Commencement 2013: A quick look back

Inside this Issue Message from the Dean College News Student News Alumni Profile Alumni Association Update Class Notes Upcoming Events

HATS OFF TO THE GRADS - Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences held its 24th graduation ceremony on May 10 at the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center. The day started with an outdoor brunch for graduates and their families, hosted by the College’s Alumni Association, followed by tons of pictures, words of wisdom, and cheers of celebration as the class of 2013 received their diplomas.

DEAN’S MESSAGE

The new advantages at Campbell University give us the potential to not only strengthen individual programs, but through partnership and collaboration, they provide the tools to further escalate our health care training as a whole.

On June 3, a small ceremony was held to celebrate the first day of classes in the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences, Campbell’s newest teaching facility which now houses the physician assistant and doctor of osteopathic medicine programs. The firstyear PA students started classes in the building this month, and the first DO class will arrive at the end of July.

The new 96,500 sq. ft. facility will open a lot of doors for Campbell University and all of the health science programs, including pharmacy, by enhancing our training efforts with cutting-edge technology and interprofessional collaboration.

As health care advances there is a continual drive towards working together as a team to improve patient care, and that’s really what this new building and the growth of Campbell’s health programs are all about — helping people. One of the things Dr. Wallace and I talked about continuously during this process is how Campbell can fulfill its mission of helping others. In order to do that, we want to better train our students to provide the type of care that will make a difference in our changing health care system.

The new medical hall has a physical assessment room that allows us to train up to 82 students at a time. There are 12 exam rooms where students can work with standardized patients and then discuss the scenarios in small groups. We have a simulation center with six different stations – including OR, ED, ICU, and labor and delivery – along with control rooms for observation and teaching. And the facility has an anatomy lab which will house 42 cadavers to augment students’ training.

From the pharmacy perspective, the fact that our students now have the opportunity to train in simulation labs will make our education process even stronger.

Up until now, we’ve just been offering anatomy lectures, but with the new resources, we are looking at ways to get our students into the cadaver lab.

In April, the University’s Board of Trustees approved the development of a BS in nursing degree that will be offered through the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. I believe the nursing program is a natural progression of our mission to help meet current and future health care needs in our state. And if you look at this growth in terms of enhancement and collaboration, it will make our health programs stronger.

On the subject of the medical home model, more disciplines are involved in treating patients together making it even more important for our students to feel comfortable working with PharmDs, PTs, PAs, DOs, MDs and nurses when they graduate. When they are educated together from day one, they realize they’re all colleagues. We already have a first-year interprofessional day planned in August for pharmacy, PA, public health and DO students. We are also working on ways to integrate interprofessional training at the clinic on campus.

I am thrilled to see these initiatives continue to develop and grow over the upcoming academic year. The new advantages at Campbell University give us the potential to not only strengthen individual programs, but through partnership and collaboration, they provide the tools to further escalate our health care training as a whole.

Sincerely,

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

COLLEGE

CLASS OF 2013 - A total of 166 degrees were conferred during the College’s graduation ceremony including 98 doctor of pharmacy, seven master’s in clinical research, 24 master’s in pharmaceutical sciences, 25 bachelor’s in clinical research, seven bachelor’s in pharmaceutical sciences, and five bachelor’s in general sciences.

Stay hungry, Nnadi tells grads Dr. Michael Nnadi, corporate vice president and chief pharmacy officer at Novant Health, delivered the graduation address during the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences’ commencement ceremony on May 10.

“Now that your dream has turned out to be a reality, your new challenge is to love pharmacy and get good at it. And as Steve Jobs said, ‘Stay hungry.’ And I say to you stay hungry in pharmacy,” Nnadi said.

When Nnadi was growing up he wanted to help people just like his mother who was a nurse. As he grew older he realized his mother was genuinely happy because of what she did on a day to day basis at her job. This helped him learn how important it is for individuals to love what they do in their careers to stay driven.

“If your heart is not beating for your vision, your goal, your business, for the pharmacy profession, if you do not stay hungry, then your career dies from lack of heartfelt compassion,” Nnadi said.

He challenged graduates to set the highest goals possible, reminded them that service is better than selfishness, and urged them to stay passionate, persistent, fearless and grateful.

“A goal is a dream that you color today with behavior. And out of that behavior come the steps to achieve it,” Nnadi said.

