The college is named for benefactor
James L. Winkle, a 1958 alumus, who
remains active at the college and
continues to support the UC mission.
It’s an exciting time for the profession of pharmacy. As Daniel Ramos,
Ohio State Representative, recently told a group of Ohio pharmacy leaders,
“You [pharmacists] are becoming in many ways the first line of defense for
health in our state … allowing pharmacists to take a bigger role in patients’
health care will help many individuals … [pharmacists] are the experts and
we need you.”
It’s also an exciting time for the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy.
Since I began as Dean in August 2013, the faculty, students, alumni and staff
have notched countless achievements. And, as a college, we will soon begin a
$27 million building renovation, which is part of a $100 million infrastructure
initiative by the University of Cincinnati for its Academic Health Center
campus—all culminating in an interprofessional patient simulation center
supporting all health colleges.
On a personal level, this is also an exciting time for me to serve as Dean.
Over the past year, I have enjoyed interacting with the faculty, staff, students,
alumni and other friends of the college as we work together to achieve the
vision for the college. My wife, Leanne, and I, along with our three daughters,
have quickly adjusted to Cincinnati and we’ve come to love what the city has
to offer and warmth of the people in this part of the country.
I’m pleased to present to you my first report as Dean of the Winkle College
of Pharmacy. I believe you’ll see proof of the major role our college plays in
preparing the next generation of pharmacy providers and researchers—those
who, as Ramos said, will be needed to take on that bigger role in the health
care of individual patients and communities.
Enjoy, and go Bearcats!

In the hospital-grade facility, skills
in kinetics and complex dosing are
put to the test during IV production
simulations. These take place in lab
hoods equipped with video cameras
that record sessions so students can
perform self-assessments. Preceptors
watch the entire process and offer
real-time grading and feedback via
iPad or other tablet.
The space is part of the J. Richard Wuest
Family Pharmacy Practice Skills Center,
which also includes areas for small-group
learning and a model of a community
pharmacy with eight spots set aside for
role-play exercises in health education
and medication counseling.
The skills center, which opened in 2012, is
named for J. Richard “Dick” Wuest, PharmD,
who dedicated his life to the education of
pharmacists and development of the
practice of pharmacy. A Cincinnati native
who earned his bachelor’s, master’s and
PharmD degrees from UC’s pharmacy
college, Wuest gave a significant gift
toward the center’s creation.

Standout Students
A team of two PharmD students from the
Winkle College of Pharmacy took the
trophy at the 2013 American Society of
Health-System Pharmacists national
Clinical Skills Competition, beating out
123 other teams from around the country.
Jacqueline Finger and Rachael Fleagle,
then fourth-year students,
nailed both the written and
oral portions of the
two-day competition,
defending the pharmaceutical treatment plan
they prepared for a sample
patient case.
A specific element of their UC
education was put to the test when the
judges asked them to explain a part of
their written plan that no other school
was asked: the mention of motivation
interviewing, which is taught at Winkle
College of Pharmacy as a way to engage
the patient in a dialogue about their
medications.
92% of Winkle College of Pharmacy 2014 PharmD
graduates seeking residencies were placed in a
residency program during the 2014 match.
Nationally, only about 64 percent of students participating
in the match were matched with residency programs.

Collaborative Discovery
“An early discovery with tremendous
potential to cure” is how Pankaj Desai,
PhD, professor of pharmacokinetics and
drug metabolism at the Winkle College
of Pharmacy, describes initial research in
which breast cancer medicines, specifically those with the compound letrozole,
are repurposed to treat malignant
primary brain tumors such as gliomas.
The investigation started as dissertation research by Nimita Dave, who
completed her PhD under Desai’s
tutelage. Desai, who has over 20 years’
experience in oncology drug development, is also the founder of the college’s
master’s program in drug development.
Desai and team earned a $40,000
nod of approval from UC’s Technology
Commercialization Accelerator, and with
additional funding, a clinical trial could
start as early as 2015.

Molecular Pathways
“What attracts me most to skin
science is the need to decipher a
diversity of cellular interactions
and molecular cross-talks that
are related to both healthy and
abnormal conditions….”
Yuhang Zhang, PhD, assistant professor
in the Winkle College of Pharmacy,
member of the UC Cancer Institute and
an associate member of the Cincinnati
Cancer Center (CCC), is researching ways
to treat the deadliest form of skin cancer:
melanoma.
After coming to UC from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, he quickly
teamed up with his mentor Zalfa
Abdel-Malek, PhD, member of the CCC,
professor in the department of dermatology at the UC College of Medicine and
member of the UC Cancer Institute, to
collaborate on a number of studies
examining the molecular pathways
that lead to melanoma.
Assistant professor Yuhang Zhang, PhD (above right), with mentor Zalfa Abdel-Malek, PhD, professor
of dermatology at the UC College of Medicine, is currently leading a study on the roles and functions
of fibroblast in melanoma stroma (the framework of the cells) in promoting melanoma development
by regulating the expression of a protein called beta-catenin. Fibroblasts drive the growth and
migration of melanoma by providing structural support.
Faculty in the college have been awarded
more than $2 million in research funding
during the past year (FY14) and hold in total
nearly $5 million.

