DEAN’S MESSAGE

Three months into 2013 and what an exciting year it has been already. Our first interprofessional education event was held in January. During the activity, pharmacy, PA and public health students worked together to interview and create a treatment plan for a standardized patient. As our health care programs continue to grow, integrating interprofessional education into the curriculum is a key goal for us this year. To spearhead this initiative, Dr. Michael Adams was promoted to assistant dean of graduate and interprofessional education. Dr. Adams served as chair of the College’s IPE committee for the past two years, and I know he will do an excellent job implementing these new activities.

I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Leigh Liles Foushee as our new Director of Alumni Relations. Dr. Foushee graduated from our Doctor of Pharmacy program in 2000. She has been a strong supporter of the College and active alumni member. I think the fact that we have a graduate representing the Alumni Association will greatly enhance the program. I look forward to seeing the developments and growth that she will add to the alumni activities.

I am greatly thankful for the supportive community our alumni and friends provide to me and our students; you truly make a difference in the education provided at Campbell University.

Harnett Health System opened Central Harnett Hospital in Lillington this past January. This new facility will provide individuals in the community with much needed access to health care. I’m also excited about the new hospital because we are working to develop a strong clinical training program at the facility for our pharmacy, PA, and future osteopathic medicine and physical therapy students.

The College is now accepting applications for our doctor of physical therapy program. The new program is projected to start in January 2014, and we are accepting applicants for our charter class until November. We have four full-time physical therapy faculty members and one staff member working to develop the DPT degree. Dr. Dedrick, who serves as program director, has done a great job with the development of the program.

In February, I was excited to see many of you at our annual scholarship luncheon.

This is always a special time to recognize the College’s scholarship supporters, and thank them for their generosity. Scholarships make a significant difference in the lives of our students, and have become increasingly important in helping them afford their education. The impact of your scholarship gift goes beyond a financial value by giving students encouragement from their Campbell family.

I am greatly thankful for the supportive community our alumni and friends provide to me and our students; you truly make a difference in the education provided at Campbell University.

Sincerely,

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

COLLEGE

New physical therapy program now accepting applications Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences is accepting applications for its new doctor of physical therapy degree.

The program is projected to begin Jan. 2014, pending accreditation approval, and plans to accept 40 students for the first class.

Interested candidates have until Nov. 1 to submit their applications.

Over the next decade, millions of citizens are expected to gain access to healthcare services, which include physical therapy, due to changes in healthcare laws and delivery. With this new access to care, physical therapy positions are projected to increase 40 percent by 2020. Campbell’s new program aims to help fill this need.

The new 36 month, full-time program is dedicated to developing autonomous practitioners who function as part of a comprehensive interprofessional healthcare team, with an emphasis on care in rural communities.

Students will spend the first two years applying classroom knowledge with hands-on training. The final year will focus primarily on clinical training in health care facilities throughout

North Carolina, the southeast region and the nation.

The program is currently seeking provisional accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.

For more information visit www.campbell.edu/pt. The doctor of physical therapy program also has a new Facebook page: www.facebook.com/campbelldpt.

Team-based health education to expand at Campbell

Campbell University’s health science students will soon have the opportunity to train alongside each other in the classroom and during clinical rotations.

A pilot project for the new Interprofessional Education Program was held in January. Over 50 pharmacy, PA and public health students worked together in teams to interview a standardized patient, identify the diagnosis and create a treatment plan.

“We’re taking advantage of the growing health programs on campus,” said Michael Adams, PharmD, PhD, assistant dean of graduate and interprofessional education at the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. “We now have key players in the health care team to develop a collaborative training approach.”

The pilot was a trial run to evaluate what information needs to be developed into the new IPE curriculum. Adams and the IPE committee envision a three-step training process. The introductory piece will expose students to the roles and responsibilities of other health disciplines early in their education. The second phase will allow students to actively work in collaborative teams, similar to the pilot. During the final stage, students will apply their knowledge with real patients and medical teams on clinical rotations.

The program will run continuously through pharmacy and PA, as well as the osteopathic medicine and physical therapy programs which are both projected to start within the next academic year. The public health program is also playing a role in IPE. The pilot was the first of many team-based training opportunities the College plans to offer. Additional interprofessional activities are scheduled this semester, with plans to further implement components of the program over the next two years.

