Pharmacy and PA students enter health professions through White Coat Ceremony Inside this Issue Message from the Dean Student News Faculty News Alumni/Student Profile Message from the Alumni Association President Class Notes Upcoming Events

The White Coat Ceremony – An honored tradition recognizing Campbell University’s newest pharmacy and PA students’ future in health care, and a celebration of their entrance to the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. On August 24, the PharmD class of 2016 and MPAP class of 2014 were presented with white coats during the special ceremony.

DEAN’S MESSAGE

I

n August we started our twenty-seventh academic year at the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. We have grown over this past quarter century, but we still consider ourselves a family, and it was my pleasure to welcome the new students to our Campbell family.

We held our traditional back to school festivities all on the same day this year, on August 24. Our first ceremony was Convocation in the morning, the Back to School BBQ for lunch, and we finished the day by presenting our first-year pharmacy and PA students with their white coats.

It was an exciting day for all of us.

Convocation and the BBQ have become a particularly special time for us. As the College has grown, it has become the only time during the year that we have all the students together at one time for a meeting and discussions. So I encouraged our students to enjoy the fellowship with their classmates, and to interact with students from all our other programs during this time.

This fall, we celebrated the arrival of 109 new Doctor of Pharmacy students, bringing our total enrollment in the program to 440. We welcomed 40 new PA students, bringing our total enrollment to 74. We also celebrated the enrollment of 71 Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences students and 102 students in the Master of Science in Clinical Research program.

We welcomed the addition of the College’s charter class of 18 Master of Science in Public Health students. I’d like to thank Dr. Tina Tseng for heading up this program. We’re excited about the opportunities and all the activities associated with the public health program.

And lastly, we welcomed the addition of Dr. Gregory Dedrick. Dr. Dedrick comes to Campbell from Texas, where he served as a faculty member for the physical therapy program at Texas Tech University. He will be involved with the implementation of the College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program that will matriculate it’s charter class of 32 students in January of 2014.

I’d also like to recognize Dr. Larry Swanson, who will retire from the College in September.

Dr. Swanson has played an important role in the growth and success of our pharmacy program serving the past 21 years as chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice. I want to thank him for his years of service and dedication to Campbell.

The search committee recently named Dr. Byron May as the new department chair. Dr. May has served as a pharmacy practice faculty member since 1989. I am grateful that he has accepted the position. Dr. May is an accomplished scholar, gifted teacher and respected leader within our College, and I believe he will do an exceptional job in his new role.

As you can see, we have a lot of great things happening this fall. I hope you will consider visiting us sometime soon to see all of the exciting changes and hear more about the College’s continued growth and achievements.

Sincerely,

Ronald W. Maddox, PharmD Vice President for Health Programs Dean, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences

Students challenged to change health care through service

H

arnett Health System CEO and President Kenneth Bryan told more than 600 students at Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences that they are in the middle of growth, at a university that is on the move.

Speaking at the College’s opening Convocation Ceremony on Aug. 24, he shared that Harnett County is the fastest growing micropolitan area in the United States.

“Hopefully by the time you graduate, Campbell University and Harnett Health will be far down the road in creating over 2,000 new jobs, one of which you may seek to fill,” said Bryan, who also serves as senior vice president of WakeMed Health and Hospitals.

Bryan stated this growth is marked by the expansion of Harnett Health’s new hospital in Lillington, Campbell’s growth of health care education programs, the Wake County population moving south on the northern tier of Harnett county, and nearby Ft. Bragg becoming the largest Army base in the world.

He commented on the new path of health care, moving from a structure that waits until patients are sick to a system that works diligently to keep individuals healthy, and the period of tremendous change students will face over the next five to ten years.

But despite the new jobs in Harnett County and changes in the profession, he focused on the importance of the health care industry providing “great care, delivered in a compassionate and human caring way.”

“What you need to challenge yourself with is whether you have effectively thought through your ability to engage each and every day with people, whether in health care or not, in a way that values them and cares for them.”

Bryan understands that health care needs to be more about people than just a job. He urged students to look at their chosen profession and work differently by engaging in their patients’ lives.