Nnadi started his career at Cardinal Health and held management positions at four major health organizations before arriving at Novant Health which based in Winston Salem, N.C. He is currently responsible for pharmacy services at all 13 acute care hospitals under the Novant Health system located throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

COLLEGE

Campbell trustees approve nursing degree program The Campbell University Board of Trustees approved the development of a bachelor of science in nursing degree as its spring meeting. The proposed start date of the program is fall 2014, subject to approval of the N.C. Board of Nursing, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

It will be the fifth major health sciences program launched or announced by Campbell in the last three years. The physician assistant program welcomed its first class in 2011, the master of science in public health program was launched in the fall of 2012, the School of Osteopathic Medicine will open and house its first class of 150 students this fall, and the anticipated doctor of physical therapy program is projected to begin in January 2014.

As with its predecessors, the nursing program will help fill a growing need in North Carolina. The current statewide and nationwide shortage of nurses — coupled with recommendations from the National Institute of Medicine that more nurses be trained at the baccalaureate level — means the overall projected need for degreed nurses will increase by 28 percent over the next decade.

The Initiative on the Future of Nursing — a project of the Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Foundation — issued a report recently calling for schools of nursing across the nation to increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree from 50 percent to 80 percent by 2020. Campbell’s program aims to help fill those numbers.

The proposed degree will be considered part of Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, which also houses the new physician assistant, public health and the anticipated physical therapy programs. Space for the incoming faculty and students will be developed through expansion of current facilities, according to the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees on April 24.

Undergraduate degrees at Campbell University require a minimum of 128 credit hours and can be awarded in four years. Students will take basic sciences and general core requirements in the first two years (the pre-nursing sequence) and professional nursing courses with clinical and laboratory components in the third and fourth years contingent upon the North Carolina Board of Nursing approval.

The establishment of the nursing program and degree will require the additional approval of the North Carolina Board of Nursing, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

Shelton heads to Shenandoah

Dr. Penny Shelton was honored for her 16 years of service during the Department of Pharmacy Practice faculty meeting in May. She is pictured above with Dr. Jason Moss and Dr. Amber McLendon who are also pharmacy practice faculty members.

D

r. Penny Shelton has accepted the position of associate dean of academic affairs at Shenandoah University’s Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy in Winchester, Va. Shelton first arrived at Campbell University as a student, graduating with her doctor of pharmacy degree in 1991, and then returned to her alma mater to serve 16 years as a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacy Practice. Over the past six years, Shelton oversaw the Office of Experiential Education.

“Campbell University is such an integral part of who I am as a person and as a professional,” Shelton said. “I will forever be grateful to the faculty and staff because they created the nurturing environment that fostered my development.”

In addition to her work at Campbell, Shelton is recognized in the pharmacy profession for her contributions in the areas of geriatrics, senior care and advocacy. She was the first pharmacist in the nation to have a community-based, senior care practice within an aging agency, the first alumna to serve as president of the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists, and the first graduate and faculty member at Campbell to serve as president of a national pharmacy association (American Society of Consultant Pharmacists).

Class gift creates scholarship in honor of former chair Campbell University’s doctor of pharmacy class of 2013 pledged over $25,000 to create an endowed scholarship in honor of Dr. Larry Swanson, who retired from the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences this past fall after serving more than 20 years as chair of pharmacy practice.

The class gift was announced during the College’s graduation ceremony on Friday, May 10 at the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.

“While Dr. Swanson’s professional accomplishments are quite impressive, I was more impressed by him as a person,” said Ginger Price Gamble, class president and PharmD graduate. “He is a person of high integrity, who believes in doing things in a way that is right and fair, and was always willing to sit down and have an honest and open conversation.”

The scholarship was a surprise to Swanson who was attending the ceremony as a special guest.

“I wish that I could adequately express my gratitude to the class of 2013 for this wonderful surprise and honor,” Swanson said. “It

was a joy working with Ginger and her classmates over the last four years of my career and I appreciate their financial sacrifice to this gift that will benefit future Campbell pharmacy students.”

The scholarship will be awarded annually to a pharmacy student with an interest in academia or pharmacy missions, two things Swanson is passionate about.

summer 2013

The public health, physician assistant and pharmacy programs at Campbell University hosted a community health fair this spring at Shawtown Adult Education Center in Lillington. This effort was the first of a series of health fairs designed to benefit medically underserved populations in the local area, and provide students with interprofessional training opportunities.

