As you may be aware, 2014 marks the centennial year for West Virginia University School of Pharmacy. Our centennial theme has been “Honoring Tradition, Leading Change,” and you may have noticed the centennial logo on many of our publications or at events this year. As the School of Pharmacy prepared for our centennial celebration, we have had the opportunity to read about our school’s history and to recognize the accomplishments of so many WVU alumni, many of whom are active preceptors. It has certainly been a time to honor our WVU traditions and to celebrate our alumni and students that are leaders in the rapidly changing healthcare environment.

As preceptors, you are an essential element to leading change in pharmacy practice. The time you spend with our students, discussing current pharmacy issues and inspiring our students to envision themselves at the forefront of new pharmacy practice models, is invaluable to leading our profession forward. We are constantly impressed by the initiative of our students in pharmacy advocacy at the local, state, and national level and their desire to be change-makers in the profession. Our students’ drive and vision starts with their educational experience, 30 percent of which is comprised of IPPE and APPE.

We strive to prepare our students to be competitive in an increasingly crowded job market, and the educational opportunities provided by our preceptors play a huge role in their preparedness to enter the profession. A record number of graduates obtained postgraduate pharmacy residency placements in 2014, and many students found employment opportunities in both community and hospital practice settings. We have so many reasons to be proud of our WVU School of Pharmacy graduates!

The WVU School of Pharmacy continues to lead change in the profession, and we are thrilled to share some of the outstanding efforts of our students and preceptors. You will have the opportunity to read about recent graduates giving back as preceptors, our APPE Preceptor and Faculty Preceptor of the Year, as well as the role of one of our sites — the West Virginia Poison Center — played during the water crisis in Charleston last year.

As always, we are very grateful for your time, your energy, and the role you play in shaping future pharmacists. We could not deliver our curriculum without your efforts. We know that being a preceptor requires planning and adjusting your schedule and increases your workload. Your dedication to our students and our school is exceptional and greatly appreciated. You are truly leading change.

We thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.

Bob Foster, R.Ph., found the best way to combine his love for teaching and his love for pharmacy – being a preceptor.“I feel like I was always supposed to be a teacher,” he said. “My wife, Barb, is a teacher, and all the personality tests you take in school when you are growing up always pointed me to teaching. By being a preceptor for student pharmacists, I have the best of both worlds.”

Foster, executive director of pharmacy services at Boone Memorial Hospital in Madison, West Virginia, has been offering WVU student pharmacists Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience rotations since he became a preceptor for the School. He began his career at Charleston Area Medical Center, moved to Kanawha Valley Memorial Hospital, and then started his own company, Pharmacy Management and Consulting Services. Though he may have changed career locations, being a preceptor remained constant.

Over the course of the years, Foster has precepted over 350 student pharmacists from the WVU School of Pharmacy, University of Charleston, Marshall University, and Shenandoah University.

On his institutional rotation at Boone Memorial Hospital, student pharmacists have the opportunity under the supervision of the staff to provide renal monitoring, provide discharge counseling, be part of the medication reconciliation process, and provide kinetic consulting.

“I think our way of teaching the students is to tell, show, watch, and correct.” Foster said. “We want to let them try their wings and achieve successes in a controlled environment.”

Students have the opportunity to participate in or develop projects such as formulary presentations, disease state management and therapy protocol development, and community health fairs.

At the annual Boone Memorial Hospital Health Fair held at the Madison Civic Center, students created poster boards and were able to provide information to community members about steroids, caffeine, influenza, and specific disease states.

Students are also able to work with the pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and physician assistants on these and other special projects.

“We have had so many requests from providers for students to work on their specific projects that we had to create a priority list for the requests,” Foster said. “We want our current students to see what is possible on their rotation, so we will show them projects from past students, and sometimes the current student will need to help continue the project. Our students always get credit for all the work that they do.”

Foster feels that students may enjoy his rotation because the entire healthcare team at Boone Memorial Hospital accepts the students as part of the team — and he is correct. In a rotation evaluation, one student commented, “The best things about this rotation were my in-depth interactions with other healthcare professionals, the opportunities given to me to learn more

about the pharmacy profession and where it’s headed in the future, and getting to know the wonderful pharmacy staff.”

Another student evaluation stated, “One of the best things about this rotation was getting to know all the staff within the pharmacy itself and throughout the hospital. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, which helped to make this rotation a great experience. I really enjoyed getting to do the discharge counseling with patients and getting to work on various projects throughout the rotation.”

Foster’s advice for his students? “Don’t be afraid to change; if you start your career in one facet of pharmacy, you can change,” he said. “Be politically active. We need to be there to take up the role in medication reconciliation. Most importantly, focus on the patient and you will never lose.”