“Seek to serve rather than to be served,” he said. “Make a choice to care and to learn to the best of your ability so that you can serve your best.”

Creating their own linked-in network, the incoming PA class completes a team building activity during orientation to discover each other’s strengths.

Patrick Hardesty, Hillary Simpson, and Christine Psaltis attend the first master’s in clinical research orientation in Buies Creek since the program transitioned to main campus from RTP.

Second PA class arrives at Campbell

What’s the advantage of being in the second physician assistant class at Campbell University? They have the charter class to help them figure out how to successfully navigate the program. Five second-year students sat down with the incoming class during orientation on August 13 for a crash course on the do’s and don’ts of PA school. They discussed time management skills, study tips, group dynamics and what to do in Buies Creek outside of the classroom.

Out of the classroom and into the clinic Charter PA class starts rotations this month

The College’s inaugural physician assistant class successfully completed the first 13-month didactic phase of their training in August and, after a short three-week break, started their 15 months of clinical rotations on September 3.

Over the past year, PA students were trained by simultaneously applying classroom knowledge with clinical experience in oncampus laboratories and off-campus clinical settings. Working with lab partners, standardized patients and anatomical models, they learned how to suture, draw blood, start IVs, place NG tubes, cast and splint, as well as several other essential skills for their rotations.

Shall we dance?

What’s the best way to get acquainted with your classmates? Salsa dancing of course.

The College’s Alumni Association hosted a fiesta for incoming pharmacy students after their first day of orientation on August 1. The Association’s board members offered tips for success in pharmacy school, students enjoyed tacos and enchiladas, and for entertainment, a dance instructor taught the class how to salsa dance.

Scavenger hunt sends public health students into the community

Public health students pictured above with Debbie Byrd, adolescent parenting program coordinator, at the Teens as Parents facility in Lillington, N.C. This location was one of the stops on their scavenger hunt, exploring the difference public health makes in Harnett County.

M

any people rarely consider the role that public health plays in their lives, while at the same time, it is something they interact with daily.

In Harnett County it can be harder to find public health at work, because, like other rural communities, it faces many challenges in protecting the health of its residents.

Students in Campbell University’s newest program were recently sent on a scavenger hunt to explore the difference that public health makes in Harnett County. A total of 12 items were on the list. They were asked to either bring the item back to class or take a photo of it.

“We couldn’t find the nutritional information in a restaurant in Harnett County that wasn’t fast food,” said Rebekah West, a native of Fuquay-Varina and member of the Master of Science in Public Health’s charter class.

Assistant Professor of Public Health David Tillman, who facilitated the scavenger hunt, explained the requirements for offering nutritional content at a chain

restaurant versus a local restaurant, “If there are a certain number of restaurants in the chain, the company is obligated to provide the information.”

Something else difficult for students to find was air quality flags.

“How many were already aware of the flags?” Tillman asked. Three out of 18 students raised their hands.

“They weren’t on the flag pole. Someone said the guy had resigned, so the person filling in didn’t know what the flags meant,” said McKenzie Hobbs, who is originally from Smithfield.

They found the flags in a drawer at the health department, Hobbs added.

Tillman used this experience to discuss the importance of public health. “Remember when we had a conversation about why it is important to get out into the community?

Inside these four walls, problems seem easy to solve, but this is an example of what I was talking about.”

Cody Oxendine shared next, “There is a program called S.H.O.P. that stands for stop HIV/AIDS in our community program. It

targets African Americans in barber shops and beauty salons. They offer preventative brochures in both English and Spanish, HIV facts and STD testing.”

Tillman was excited his students found information about this program.

“I think it is such a neat idea to target this population by meeting folks where they are,” he said. “That’s the kind of innovative approaches we hope you will take out to the community as you develop your skills in our program.”

Oxendine grew up near Pembroke.

He enrolled in Campbell’s public health program because he wants to return to his community and help the Lumbee Indian population.

Only one out of the three groups found everything for the scavenger hunt, but the main goal was accomplished and the big picture was set. All of the students were introduced to the community and experienced first-hand how public health can make a difference in people’s lives.

