in residency programs throughout the Southeast United States.

Although hundreds of newly graduated physicians are entering residencies each year, North Carolina still faces a physician shortage. North Carolina is projected to need an additional 1,885 primary care physicians by 2030.

The physician shortage largely affects rural and underserved areas, and often has a domino effect on whole communities.

“The biggest issue to serving rural and underserved [communities] is access— making sure patients have access to quality health care and services to provide them with the best care possible,” said Dr. David Tolentino, associate dean for clinical affairs at the medical school. “As a primary care physician, that individual is the initial gatekeeper

to a patient’s access to healthcare and plays an important role in providing and directing the care a patient needs to receive.”

Campbell students have the unique opportunity to train in rural communities and work with underserved populations throughout their time in medical school. Not only are they there learning as medical students, they are also serving as care providers for the community.

“Campbell’s focus on primary care was extremely evident from day one, my interview date,” said Dr. Marlie Patel, graduate of the Class of 2019.

“My interviewers and I discussed the importance of primary care and I was able to discuss how I could make an impact, even [as] medical student.

Our rotation sites are diverse and [provide] a wide variety of primary care offices, making us well rounded young physicians.”

Commencement speaker DR. KAREN NICHOLS encouraged the Class of 2019 to truly care for their patients.

Dr. Patel is a first-year pediatrics resident at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where her fiancé, Dr. Nicholas Campbell, also a 2019 Campbell Med graduate, is an internal medicine resident.

From a very young age, Patel has wanted to be a pediatrician. She says her pediatrician, whom she saw from age 2 to 22, played a meaningful role in her development and within her family. As a physician, she’s excited to be able to provide that same care for the kids she will meet and serve in the future.

“My desire to pursue peds only strengthened at Campbell,” said Patel.

“Dr. Mann and Dr. Halm are so kind and helpful, and I had all the resources available to me to be successful. I’m [thankful that] I had really strong mentors at Campbell.”

DR. JOSHUA BURKA hooded by his fiance, DR. SABRINA TAVELLA (’18)

As they move throughout our state and country, the graduates of the Class of 2019 have closed one chapter and are beginning another.

“We are proud, and yet humbled, with where our Campbell Med graduates going,” said Dr. Tolentino. “We know there is still a lot of work to be done and a big need to fill. We will continue to promote primary care medicine and its importance in serving Campbell’s mission to the rural and underserved.”

The Duke Endowment awards $1 million grant to Campbell affiliate hospital Conway Medical Center

Grant will support the hospital’s planned Center for Medical Excellence in Disaster Recovery.

Florence, CMC was one of two hospitals open in Horry County. We housed 200300 staff and 30 attending physicians for four days — and it’s going to happen again.

“It just makes sense to have crisis management and recovery embedded in the residency curriculum. So, we reached out to The Duke Endowment to see if they could help make our vision a reality.”

Richardson said the medical center officials were excited to have this training as part of their residency curriculum.

C

onway Medical Center announced this week receipt of a $1 million grant from The Duke Endowment to support beginning the Center for Medical Excellence in Disaster Recovery as part of the hospital’s medical education program with Campbell University’s Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine.

“We are very excited to have The Duke Endowment support our affiliate hospital in Conway, SC,” said Dr. John M. Kauffman Jr., dean of the medical school. “Conway Medical Center will welcome its first cohort of 11 third-year medical students in July, and this grant will enable us to move forward with beginning a residency program and the Center for Medical Excellence in Disaster Recovery.”

CMC and Campbell agreed to begin training third- and fourth-year medical students at the South Carolina hospital last year. During the discussions about curriculum and resources, Dr. Robin King-Thiele, associate dean for postgraduate affairs at Campbell, shared with Conway leadership the osteopathic medical school’s development of a crisis management rotation for resident physicians.

“This grant is unique — it will help us further our mission in the Conway community and in any community 6 MAY - JUNE 2019

where our residents later practice medicine,” said King-Thiele. “It will provide resources necessary to help the hospital be prepared for natural disasters as part of the teaching curriculum for medical residents in the hospital and the community.”

The crisis management rotation allows resident physicians to learn crisis management skills to advance the care, safety and treatment of current and future patients. This rotation was initially designed to be used in times of mass casualty and natural disaster as well as states of emergency to provide residents a valuable role and continue their training.