The WVU School of Pharmacy and the Office of Experiential Learning are grateful for the teaching and guidance our preceptors provide. For Foster, precepting is the perfect way to be able to help students on their path to success in the profession of pharmacy.

“Being a preceptor is not as hard as it looks,” Foster said. “The rewards are much greater than the effort, but you must be committed. The resources are there to help you.”

The WVU School of Pharmacy Office of Experiential Learning is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 Preceptor and Faculty Preceptor of the Year Awards. The recipients strive to create the best learning environments while providing student pharmacists with the opportunities and experiences that will enable them to provide exceptional patient care. We are extremely grateful for all they have done in teaching and mentoring our students.

a difference while precepting, and seeing students succeed thanks in part to the time that you put into their training makes it completely worth it.”

On Crowley’s rotation, students have the opportunity to make therapeutic recommendations to physicians during Family Medicine and Medical Rehab rounds, assist in renal monitoring and recommending renal dose adjustments when necessary, counsel patients, and participate in community service initiatives. Students are also asked what topics they would like to learn more about, and they are given the opportunity to lead those topic discussions.

Crowley hopes student pharmacists complete his rotation with more knowledge about clinical hospital pharmacies and acquire the confidence for a successful pharmacy career.

“Pharmacy is a great profession in that you can truly get out as much as you put in, and I want students to realize this so they may reach their full potential,” he added.

Faculty Preceptor of the Year CHARLES D. PONTEThe Faculty Preceptor of the Year is an annual award presented to a faculty member who precepts APPE rotations. Fourth-year students may nominate any faculty preceptor with whom they completed a rotation, and the Faculty Preceptor of the Year award is selected based on these nominations. The 2014 Faculty Preceptor of the Year is Dr. Charles Ponte, professor of Clinical Pharmacy and Family Medicine at the WVU School of Pharmacy.

Dr. Ponte earned his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy Degree from the University of Connecticut in 1975, and completed a hospital pharmacy residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1976. After completing his residency, Dr. Ponte

earned his Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from the University of Utah College of Pharmacy in 1980. He joined our faculty, with a joint appointment in the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Family Medicine through the School of Medicine, 34 years ago. He has been precepting students during his entire time at WVU.

“Students have to transpose their acquired knowledge and skills obtained in the classroom setting to the patient care environs,” Ponte said. “As a preceptor, I offer the student not only the practice venue, but also serve as their ‘guide’. I facilitate their transition from being a repository of facts to one who applies their knowledge to solve a myriad of patient care issues. This mentorship role is vitally important.”

Ponte’s rotation has evolved over the years into an acute care rotation involving primarily patients in the hospital managed by the Family Medicine ward team. The students play a vital role as members of that team and take part in “table” and “walk rounds” and are assigned their own patients. During this rotation, students will conduct drug histories, provide discharge counseling, patient and provider education, patient monitoring, medication reconciliation services, and provide drug information to the medical residents and others. In addition to their hospital responsibilities, the students also participate in a twice weekly Discharge Clinic offered in the Clark K. Sleeth Family Medicine Center. The Discharge Clinic provides timely follow-up for Family Medicine patients recently discharged from Ruby Memorial Hospital.

When asked what he hopes students take away from his rotation, Ponte said he wants his students to understand that, “they know more than they realize, they can assume an integral role in managing acutely ill patients, they can begin to better collect and assimilate complex patient data for purposes of patient monitoring and constructing therapeutic plans, and they don’t have to know everything, but know where to find it.”

Our students clearly appreciate Ponte’s efforts and talents. As one student stated, “I truly could not have asked for a better, more knowledgeable, and truly more genuine preceptor for this rotation than Dr. Charles Ponte. It was clearly evident from the first day of rotation that this man is highly respected throughout the entire hospital and community for his intelligence, leadership, and devotion to the profession of pharmacy. His passion for teaching made the experience more valuable to me than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Ponte represents a prime example of everything a pharmacist should strive to be, and truly serves as an example to be followed by his students.”

Preceptor of the Year Awards

Preceptor of the Year JOHN CROWLEYThe WVU School of Pharmacy Preceptor of the Year Award recognizes pharmacists who dedicate their time and go above and beyond to provide student pharmacists with exceptional learning opportunities at their rotation site. The award is given based on nominations from student pharmacists who completed the rotation.

Dr. John Crowley, internal medicine clinical pharmacy specialist at Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) Memorial Hospital, is a 2010 graduate of the WVU School of Pharmacy, and has been a preceptor since 2012. He precepts both Introductory Pharmacy Practice and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience institutional rotations. Dr. Crowley was nominated for the Preceptor of the Year award while in his previous position as clinical staff pharmacist at CAMC General Hospital.

Dr. Crowley completed a PGY-1 Residency at Valley Health/Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, Virginia, and obtained teaching certification by the Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy in conjunction with the Shenandoah University School of Education. In November 2013, he received his Board Certification in Pharmacotherapy.