Dental, medical clinic helps nearly 100 uninsured children In February, Campbell’s Public Health and PA programs organized Give Harnett Kids a Smile at Harnett County’s Health Department in Lillington, N.C., providing free dental exams, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments for almost 100 uninsured children.

In a recent report by the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Dental Campaign, North Carolina was in the bottom five states for school-based dental sealant treatment programs. “Sealants, a protective coating for teeth that prevents cavities, along with regular cleanings and fluoride varnishes, give every child the best chance of growing up with healthy teeth. That’s a major reason why we wanted to do this,” said Dr. Ray Tseng, an organizer and initiator of the clinic. Tseng is a pediatric dentist in Cary, and one of five dentists who volunteered at the event.

The clinic was a collaborative effort with High House Pediatric Dentistry of Cary, Dentalworks Pediatric Dentistry of Fayetteville, Central Carolina Community College, NC Oral Health Section, Harnett County Health Department, and the North Carolina Dental Society’s Missions of Mercy. Over 100 students from five universities volunteered, and an estimated value of $60,000 in dental services was provided, including placement of more than 250 sealants.

In addition to dental care, Campbell’s public health, PA and pharmacy students provided medical screenings and educational programs covering nutrition and oral hygiene.

The clinic provided a unique combination of interprofessional care, as students and providers in the fields of dentistry, public health, physician assistant practice and pharmacy partnered together for a day of service.

“In terms of training our students, this has turned out to be a great collaborative effort.

It really showed them how they can work with other health disciplines to improve patient outcomes,” said Dr. Tina Tseng, chair of public health, and wife of Dr. Ray Tseng.

As PA and public health professionals are becoming vital players in oral health prevention, the clinic gave students innovative, real-world training on how to promote regular dental care, and prevent dental disease to help meet North Carolina’s rural health needs.

“The PA curriculum doesn’t extensively cover pediatric oral health,” said Tina. “Through the clinic we’re not only providing a service for the community, but we taught our PA students how to provide fluoride varnish which they will be able to do in their future practice, especially in rural areas like Harnett County.”

Campbell’s Public Health and PA programs already have plans to host “Give Harnett Kids a Smile” again next year. They hope to expand the dental and medical services to provide the community with more access to preventative care.

Adams named first assistant dean of graduate and interprofessional education Michael L. Adams, PharmD, PhD, was recently promoted as the first assistant dean of graduate and interprofessional education at Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences.

In his new role, Adams is responsible for developing an IPE program to integrate a team-based training component into the College’s academic programs. He will also administer policies and requirements for all current and future graduate programs at CPHS. Since arriving at Campbell in 2005, Adams has served in various teaching and leadership positions. Promoted to associate professor this past fall, Adams has served as chair of the College’s curriculum committee since 2011 and as the inaugural chair of the IPE committee for the past two years. In addition, he was the director of Science Education Outreach from 20092012.

Adams holds a PharmD from Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and a PhD in medicinal chemistry from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Washington. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a division of the National Institutes of Health.

Pharmacy grad takes on first Walgreens, Campbell residency By the time Rich DeBenedetto graduated from Campbell University last May, he had worked at Walgreens for almost 14 years.

Because of this experience, he wanted to start his new career as a pharmacist with the drug store, but had also set his sights on a residency. Combining his two interests, he found the perfect opportunity when he was selected for a new residency with Walgreens and Campbell.

Each one, teach one DeBenedetto’s first career as a social studies teacher only lasted one year before he realized that he wanted to be a pharmacist.

While earning his bachelor’s degree at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wis., DeBenedetto started a part-time job with Walgreens as a pharmacy technician. While working alongside one of the pharmacists, he became interested in the profession.

“One of the first pharmacists I worked with was very patient centered, and I saw his role as a teacher to his patients,” DeBenedetto said. “This helped me recognize that my role as a teacher wasn’t necessarily in the classroom, but more within a pharmacy setting.”

DeBenedetto stayed with Walgreens while he earned his Doctor of Pharmacy and Master of Science in Clinical Research degrees at Campbell. The company was still on his radar as he approached graduation last spring.