However, CMC’s vision has two distinct goals: 1) to train all residents in disaster preparedness, so they are experienced and ready to be experts in a crisis no matter where they are located, and 2) if a crisis occurs, use CMC’s residents as a resource to be boots on the ground at hospitals, clinics and shelters while staying on track with their academic cycle.

“Our goal is to welcome our first family medicine residents in 2020,” said Dr. Paul M. Richardson Jr., chief medical officer at Conway Medical Center. “We were looking for a differentiator, and the Campbell Crisis Management curriculum gave that to us. During Hurricane

“When a real disaster occurs and residents are required to assist in managing patient care scenarios that are unusual and complicated due to limited resources, they will be ready,” he said. “It is a win-win situation.”

In addition to implementing the curriculum, Conway Medical Center has plans to invest $5 million to re-purpose underutilized space for additional office and on-call capacity needed for residents and to construct a residency clinic adjacent to the hospital. The new clinic will be “disaster ready” — equipped with power and communications equipment to serve as an emergency command center when needed.

“We have a great relationship with Campbell University,” said Richardson.

“I can’t say enough about how supportive the administration has been through residency development and preparing to welcome our first medical students this summer.”

About The Duke Endowment Based in Charlotte and established in 1924 by industrialist and philanthropist James B. Duke, The Duke Endowment is a private foundation that strengthens communities in North Carolina and South Carolina by nurturing children, promoting health, educating minds and enriching spirits. Since its founding, it has distributed more than $3.7 billion in grants. The Endowment shares a name with Duke University and Duke Energy, but all are separate organizations.

Chief Residents: Inaugural Class Continues to Lead

Twenty-Two members of the Class of 2017 named Chief Resident in residency programs across the country.

DR. GUNJAN JOSHI

graduated from Cornell University before joining the inaugural class at Campbell and returned to his home state of New York for residency.

D

r. Jerry M. Wallace, chancellor and namesake of the medical school, has often told the inaugural class, “You are pioneers,” and not surprisingly, this continues to be true. In residency programs from New York to Idaho, twenty-two Campbell Medicine Alumni were named Chief Resident this spring and will serve as leaders in their respective residency programs in the coming year.

“Being selected as Chief Resident is a huge honor,” explained Dr. John M. Kauffman, Jr., dean of the medical school. “You have been distinguished among your peers and selected to lead them and serve in an administrative role.”

The role and responsibilities can vary from program to program.

“Some residency programs have multiple chiefs,” explained Dr. Gunjan Joshi, Internal Medicine Chief Resident for Patient Safety and Quality Improvement (PSQI) at Southampton Hospital in Stony Brook, New York. “As PSQI Chief Resident, I will be provided the time and resources to learn quality improvement tools (Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, process map, fishbone diagrams, etc.), literature on patient safety, and apply this knowledge to make meaningful change to help prevent patient harm and death.”

“I will be participating in root cause analyses, peer review, quality improvement projects, and various

patient safety committees,” Dr. Joshi continued. “Medical error and the impact it has on patients, providers, and hospital systems is gaining more recognition. I believe that quality and systems improvement is the future of medicine. Reducing medical error by improving hospital systems is now a priority for administrators, so the PSQI Chief Resident position was created to address this critical aspect of patient care. Through this position, I will be able to learn the intricacies of patient safety/ quality improvement.”

DR. MARY KEY from

Sanford, North Carolina, graduated from Wake Forest University before joining the inaugural class at Campbell and is excited to have been able to remain in North Carolina for residency.

Similarly, Dr. Mary Key has recently begun serving as Family Medicine co-chief resident at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. “My co-chief and I have many responsibilities mostly of which are administrative,” explained Dr. Key. “We were directly involved with the recruitment and educational committees, and recently, we have been helping our incoming interns get acclimated.”

“We serve as liaisons between residents and faculty,” continued Dr. Key. “It’s really an honor to have been trusted by my peers and endorsed by my attending physicians for this position. I look forward to growing both professionally and personally through this experience.”