FACULTY

Pharmacy Practice Chair Larry Swanson to retire in September Dr. Swanson is a huge Campbell basketball fan. His favorite basketball memory is when Campbell went to the big dance against Duke University in 1992. With his love for Fighting Camel athletics, Swanson’s family started giving him camels. He is pictured in his office with his collection that has grown over the years. When he retires this month, Swanson plans to find a place for his camels at home.

A

fter serving 21 years as chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice at Campbell University, Larry Swanson, PharmD, has announced his retirement. This September he will end a successful fortyyear career in higher education.

Dr. Swanson, who was named chair in 1991, has been an instrumental leader and mentor during his time at Campbell. He arrived only five years after the PharmD degree was established, giving him the opportunity to develop the clinical faculty and curriculum into the robust, successful training program that it is today.

He began his academic career in 1972 as an assistant professor at Wayne State University in Detroit. Swanson had earned his PharmD degree three years earlier from the University of Southern California. After graduation, he completed two years with the United States Public Health Service, followed by a one-year clinical residency at the Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical Center.

In the early 1970’s the clinical pharmacy movement was on the verge of expansion, and there was a need for clinical pharmacists to implement this type of curriculum into academic settings. With Swanson’s education and residency training, he was in the valuable position to help fill this need.

Searching for his first full-time job, a

friend at Wayne State encouraged Swanson to apply, and it turned out to be a great fit.

Only four years into his career at Wayne State, Swanson was asked to serve as assistant dean for admissions and student affairs. In 1978 Swanson’s dean and mentor took a job at Northeastern University in Boston, and invited Swanson to come with him. He accepted and led the clinical pharmacy program at Northeastern for 13 years.

In early 1991 Swanson was ready to make another job move, and the new pharmacy program in Buies Creek piqued his interest because it was a Christian university, and already offered an entry-level PharmD degree. Later that year, he was named chair, and Swanson and his wife, Susan, moved to North Carolina with their four sons.

Over the past two decades the department has flourished under Swanson’s leadership. “He is very good at making decisions that affect everyone but also has the best interest of everybody in mind when making those decisions,” said Assistant Professor Paige Brown, who is a 2006 graduate of the pharmacy program. “That is a huge quality of a leader, and if you look it up in the dictionary, you would find Dr. Swanson in the definition.”

Since his arrival, the department has grown from 14 faculty members to 37. The

department’s faculty boasts nationally recognized experts, and outstanding clinicians and teachers in their respective areas of practice, and five of those 14 original faculty members are still included on the roster.

Expanding residency offerings from two to six, refining the curriculum, increasing faculty scholarship output, mentoring and developing faculty for promotions, and expanding Campbell’s affiliation with toptier rotation sites are just a few areas of tangible growth over the past 20 years. He also led initiatives like the Top 300 Drugs Exam and the P4 presentation seminar, and facilitated the offering of the P3 missions elective and helped expand missions rotation opportunities.

But Swanson is not one to claim the spotlight for these achievements. “I don’t attribute any particular thing to me. My role as chairman is to make sure our faculty members have the resources to do their job effectively. If they have the environment and tools to practice, teach, and produce scholarship well, this will result in a great program for everyone,” he said.

Swanson has stayed consistent in his approach, and it rings true throughout the voice of the faculty. “He sets the big picture for us. We may discuss a lot of different approaches to get to that goal, but then he

FACULTY

lets us accomplish it the way we feel is best,” said Gil Steiner, PharmD, associate professor of pharmacy practice, who has worked in the department since 2000.

“He is a full package as to what you want as a chair, because he listens, he’s compassionate, and gregarious, but also serious when he needs to be. His other legacy is the love of Christ that he shows to all people, it is evident to everybody who knows him,” Brown said.

When reflecting upon his career, Swanson shared that one of the most rewarding experiences happened when a pharmacy student traveled abroad to complete a one-month missions rotation.