Getting Personal
Patients with complicated diseases are
often in the hospital, out of the hospital
and then back in again. But UC pharmacy
researchers demonstrated in a 2013
pilot study that readmissions have the
potential to drop dramatically, by at least
20 percent, when certain patients—those
with heart failure, COPD, pneumonia,
University of Cincinnati
heart attack or diabetes—are counseled
individually and their medications
managed by a community pharmacist
postdischarge.
Study author Heidi Luder, PharmD,
Winkle College of Pharmacy assistant
professor and community pharmacist,
and her research colleague, associate
professor Pamela Heaton, PhD, will now
| report 2013–14
explore the findings further in a 1,000
person study. Support comes from the
National Association of Chain Drug Stores
(NACDS) Foundation partnered with the
Cincinnati Health Collaborative.
Medicaid statistics indicate 26 million
seniors are readmitted to the hospital
within 30 days of discharge, at a cost
of over $26 billion annually.
Funding will expand a
College of Pharmacy pilot
study that has already
shown the role of
community pharmacists
in reducing hospital
readmissions, a major
national health cost and
concern.
Creative Thinking
Many people never see a pharmacist face
to face. Some have their medications
delivered by mail or picked up by a family
member, but that means the important
direct interaction with a pharmacist gets
lost.
Addressing this need—while also
creating a business model that works for
independent retail pharmacies—was the
basis for “My Home Pharmacist,” from the
Winkle College of Pharmacy, which took
first place in the Ohio Pharmacists
Association’s 2014 business plan
competition for pharmacy students.

The college’s Council on Diversity is the oldest such council on the university’s campus.
Taking Initiative
During the 2013-14 academic year,
Andrea Wall, RPh, chair of the Winkle
College of Pharmacy’s Council on
Diversity, participated in the planning
of the 2014 Diversity and Inclusion
seminar series at UC’s Academic Health
Center. The full council also turned focus
from its traditional programming and
last year partnered with UC’s STEM-MD
summer bridge program to support three
students who declared pre-pharmacy
as their major.
Funding from practice partner
Walgreens, which gives support annually
to accredited schools of pharmacy in the
U.S. to aid in diversity initiatives, was
awarded to the three students as they
entered their freshman year at UC.

Real World Experience
For over 20 years, the Cincinnati Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical
Center has partnered with the Winkle
College of Pharmacy to provide multiple
experiential learning opportunities to
PharmD candidates. This academic year
59 fourth-year PharmD students will train
in 89 rotations at the VA’s inpatient and
ambulatory care clinics where some
students will also be exposed to the
Cincinnati VA Medical Center’s telehealth
program.

“There has been a significant push
to expand utilization of telehealth tools
and services within the VA,” says clinical
pharmacy specialist Dan Knight, PharmD,
a Winkle College of Pharmacy alumnus
(‘07), preceptor and adjunct instructor at
the college. “We know these tools can empower patients and pharmacists alike by
increasing our patients’ access to the care
they need and allowing pharmacists to
practice more effectively and efficiently.”

