Tepeyac Communit y Healt h Center Exemplifies Healt hcare Excellence and Cura Personalis
By: Carla Anders APPE SPOTLIGHT
My APPE rotation at Clínica Tepeyac has been one of the most meaningful and empowering experiences of my pharmacy training Working within an integrated clinical services model allowed me to collaborate closely with a diverse team of providers? including behavioral health clinicians, medical assistants, case managers, and medical providers? who approach patient care with compassion, cultural humility, and a deep commitment to excellent care. The clinic?s focus on culturally sensitive and patient centered care shaped every interaction and reinforced the importance of meeting patients where they are, both medically and personally The team goes above and beyond to provide the highest quality care while helping patients navigate financial and personal challenges
Through collaborative drug therapy management for diabetes and hypertension, I had the opportunity to take an active role in managing chronic conditions, adjusting therapy, and supporting patients through education and follow?up I had the opportunity to master direct patient care as I was consistently empowered to make clinical recommendations, initiate interventions, and contribute meaningfully to care plans as a pharmacist. The team?s trust in my clinical judgment helped me grow in confidence and independence to the point that I often forgot I was a student and felt, in fact, a part of the team At Tepeyac community health, every team member is bilingual, and this ability makes a significant contribution to the quality of care that patients receive
In addition to being an excellent training opportunity, what made this rotation most special was the kindness and camaraderie of the staff Communication among staff is seamless and joyfully positive The team is genuinely invested in kindness and compassion, making every patient and other team members feel respected and valued. I am truly grateful that I was able to be part of their family during my rotation and I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to any student passionate about closing the gap of social determinants of health
This rotation strengthened my clinical skills, deepened my commitment to culturally responsive care, and affirmed my passion for serving multilingual and underserved communities It was an experience that I very much look forward to repeating as a working pharmacist

APPE SPOTLIGHT
Advancing Pat ient Care Through Innovat ion: An APPE Rot at ion in Clinical Development
By: Justin Yi
During my Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience, I was offered a unique opportunity to dive deeper into the world of industry pharmacy I worked with the clinical development team at Tolmar Inc for two APPE blocks The clinical team consisted of many teams, which included clinical operations, toxicology, and clinical development This was an opportunity I could not pass up, which aligned with my passion for oncology clinical development
I was also able to work closely with Dr Ryan Turncliff, my preceptor, Dr Raja Velagapudi, senior director of clinical development, and Dr Evan Sanchez, clinical scientist and Regis University SOP alumnus This rotation was unique because I was focused on research instead of being in a traditional pharmacy. I was able to be incorporated into the team by attending meetings and providing input when necessary On top of the meetings, I was given many opportunities to present my projects and my past work on the U S Pharmacist article, Optimizing Dementia Care in the Hospital
During my time, I learned more about the 505(b)(2) pathway, which Tolmar utilizes for its products This pathway allows pharmaceutical companies to create drugs that are similar but not identical to FDA-approved drugs My research was focused on two products The first product is currently under the name of TOL3022, which is focused on oncology The other product, called Jatenzo, is an oral undecanoate testosterone.
TOL3022 is currently in a phase 1clinical trial in India My project was to create a phase 3 clinical trial draft protocol, which has an estimated profit of $400 million if given FDA approval. This experience made me understand the impact drug development research has on improving healthcare and giving access to medications to certain patient populations I was allowed to utilize the research skills I gained during my electives for the Pharmaceutical Industry Affairs certificate and my previous Drug Information APPE rotation with Dr Miki Goldwire
The Jatenzo project introduced me to a new disease state called Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) The emphasis of the project was to create a presentation for the entire medical team at Tolmar regarding the potential of Jatenzo in HSDD and a full clinical development plan in the case they were to develop a new formulation. I learned more about sexual disorders and products like Addyi and Vyleesi. After researching, I had to calculate a potential dosage for Jatenzo in HSDD and present my findings
All of this research was fascinating to me, but during my time, I was able to attend a Tolmar medical team retreat This was held at the Elizabeth Hotel in Fort Collins This opportunity allowed me to meet the team members for clinical, medical affairs, R&D, and pharmacovigilance I was invited to an axe-throwing social event at the end of the day This showcased a glimpse of the work-life balance that Tolmar offered.
Overall, this rotation exemplified the importance of researchers in healthcare and also how interprofessional collaboration is showcased in the pharmaceutical industry I?m very grateful for this opportunity given to me and the people I was able to meet during this rotation. This showcased the importance of pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Dr. Melissa Beyarslan, Manager
Kings Sooper Pharmacy
I've always had a passion for pharmacy and patient care and I can honestly say that my journey since graduating from Regis has been nothing short of amazing. I graduated from the pharmacy program in 2020 during the height of covid and since then have been on a path that has challenged and inspired me in ways I never imagined
I started working for King Soopers in 2016 as a pharmacy technician and that's kind of where I got my first real taste of the field I wanted to be in Over the years I worked my way up to a floater position traveling between stores to help wherever I was needed Then in 2022, I was given the opportunity to manage my first store It was a big step for me but I was both scared and excited to take on the challenge
One of the most unforgettable moments of my career so far came when I had the change to meet the former CEO of Kroger That interaction let to an amazing opportunity; I was flown out to Cincinnati to attend one of their corporate events. It was such a cool experience and that's when I realized just how much potential there was for grown in my career.
In 2023 I was given a huge responsibility; I was sent to Grand Junction to manage the busiest Kroger in Colorado. The pharmacy had been struggling to find a manager and I was tasked with getting it back on its feet It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience I worked closely with the team, focusing on improving operations and ensuring that patients received the highest level of care By the time I left we had made some significant improvements and the pharmacy was in a much better place
Now I'm back on the front range managing a pharmacy in Parker Every day is different and I love the opportunity to change the culture of retail pharmacy
Looking back I know that the time I spent at Regis laid the foundation for everything I've been able to accomplish I'm proud to be an alum of such an awesome program and excited about what the future holds