Shortly after the student arrived at the clinic, she became very homesick and contacted Swanson about returning to North Carolina. He knew she could have come home, but if that happened, she would have missed out on an incredible learning experience. After much prayer by Swanson and the staff at the clinic, the student was convinced to stay. When she returned, she thanked Swanson for encouraging her to complete the rotation because of how much she learned at the clinic, but more importantly, how much she learned about herself and her relationship with God. “That experience was a great blessing for me. We can teach our pharmacy students how to make a living but, if there is a spiritual dimension to their education, this will make a life,” Swanson said.

A great influence in the program, he knows both faculty and students need their own breadth of experience to prepare them for success.

“I think his role as chair gives him the opportunity to give other people opportunities,” Steiner said. “We will remember him for encouraging others to do the best they can, making sure faculty and students know we are here for a bigger reason than just to go out and make money, and that there are people to be served.”

May named chair of pharmacy practice D. Byron May, PharmD, has been named chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice at CPHS. Dr. May joined the College as a faculty member in 1989, and has been an integral part of the department through his teaching and research, and numerous presentations and published articles over the past 20 years.

Rising through the ranks as a tenured professor in 2009, May has also served as vice-chair of curriculum and faculty development since 2009. He has practiced pharmacy as a clinical specialist in adult internal medicine at Duke University Hospital since 1989, directed the Duke PGY1 residency for 12 years and co-directed the College’s PGY2 specialty residency in adult internal medicine, infectious disease and academics with Duke University Hospital since 1998.

May received his PharmD degree from the University of Florida at Gainesville and completed a pharmacy practice residency at Duke. He is a board certified pharmacotherapy specialist and recently completed the Academic Leadership Fellows Program through the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.

CPHS names founding director of physical therapy program Gregory Dedrick, PT, ScD, was recently named founding director of the College’s new Doctor of Physical Therapy program.

Dr. Dedrick brings more than 15 years of clinical knowledge and over a decade of teaching and research experience to the position. He holds a BS in kinesiology from the University of North Texas, a master of physical therapy (MPT) from the University of Texas Medical Branch and a doctor of science in physical therapy (ScD) from Texas Tech University. He is a board certified orthopedic clinical specialist and has completed his certification in orthopedic medicine and manual therapy of the spine and extremities through the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine-US (IAOM).

Most recently, Dedrick served as an associate professor of physical therapy at Texas Tech University. While at Texas Tech, he taught numerous physical therapy courses in both master’s and doctorate level programs, as well as post-professional education.

Dedrick assisted in the development of the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program by creating content related to screening for medical conditions and imaging. He was extensively involved in revamping the MPT and DPT curriculum to improve licensure passage rates, served as a co-leader of the DPT development committee’s musculoskeletal content team and assisted with the program’s accreditation process.

Campbell’s three-year DPT program will start in Jan. 2014 with 32 seats available in the first class. The program is currently undergoing the accreditation process through the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.

[PHARMACY ON THE FIELD] Pictured below, as

Campbell University’s football team gears up for their fifth season, Dr. Andy Bowman, faculty member and 1993 PharmD graduate, and Sam Eberwein, second-year pharmacy student, will be on-hand for the action. Read more about their invovlement with the football program.

Pharmacy professor and grad reporting live from the sidelines

I

f you listened to a Fighting Camels football game on the radio last year, or watched it live online, odds are you heard Andy Bowman assisting the call as the color commentator. This was a unique role for the pharmacy professor at Campbell University to fill, but it gave Dr. Bowman, a 1993 PharmD graduate, the chance to break into sports broadcasting.

This fall, Bowman will once again join Campbell’s radio team in a new role as a sideline reporter during home football games.

“I loved being in the booth last year, but I think I am going to really enjoy being on the sidelines as well,” Bowman said. “Chris Hemeyer, voice of the Camels, really wanted to enhance our broadcasts, and it is a good way for me to be involved since traveling to away games is a challenge as a full-time faculty member.”

Bowman’s interest in broadcasting dates back to his childhood when he would pretend to be on the radio. But a stronger interest in science led him to pursue his doctor of pharmacy degree at Campbell. After graduating in 1993, Bowman returned to his hometown in Roanoke, Va., to work for Kroger as a staff pharmacist.