Students provided a variety of free screenings and information on nutrition and smoking cessation during the event.

Dr. Raymond Tseng, who works at High House Pediatric Dentistry in Cary, provided dental screenings and fluoride treatment for children ages 12 and under. Harnett Health also participated by providing information on breast cancer awareness.

The College plans to continue this initiative next fall to promote healthy living options and offer preventative screenings to members of the community.

Pharmacy students complete three-week clinical rotation in Africa Fourth-year pharmacy students Erin Dickert and Melissa Smisor completed their final clinical rotation in Cameroon, Africa, this past April at Mbingo Baptist Hospital. Mbingo is a 270-bed facility nestled in the mountains of northern Cameroon offering some of the most specialized care and advanced surgical services in the developing country. Dickert and Smisor share below about their rotation abroad, and what they learned during their time in Cameroon.

W

e did not have any idea of what to expect when we arrived in Cameroon. We knew we were prepared in terms of pharmacy knowledge but we were completely clueless on to how to provide care in an African hospital.

Our daily routine always provided learning opportunities. It started with chapel at 6:40 a.m., morning report with the medical residents at 7 a.m., breakfast, rounds from 9:30-11:30 a.m., lunch, and work in the pharmacy dispensing and counseling until our lecture at 3 p.m.

We had the opportunity to round on the men’s, women’s and children’s wards and spent a small amount of time in the newborn nursery. The medical teams were ecstatic to have pharmacy on rounds to help with dosing, disease state management, medication interactions, and determining drug availability.

Cameroonian care The hospitals in Cameroon share almost nothing in common to hospitals in the United States, with the exception of providing medical care. When a patient is considered for admission, they must have a caregiver present with them. The caregiver

is responsible for staying with the patient at all times, providing and feeding the patient all meals, and assisting with activities of daily living. There are approximately 20 to 40 beds per ward with about one foot of space in between each bed and only a curtain for privacy (if you are lucky).

Many of the patients were diagnosed with severely advanced diseases and while there may not be much medical management available, the families were thankful for any diagnosis and treatment option offered to them.

It costs 2000 CFAs ($4) per night to stay in the hospital. Payment for labs, diagnostic films (only ultrasound and x-ray available), and medications are tallied and kept on strict record in the patient’s medical book.

Upon discharge, if patients are unable to pay their complete hospital bill, they have the option to remain on the hospital grounds to complete construction and maintenance projects. Needless to say, the hospital is a beautiful place!

Serving others through pharmacy This is not a trip that will soon be forgotten. We learned a great deal in terms of medication name differences (ex:

glybenclamide in Africa is glyburide in the U.S.), the process of acquiring drugs in a developing country, communicating with patients of a completely different language and dialect, and medication safety and regulation.

The patients we cared for, the caregivers we met, the physicians we worked with, and the pharmacists we learned from made this experience beyond incredible.

The opportunity to serve is immense in Cameroon and they are always looking for volunteers of all specialties year-round.

We do not know when we will have the opportunity to go back, but we eagerly look forward to returning to Mbingo Baptist Hospital to love on people and introduce them to Jesus, the Great Physician.

Dickert and Smisor graduated with their doctor of pharmacy degrees on May 10, 2013. Dickert is completing a PGY1 residency at Palmetto Health Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia, S.C., and Smisor matched for a PGY1 residency with Spartanburg Regional Medical Center in Spartanburg, S.C.

Darrell’s Defenders Darrell Haymore, PharmD ’98, and his wife, Denya, have learned to tackle each day as it comes since Darrell was diagnosed with ALS in November. During this time, the couple has received an enormous amount of support from friends and family.

Recently the team Darrell’s Defenders was created for the Walk to Defeat ALS event which raises money for ALS research.

Read more about the team, and how you can help support Darrell.

T

alking and breathing can seem like challenges too hard to overcome some days, but the enduring love shared between a husband and wife, the support of coworkers, classmates, church members, and a community of friends and family, are what pull Darrell Haymore through each day.

It started with a torn calf muscle in early January 2012. The injury healed slowly, but Darrell still felt weak. He was going to rehab at the time, and the physical therapist noticed he was losing strength in his right leg and hip. Something was wrong and Darrell and his wife, Denya, knew it. They decided it was time to see a neurologist.