People of Campbell Medicine

Class of 2017 Medicine Alumni Board Representatives

DR. STEPHANIE HORAN Family Medicine, New Hanover Regional Medical Center, Wilmington, NC

In addition to serving on the Campbell Medicine Alumni Board, she also represents Campbell Medicine alumni on the University Alumni Board of Directors. At the Class of 2019 Awards Dinner she shared these words of wisdom:

DR. SETH STALLARD PATRICK STEVENS

BROOKE WILLIAMS

Emergency Medicine, Albert Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA

Chief Resident of Family Medicine, Lakeland Regional Medical Center, St. Joseph, MI

WHY DID YOU VOLUNTEER TO SERVE ON THE ALUMNI BOARD? I thought it would be great to stay in touch with my classmates, as well as future graduates of CUSOM, be available for advice, and stay connected with Campbell University in general.

Dr. Williams is a FIGS brand ambassador and recently hosted a "take over" of the AOA instagram

WHY DID YOU VOLUNTEER TO SERVE ON THE ALUMNI BOARD? CUSOM gave me a great education and foundation as a physician. I wanted a chance to give back and help CUSOM continue to support its amazing alumni going forward.

I chose to serve on the alumni board, because I wanted to be part of an association whose purpose not only included allegiance and loyalty to the university, but also celebrated the achievements of fellow alumni. I also wanted to aid in ensuring programs and resources are available for future and current alumni that will enrich the Campbell University alumni experience.

“You didn’t get here alone,” said Horan. “And it would not be a Campbell University speech if someone didn’t say ‘if you see a turtle on a fence post, you know he didn’t get there on his own.’ In that same vein, the alumni association is here to support you in your next phase of life and throughout residency.”

WHAT IS THE MOST EXCITING/REWARDING EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE HAD DURING RESIDENCY? Learning from the many patients we see in our daily residency life. I try to remember to always stop, listen and reflect on what people have to say and validate their concerns.

“From my experience, the experience of other members of my class, and the Class of 2018 — you are well prepared,” concluded Horan. “Know that as you are going into intern year, Campbell has prepared you well.”

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR THE CLASS OF 2019 AND/OR INCOMING STUDENTS? Be open to taking on new roles and stepping out of your comfort zone. Be humble, but confident at the same time.

Know when to ask for help.

Realize that when you see patients in the hospital, they could be having the worst day of their lives. Take advantage of fun opportunities, such as national conferences. Travel during vacations and sleep every moment you can.

8 MAY - JUNE 2018

WHAT IS THE MOST EXCITING/REWARDING EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE HAD DURING RESIDENCY? The most rewarding experience I've had throughout residency has been building relationships with families, which include multiple generations of patients.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR THE CLASS OF 2019 AND/OR INCOMING STUDENTS? This career is a never-ending journey of learning and relearning. The process can be daunting. Take some time for yourself so you don’t become overwhelmed.

Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine has continued to serve me as an alumna, ensuring that I have the resources necessary in order for me to be not only a successful resident, but also a successful practicing physician. CUSOM has maintained a "sense of belonging" that no matter how much time has passed by or how far you may be, you will always be part of the Campbell Family.

Healthy Tips

Don’t Feel the BURN!

S

kin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and sunscreen has long been a front line weapon in its prevention. A pilot study, recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, has raised concerns over the amounts of sunscreen ingredients absorbed into the bloodstream with maximum normal use. Study participants applied sunscreen over 75% of their bodies 4 times per day, for 4 days. The study then measured the sunscreen ingredients in the blood stream and found they exceeded the FDA threshold requiring further safety testing.

Although this study has raised some important questions, it has not shown sunscreen to be unsafe. These sunscreen ingredients have been used for years without any reported internal side effects and unprotected sun exposure is known to be harmful.

The study authors, along with the American Academy of Dermatology have stated that individuals should not refrain from wearing sunscreen as a result of this study.

Exposure to the sun’s UV rays is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Until more research is done, the recommendations are to continue using a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to exposed skin when outdoors.

It takes time for sun screen to work so be sure to apply sun screen at least 20 minutes before going out into the sun.

Here are some additional ways to protect yourself while you enjoy outside activities:

1. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING such as lightweight, long-sleeved shirt, pants and

wide-brimmed hat. There are many companies that produce clothing with built-in SPF protection.

2. STAY IN THE SHADE during the hottest part of the day—late morning through

early afternoon.

Stay safe and enjoy your summer!
