James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy
James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy Report from the Dean 2013-14 James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy Mi s sion The University of Cincinnati James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy will contribute to the health of our community and nation through the development of graduates and faculty who will be leaders in pharmacy practice and the pharmaceutical sciences, and be widely recognized for our research programs and continuous innovations in education. V i sion The Winkle College of Pharmacy will be widely recognized as a premier college of pharmacy for the excellence of its academic, research, practice programs and scholarly activity, led by our expert faculty. Our outstanding students, educated in an interprofessional environment, will become leaders in the practice of pharmacy and pharmaceutical research. Our college will be: ·Led with vision and strategic planning ·Proactive in the face of challenges ·Financially viable, entrepreneurial and growing ·Known for innovation, scholarship and collaboration ·Committed to meeting the needs of a diverse society ·Dedicated to life-long learning c or e va lu es ·Student centered learning ·Collaborative discovery ·Health care improvement ·Strength in diversity ·Real world experience ·Community engagement st r at e gic g oal s To enhance: ·Visibility ·Viability ·Learning ·Discovery 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! “Dean Mac” Neil MacKinnon, BSc (Pharm), MSc (Pharm), PhD Dean and Professor James L.

Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. 3 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati University Honor Kenneth Skau, PhD, a professor emeritus in the Winkle College of Pharmacy, was selected as UC’s 2014 recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Professor Award. He was honored at the All-University Faculty Awards celebration in April 2014. | report 2013–14 8-year accreditation period awarded to the college in 2014 evaluation, the maximum awarded to schools of pharmacy National Recognition Jane Pruemer, PharmD, a professor of pharmacy at the Winkle College of Pharmacy and oncology clinical pharmacy specialist at University of Cincinnati Medical Center and UC Health’s Barrett Cancer Center, was honored in December with the American Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists Research and Education Foundation’s 2013 Pharmacy Residency Excellence Preceptor Award. stude n t ce n tered lear n i n g 4 Winkle College of Pharmac y | Degree Programs at the Winkle College of Pharmacy Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) comprises training in pharmaceutical sciences, therapeutics, medication management and patient counseling, with a final year of nine one-month rotations in hospital, ambulatory and a variety of other pharmacy practice sites. Master’s and Doctoral (MS, PhD) A variety of tracks or specializations are available in pharmaceutical sciences. Full-time, research-intensive tracks built around the drug discovery process Areas of focus include: • biomembrane sciences • drug development sciences • health outcomes Part-time master’s degree • cosmetic science focus • drug development focus (development process rather than development science) • online and on-site options available Graduate Certificates • clinical trials design and research • global regulatory affairs in drug development • cosmetic science • online and on-site options available University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. 5 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. 6 Discovery Focus Areas: • drug development • health outcomes • biomembrane/skin and cosmetic sciences Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. 7 Winkle College of Pharmac y | 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. 8 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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.