A few years into his career, Bowman was invited to answer patients’ pharmacy-related questions on a local radio show. “The opportunity came out of the blue,” he said. “The program was well utilized by callers in the Roanoke area, and was soon known as, ‘Ask Andy.’” The show ran for about five years.

In 2000, Bowman returned to Campbell as a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and was also named the director of continuing education. Several years later, he was asked to participate on a call-in radio show in Fayetteville answering patient’s questions live on the air. It was another success, and lasted more than four years.

Fast-forward to fall 2011, when Chris Hemeyer was searching for a color commentator. With Bowman’s radio experience and love for the game, he was asked to assist the play-by-play announcer in the booth.

“Was I nervous before the first game? Absolutely,” Bowman said.

“But after the broadcast, I had people ask me, are you sure you’ve never done that before?”

fall 2012

Bowman says he and his brother, Dan, watched so much football over the years, it should be illegal. An avid sports fan, he played football from fourth grade through high school, and Bowman and his father, John, were football season ticket holders at Virginia Tech for nearly 20 years.

“It has been great serving my alma mater in a completely different way,” Bowman said.

Last year, Campbell’s football team had its first winning season, ending with a record of 6-5. As they start the fifth season, Bowman believes the team is capable of duplicating that performance.

The team is returning with senior Braden Smith, who Bowman says is an outstanding leader with strong passing skills and the ability to run as well. Offensively, the Camels return with a solid core of receivers, and defensively, the team should be improved with numerous starters from 2011. Other seniors to watch are Brandon Chandler, Steth Monroe, Paul Pizzuti and of course Sam Eberwein, the team’s kicker who is also a secondyear pharmacy student.

Listen to Dr. Bowman and the entire broadcast team this season on 107.3 FM in Fayetteville, or live online at gocamels.com.

Q&A - Polished pharmacy student, and powerful placekicker SAM EBERWEIN, 2015 STUDENT PHARMACIST AND FOOTBALL PLAYER

Why Campbell?

Having the opportunity to be a student-athlete was a major factor in my decision to attend Campbell University. I choose a career path in pharmacy because it would allow me to combine my passion for serving others with my love for science.

What’s it like to play football here?

It has been an incredibly exciting journey to play a major role in an up-and-coming football program. Each year I've been here we have made great strides in taking the program in the right direction.

I look forward to coming back years from now to see Campbell University football continuing to compete at the standard we have set for future athletes.

How do you balance football and pharmacy school?

Time management plays a crucial role during my fall semester. I have to balance a schedule of classes, studying, weightlifting, football practice, organization meetings, athletic meetings, and any other opportunity that comes along. I really love having weights at 5:30 in the morning because it gets my blood flowing and I am ready to take on the day. For me, it is great to go from pharmacy school in the morning to football practice in the afternoon. By the time I finish practice, I am ready to study.

Was your P1 year what you expected?

My P1 year was difficult in the beginning as I expected, but once I

adjusted to the demands of pharmacy school, balancing athletics with academics was second nature. Pharmacy school and football are both mentally demanding enterprises, and I found out that they complement each other as stress relievers. I also managed to find time in my schedule to pledge Kappa Psi. I am also a member of APhA, SSHP and PASA, and serve as PSEB’s parliamentarian.

Do you travel to away games?

I have traveled to every away game we've played since joining the team in 2009. P1 year was an interesting experience as far as test schedules. I missed two of Dr. Chazotte’s tests in the fall, but he worked with me on making them up. I am fortunate that he was very helpful in allowing me to take them on a different day.

What do you plan to do after you graduate?

I plan on looking for a residency opportunity (and eventually a career) in a field that I am interested in. Currently, have an interest in oncology and nuclear pharmacy, but I am still researching new opportunities to gain a better understanding of the direction I want to go in when I graduate.

Any other thoughts?

It’s my senior year eligibility on the football team. I’m not ready to be done, but ready to be a senior. It’s a really exciting time and I know it will be over before I know it.