More Than Just Talk
Two years ago, students from the Winkle
College of Pharmacy who volunteered
at health fairs and community clinics
began asking the question of associate
professor Bethanne Brown, PharmD:
“Why is it that teaching people about
the importance of immunizations is not
enough to get them to actually come
back and get vaccinated?”
The question led Brown and an
interprofessional team of researchers
from UC’s Academic Health Center to join
forces to conduct a study focused on
University of Cincinnati
improving immunization rates in
underserved populations.
Backed by a $250,000 grant from the
Pfizer Medical Education Group, these
faculty researchers and students set out
to hone in on the barriers to immunization specific to the population at the St.
Vincent de Paul free clinic and St. Vincent
de Paul Charitable Pharmacy.
The study consisted of two phases:
First to gain a holistic understanding
of the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors
related to immunization in underserved
populations, and second, to drive a
| report 2013–14
quality improvement plan based on the
Phase I findings.
“These opportunities have allowed the
students to not only help a community in
need, but to expand their skills to include
learning with, from and about students
from our other health professions
colleges,” says Brown, adding that the
success of the effort can be measured
in vaccination rates.
“Together we have provided over 250
influenza vaccinations and 50 pneumococcal vaccinations … all at no cost to
those in need.”
“These opportunities have allowed the
students to not only help a community
in need, but to expand their skills ….”
All student organizations at the Winkle
College of Pharmacy have a service
component. Organizations include:
• American College of Clinical
Pharmacy (ACCP)
• American Pharmacists Association
(APhA)
• Christian Pharmacy Fellowship
International (CPFI)
• Kappa Epsilon (Professional Fraternity)
• Kappa Psi (Professional Fraternity)
• National Community Pharmacists
Association (NCPA)
• Phi Lambda Sigma (Leadership Society)
• Rho Chi (Honor Society)
• Student National Pharmacists
Association (SNPhA)
• Student Society of Health-System
Pharmacy (SSHP) 12

Students in Service
Drop Inn Center
Whether it is through the college’s
student tribunal or a student organization, at some point in their academic
experience, Winkle College of Pharmacy
students volunteer their time at the Drop
Inn Center, Greater Cincinnati’s largest
homeless shelter.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, students
from UC’s colleges of pharmacy and
medicine help to run the clinic. There is
at least one volunteer physician and one
volunteer pharmacist present and
patients who visit the clinic are screened
and examined by the students, ideally by
at least one from each of the colleges.
After examining the patient, the students present the case to the physician,
who assesses the patient and explains
key points to the students. The pharmacist has access to donated medications
to dispense and the pharmacy students
then typically explain key counseling
points about the medication before the
patient leaves.
About 2,000 men and women come
through the shelter’s doors annually.
St. Vincent de Paul
Charitable Pharmacy
St. Vincent de Paul Free Clinic
The St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy in Cincinnati’s West End provides a
last resort safety net for those who have
no other way to access their prescription
medication. It is the only pharmacy in
southwest Ohio dedicated to providing
completely free medication and professional pharmaceutical care to people
in need. Preceptors guide the student’s
experience while at the pharmacy.
To date, the St. Vincent de Paul
Charitable Pharmacy has filled nearly
200,000 prescriptions with a total
estimated retail value of $20 million.
The St. Vincent de Paul free clinic has
a long-standing collaboration with
UC’s chapter of Open School for Health
Professions, an initiative of the nonprofit
Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
Overseen by faculty volunteers, students
from the colleges of allied health sciences, medicine, nursing and pharmacy
operate a free self-management clinic.

Alumni Nolte and Liotta, both now retail pharmacists
with Walgreens, found their Village Life Outreach
experiences indelible.
Says Nolte, who resides in Dayton, Ohio:
My first trip as a student in 2009, I had absolutely no idea
what I was getting into. Luckily the leaders on that trip were
very supportive and helpful and since then I’ve done a lot to
make the pharmacy function more efficiently and also more
safely. Even in the years when I don’t travel with the brigade,
I still help acquire and organize the medications and supplies
they’ll use in the pharmacy and my current focus is on finding
more cost-effective and simpler methods of inventory management. It’s a bit challenging considering the distance and access
limitations we have. One of my favorite improvements has been
the addition of pharmacy students as we now have a partnership
with the College of Pharmacy to precept students during their
final year rotations.
I would say this experience helped focus me. Though the
conditions are crude, the clinics we run are completely interdisciplinary and it’s always a joy to work closely with the doctors,
nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants and other health
professionals. We can truly see the impact of the care we’re able
to provide for the people in the villages we service. I’ve come
back from each trip I’ve gone on recharged with excitement
for my profession.
Says Liotta, who resides in Denver, Colorado:
I had a big task as soon as we arrived at our destination. On
the first day we had to gather and inventory all the supplies
that were left there from last year and add all the supplies we
brought with us. My main role through the visit was writing the
prescriptions for each patient. I would receive the patient profile
sheet with their diagnosis from the doctor and I would dose the
medications per the patient’s weight and sex, and watch for any
drug interactions. My role changed over the week as I guided
treatment to alternate therapies due to our limited and dwindling inventory of medications.
I think the experience was humbling to me. We have so
much provided to us that we do not realize how privileged we
are. Most of the roads we drove on were dirt, bumpy and rough.
No one had cars and most people were walking without shoes.
The houses we passed were mud and grass with no clean
water to drink or bathe with. It was a constant reminder of
how thankful we should be for so many of the small things
we take for granted in our life here in the U.S.