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. Clinical pharmacy specialist Daniel Knight, PharmD, and fourth-year pharmacy student Michele Wells-Walker in the teleheath room at the Cincinnati Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. 10 “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.” Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 Over 100 practice partners with over 184 practice sites collaborate to provide experiential learning and clinical training opportunities for students Akron General Medical Center Anthem AssureX Health Atrium Medical Center Beeber Pharmacies Bernens Convalescent Pharmacy Bethesda North Hospital Pharmacy BioMed Specialty Pharmacy Brossart Pharmacy CareSource Catholic Health Partners– Information Systems Catholic Health Partners– Supply Chain Cherokee Drug Shoppe Cincinnati Children’s– Home Care Pharmacy Cincinnati Children’s– Liberty Campus Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Cincinnati Health Dept.– Braxton-Cann Cincinnati Health Dept.– Elm St. Cincinnati Health Dept.– Millvale Cincinnati Health Dept.– Price Hill Clark’s Pharmacy– Beavercreek Clark’s Pharmacy– Management Clark’s Pharmacy– Middletown Columbus Nationwide Children’s Hospital Community First Solutions Crestville Drugs CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services CVS Pharmacy CVS Pharmacy–Clifton CVS Pharmacy–Walnut Hills CVS Pharmacy–Hartwell CVS Pharmacy–Montgomery CVS Pharmacy–Indian Hill CVS Pharmacy–Colerain CVS Pharmacy–Beechmont CVS Pharmacy–Cinti-Batavia Pk CVS Pharmacy–Corporate CVS Pharmacy–Franklin CVS Pharmacy–Kenwood CVS Pharmacy–Landen CVS Pharmacy–West Chester Dayton Children’s Hospital Dearborn County Hospital Dept. of Veterans Affairs– Dayton Dept. of Veterans Affairs– Chillicothe Dept. of Veterans Affairs– Cincinnati Dept. of Veterans Affairs– Cincinnati Fort Thomas Drake–Christ Hospital Drug & Poison Information Center–Cincinnati Eli Lilly Express Scripts Faith Community Pharmacy FDA Fields Family Pharmacy Five Rivers Health Centers Fort Hamilton Hospital Fort Mitchell Drug Shoppe Fort Thomas Drug Center Good Samaritan Hospital Good Samaritan Hospital– Dayton Group Health Pharmacy– Clifton Hart Pharmacy Healing Springs Pharmacy Health Warehouse Hill’s Compounding Pharmacy Homecare Pharmacy Huber Personalized Medicine Humana RightSource Incyte Infusion Partners Kaiser Permanente Kettering Hospital Kroger Pharmacy–Amelia Station Kroger Pharmacy–Anderson Kroger Pharmacy–Bellevue Kroger Pharmacy–Blue Ash Kroger Pharmacy-Blue Ash Kroger Pharmacy–Corporate Kroger Pharmacy–Delhii Kroger Pharmacy–Glenway Kroger Pharmacy–Dent Kroger Pharmacy–Ferguson Rd.

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 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. Open School for Health Professions 13 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 alu m n i strengthening our stature National Star Global Reach Winkle College of Pharmacy alumna Verneda Hawkins (BS Pharm ‘84) is the 2014 recipient of the National Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA) Chauncey I. Cooper Pharmacist of the Year Award. An executive medical science liaison for Bristol-Myers Squibb in Ohio, Hawkins, who holds a PharmD from the University of Kentucky, received the award for her continuous contributions to the profession. In Swahili the word rafiki means friend, and in September 2014, Winkle College of Pharmacy alumna Theresa Nolte, PharmD (‘10), was presented the esteemed “Rafiki Award” at the Village Life Outreach Project’s 10th anniversary gala. Also honored at the event was alumnus 4,635 the number of alumni from date of University affiliation (1954) to August 2014 14 Marcus Liotta, PharmD (‘14), who received the Village Life “Student of the Year” award. The Village Life Outreach Project is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit founded by Christopher Lewis, MD, to promote health care and education in the East African nation of Tanzania. Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 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. 15 Winkle College of Pharmac y | University of Cincinnati | report 2013–14 Dean’s Snapshots First year as dean, Winkle College of Pharmacy August 2013 White Coat Ceremony for the first-year PharmD class, my first public event as Dean September 2013 My first meeting with our graduate student council October 2013 My first Board of Advisors meeting December 2013 Jackie Finger and Rachael Fleagle after winning the national pharmacy skills competition January 2014 Part of the UC delegation to Chongqing Medical University in Chongqing, China January 2014 At Jewish Hospital February 2014 Along with Peter -Mercy Health, one of 13 regional health Zed, receiving award from Canadian care partners I toured in my first year Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Toronto March 2014 Featured speaker at UC Alumni Association event, Arizona March 2014 UC Pharmacy students join other Ohio pharmacy students at statehouse on legislative day March 2014 “Selfie” with UC PharmD Student Government (Tribunal) April 2014 Presenting gift on behalf of the College to a PhD student after her successful thesis defense May 2014 College’s Council on Diversity meeting May 2014 Picture with each team at college’s annual Golf Outing, fundraiser for student scholarships April 2014 UC pharmacy students April 2014 Accreditation win the state pharmacy business case celebration lunch for faculty, staff competition and alumni 16 On Twitter and Instagram: @RxDeanMac November 2013 Alumni and friends reception at AAPS, San Antonio, Texas James L.