At first doctors thought Darrell had a disease called CIDP, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, but after frequent doctor appointments and numerous tests over the next 11 months, the diagnosis was eliminated. In November 2012, Darrell was given the official diagnosis.

He was told he had ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease - a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

“We were so blind-sided by this disease,” Denya said. “You don’t realize sometimes how many decisions you get to make on a

summer 2013

daily basis, and then you get a disease like this, and one day you can walk and the next day you become wheel-chair dependent, and that literally happened for Darrell.”

Darrell was working as a pharmacy manager at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, NC, when he was diagnosed with ALS. Even with the diagnosis of this terminal disease, Darrell was able to continue working a modified schedule for four more months. “God was giving me strength and peace and allowed me to slowly transition out of my work, He is so merciful,” Darrell said.

Pharmacy had been a rewarding career that brought a lot of great people into his life. It wasn’t something he had wanted to do since childhood, but a career he found through a little bit of fate, and divine guidance.

A native of Danville, Va., Darrell entered the Air Force immediately after high school with no clue of his future career. “The Air Force had a book about an inch thick of all the jobs they had, and I was told to pick one,” Darrell said. “As I was flipped through it, I picked pharmacy technician, and said, ‘I will give this a try.’”

Following his service in the military, Darrell worked at Moses Cone as a

pharmacy tech while he completed his undergraduate degree at Averett University in Danville, and then decided to apply to pharmacy school.

“Being from southern Virginia, I applied to VCU, and Carolina, but Campbell was more of a fit for me, because of the faculty, location and the opportunity that it presented,” Darrell said. “I really enjoyed my time there. We had such a close knit group in my class - Tom, Ron and Brian - we were all four attached at the hip. And the faculty members were fantastic; it was like a family really.”

Following his graduation in 1998, Darrell worked at CVS for a couple years before returning to Moses Cone. Over the next 12 years, Darrell went from staff pharmacist, to a pharmacy manager, and was then responsible for opening Cone Health’s first three outpatient pharmacies. He also met his wife while working at the hospital, who is currently the director of the Family Practice Center and Sports Medicine Center at Cone Health.

“Pharmacy opened a lot of doors for me,” Darrell said. “I learned a lot of things and had the chance to work with a large group of great people, I’m thankful for that. And I was lucky to have my wife next door at

ALUMNI

Cone. We were able to not only share a lot of stories, but she helped me through a lot of the budget information.”

Having the opportunity to work together is very memorable for the couple who just celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary in April. “This disease has been horrible, and it just continues to take but what it can’t take is what Darrell and I have inside, and that is our hearts, wills and our love for each other, our friends and family, and our love, trust and faith in God,” Denya said.

Since discovering the diagnosis in November, Darrell and Denya have received an overwhelming amount of support. Coworkers from Cone have provided meals for the past six months, their neighbors have helped with yard work, and their pastor and church family at Gospel Baptist Church have been a continual support system.

“Donated vacation time, the meals, the cards, the prayers, we have gained just so much strength and encouragement from everyone just being so, so gracious,” Denya said.

Their co-workers recently came together to rally behind Darrell and Denya by creating the team Darrell’s Defenders for the Walk to Defeat ALS event that was held in Greensboro on April 20. Darrell’s Defenders set a fundraising goal of $5,000; the response was so great that nearly $19,000 has been raised. Over 160 co-workers, friends and family participated on the team.

to recruit help. Numerous classmates, pharmacy alumni, and fellow Kappa Psi brothers responded by donating to the team and participating in the walk.

“Darrell is fighting the fight,” Nita said.

“I felt it was important to notify the class so that he would know we supported him and were behind him.”

Showing how strong his spirit is, Darrell attended the ALS walk in Greensboro. The team captain, Kathryn Foster, had printed red t-shirts for Darrell’s Defenders. During the walk, the team surrounded Darrell with a sea of red. It was a spirited image of all the individuals who were there to fight alongside Darrell and his battle against the devastating disease.

“Seeing all those out there to support us, it was fantastic,” Darrell said. “Having people dedicate their time and effort, and their resources, to put all that together was amazing.”

“Everyone has been extremely good to us,” Denya said. “He has been remarkable.

Iron sharpens iron, and you have to put something in the fire to make it stronger, and to see what Darrell has been put through and how he has truly become stronger in his faith in God, is a blessing. By the grace of God our hearts are filled with love, peace and hope.”