While searching his options, DeBenedetto quickly grew interested in the new residency with Walgreens and Campbell. It was the first post-graduate training opportunity offered through the drug store in North Carolina, and the first time Campbell’s residency program collaborated with a national pharmacy chain.

“Campbell’s Community Pharmacy Residency Program is dedicated to developing advanced level pharmacists who are prepared to design and manage quality community pharmacy care practices,” said Valerie Clinard, PharmD, who serves as director of the program. “Walgreens is a national leader in community pharmacy, and we felt like this would work well with our mission.”

DeBenedetto wanted to be a part of the new residency that developed more patientfocused roles at Walgreens, so he decided to apply. His dream opportunity presented itself when he landed the position.

Changing the count, pour, lick and stick model In his new role with Walgreens, DeBenedetto is working to establish more patient services, expand medication therapy management services, offer education classes for both patients and pharmacists on staff, and grow the immunization program. He is also completing a teaching component with Campbell, and gives lectures to the first and second year pharmacy classes, and precepts fourth-year students.

“I really want to change how pharmacy is done in the community setting,” DeBenedetto said. “So I figured the best way to do that was in a community residency where I can learn to enact clinical skills and get reimbursement for clinical monitoring and preventative services.”

His residency site in Raleigh has been targeted by Walgreens as a future clinical setting. A consultation room was built for DeBenedetto, and other pharmacists, to advise patients on their medications,

and provide MTM and health testing services on-site. The location is also one of Walgreens’ HIV Centers for Excellence, serving over 300 patients with HIV or AIDS. “This store’s goal is to have our pharmacists spend more time with patients, and frankly Rich is leading the way for us,” said Dave Catalano, RPh, Walgreens residency preceptor and pharmacy manager.

“It’s really changing the old count, pour, lick and stick model, to one where it’s truly going to benefit the patient.”

Ten months and counting DeBenedetto’s residency ends in June, but he still doesn’t plan to part ways with Walgreens. He hopes to stay with them, and implement the clinical services from his residency experience. He’s also interested in precepting students and becoming a residency director in the future.

Over the past ten months, DeBenedetto has been hard at work expanding clinical services at his site. He spent a lot time training other pharmacists in the Raleigh area about providing health testing and basic clinical services.

He believes community pharmacy can become an even greater venue for patient care, but more education is needed to create a beneficial patient-focused destination.

“We have so many opportunities to help and interact with people, we need pharmacists, patients and doctors to take advantage of these opportunities to provide the best outcomes,” he said.

Although he sees big challenges ahead, DeBenedetto has been encouraged by the interactions with his colleagues.

“Every time I am asked questions by other pharmacists who have been practicing a while, it makes me smile and realize that they really want to have a good source of information for clinical knowledge,” he said.

“It makes me think that we don’t have quite as far to go in taking patient care to the levels that I want them.”

- Rich DeBenedetto

10 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT RICH

1. Rich grew up in Fresno, Calif.

2. After high school, he worked at a chain drug store for four months. He didn’t enjoy it, or see himself working at another pharmacy in the future.

6. While in undergrad, he wanted a job in hospitality, but couldn’t find a position.

He stopped by Walgreens to get a soda, and saw a help wanted sign. He got the job the next day, and has been working for them since.

3. Before college, he traveled an entire year through Up with People, a global education organization which aims to bring the world together through service and music.

7. One of Rich’s favorite things about pharmacy school was attending professional conventions and meeting people from other schools. He thinks Jack Watts was right by saying, “Get involved.”

4. During his travels, he sang in Broadway-style performances and helped with community service projects throughout the US, Canada, Norway and Japan.

8. His stress release in pharmacy school was roller derby, until he broke his leg during a match-up his P-4 year.

5. Rich had the option to get free college credits from Up with People by attending a university in Hawaii or Wisconsin. He chose Wisconsin so the beach wasn’t a distraction to his studies.

9. This past year, Rich earned certification as an HIV pharmacist from the American Academy of HIV Medicine.

10. He also serves as the Recent Graduate Member on the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences’ Alumni Association Board of Directors.

These ladies are dedicated to the success of the Association and I trust that you will welcome them with open arms as I have.

To the alumni…at the beginning of my term as president, my goal was to get alumni more involved.

I know as well as anyone that this is a challenging task and we as a board are working toward ideas that may spark interest in each of you. Most recently we discussed our sense of service. As healthcare professionals, we are centered on service to others.

In the near future, we hope to establish events that are service oriented, such as missions (local and international). I pray that this movement in our Association will motivate each of you to “get involved” as Dr. Watts would encourage us to do. For those of you already committed to extraordinary service, thank you for representing your Campbell family and making us all proud.

To the students…this is the time of year that seems the most difficult. You have just returned from spring break and the semester finish line is around the corner. Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t slow down. Keep studying hard and it will pay off. Also, keep connected. If you haven’t already, please join PASA. We look forward to meeting each of you. It is a true blessing for us to get to know you, teach you and learn from you as well.

To the faculty, staff and administration…thank you for all that you do. You all give 100% of your professional selves to the direct growth and benefit of our future Campbell healthcare professionals. We are exceptionally fortunate to have each of you and we appreciate your dedication and hard work.

To our Board of Directors…it has been my pleasure to serve as this year’s Alumni Association President and I am busting with pride at our accomplishments.

Not only are we scholarship driven, but we had more lifetime members join this year than ever before! This is a direct reflection of the success of the Association and the benefits offered to our members. Thank you for your outstanding event planning, fundraising and ideas for our future. We will miss our outgoing board members and we welcome our incoming ones this May. The life of the Association is its members and their involvement.

I recently read a passage in my Bible that I want to share from John 1:51, as Jesus is gathering his disciples…Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.” Take advantage of such a relationship. Commit yourselves to service and you will be rewarded. Congrats on being a part of this wonderful Campbell family!

Campbell Connection

What started as a pharmacist-patient relationship, became a deeper connection through Campbell University

Dr. Ken Taylor, 2002 pharmacy grad, has been Mr. Andrew “Ben” Snellings’ pharmacist at Wal-Mart for the past two years. During this time, Snellings quickly took note of Taylor’s caring demeanor when they spoke about his medications, and enjoyed visiting with him at the pharmacy. Snellings was even more delighted when he discovered his pharmacist was a Campbell grad.

“One day we were talking at the consultation booth, and he asked me where I went to school,” Taylor said. “When I told him Campbell, a glow came over his face.”

Snellings had developed a special connection with Campbell about five years earlier, and now serves on the Presidential Board of Advisors.

He first visited Campbell shortly after his loving wife of 44 years had passed away of Alzheimer’s disease. Snellings was looking for something to do in her honor and a friend had invited him to tour the campus. During the visit, they went to the Divinity School’s library.

“I saw all these gaps on the bookshelves of the library, and asked why,” Snellings said. “They hadn’t been able buy all the books they needed.” He decided to purchase the additional 1,500 books in memory of his wife, who had worked as a professional librarian throughout her career.

Since then, Snellings has given an annual gift to Campbell in honor of an individual who has been outstanding in their service to society, and to him personally.

This year, Snellings gave a donation in honor of Taylor to the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. “Dr. Taylor exemplifies the best of courtesy, competency, and personality. We, the public, are superbly served by his graciousness,” Snellings wrote in his letter with the donation.

The gift was a surprise to Taylor. “I am completely humbled,” he said. “I try to help each patient or point them in the right direction to get the help they need. If I can make that big of an impression on someone, it is truly a gift.”

A staff pharmacist at Norton Sound Health Corporation, Bailey’s department stays busy filling about 400 prescriptions daily. They also provide clinical services to an inpatient unit, a long-term care facility and 15 surrounding villages.

She moved to rural Alaska, not only for the adventure of a lifetime, but to receive

financial assistance with her student loans through a government program offered to health care practitioners in the state.

In addition to work, Bailey has enjoyed spending time in Alaska’s great outdoors.

She’s been hiking, gold panning, fourwheeling, snowmobiling, visited hot springs, and seen a variety of wildlife.

“The life experiences are countless,” Bailey said. “Things that many can never imagine and things I’ll never forget.”