“Pharmacy offers endless opportunities to be educated or to be the educator, and I feel at home in both of those roles,” he said. “Having so many great preceptors has been quite an inspiration for me. They truly helped guide me to where I am today. I want to be that same inspiration for other pharmacy students.”

Student pharmacists on his rotation recognize this passion and devotion for learning and teaching. In Dr. Crowley’s Preceptor of the Year nomination one student stated, “Dr. Crowley is a devoted preceptor who focuses on your interests in pharmacy and provides discussions on important aspects of those interests. His attitude is highly positive and encouraging at all moments, whether it is on rounds or verifying orders in the main pharmacy. He not only creates a comfortable environment to learn in, but also teaches in a manner that evokes motivation to attain more knowledge.”

“To win an award based entirely on student nominations is really special,” Crowley said. “There are so many opportunities to make

PERSPECTIVESAlumni

Preceptors are influential in shaping the lives and career paths of our student pharmacists. They are cheerleaders who offer words of encouragement, mentors who pass along their wisdom and expertise, and sounding boards that provide advice and feedback. We are proud when our WVU School of Pharmacy alumni choose to become preceptors as this not only shows their dedication to helping teach our future pharmacists, but it also reinforces how their lives were changed by the guidance they received from their preceptors as students. The following profiles are of a few recent graduates of our program who have decided to become preceptors.

Dr. Ashleigh Barrickman wanted a career in healthcare and was inspired by a close family friend who was a pharmacist. Because of her strong desire to teach and help others, she knew very early in her pharmacy studies that she wanted to be a preceptor. In her work as a community pharmacy resident at the WVU School of Pharmacy and Waterfront Family Pharmacy, she was able to improve the health of the community and also teach student pharmacists how to do the same.

“I believe that a preceptor is someone who facilitates student learning by providing them with opportunities outside of the classroom to apply their knowledge and further develop their clinical skills,” Dr. Barrickman said. “I had the privilege of working with amazing preceptors when I was a pharmacy student. Their dedication to their patients, their desire to share their knowledge and experiences with students, and their passion for pharmacy all influenced me to become the

best pharmacist I could be and take part in shaping the next generation of pharmacists.”

Her rotation experiences as a student pharmacist were extremely beneficial. She was challenged and motivated to go above and beyond what was required. She continues this practice to ensure her student pharmacists understand that patient advocacy, communication, and patient care skills, as well as didactic knowledge, are necessary to become a successful pharmacist.

“I hope that I am able to instill in my students a love and passion for pharmacy, and that I am able to help them develop the clinical skills and knowledge that they need to be able to practice at the top of their license,” Barrickman said. “I love challenging students so that they know they have the potential to work to the full extent of their training, and I enjoy knowing that I am helping to educate the next generation of pharmacists.”

Ashleigh (Landis) Barrickman, Pharm.D., Class of 2013

Dr. Amanda Staubs, critical care pharmacist at Meritus Medical Center, realized she wanted to be a preceptor for the WVU School of Pharmacy for two reasons. She wanted to give back to her alma mater and to help shape student pharmacists into becoming better pharmacists, just as her preceptors had done for her.

Dr. Staubs’ preceptors gave her the foundation to become a successful clinical pharmacist by making her think outside of the box, and teaching her how to apply what

she had learned in textbooks to real-life situations. She hopes by serving as a mentor and educator she is able to guide student pharmacists to utilize their knowledge, show professionalism, and gain the other essential skills a pharmacist must embody.

“My favorite part of being a preceptor is seeing the change in my students from the beginning to the end of the rotation,” Staubs said. “I hope that students will learn how to be the best pharmacist they are capable of being.”

Amanda (Carpenter) Staubs, Pharm.D., Class of 2011

Dr. Jeremy Prunty, assistant professor in the WVU School of Pharmacy Department of Clinical Pharmacy, spent his fourth year at the School striving to impress his role-model preceptors, valuing every piece of feedback they gave him. This allowed him to truly understand the importance a preceptor holds for every student pharmacist.

“I would not be in the position I am in now, nor as happy professionally, if it were not for my preceptors during pharmacy school,” Dr. Prunty said. “Being a preceptor is where I find the most fulfilment in my professional career.”

He recognizes the role preceptors play in student pharmacists’ decision for a pharmacy career and still remembers when he relied on his preceptors for guidance and insight.

Prunty not only hopes to teach his students the necessary skills of a pharmacist, but to also help instill the passion and dedication for the profession that is essential for quality patient care.

“My favorite part of being a preceptor is watching my students grow and succeed,” Prunty said. “I am extremely proud when my students are able to do great things, and I can say that I may have played a small part in their success.”

Jeremy Prunty, Pharm.D., Class of 2011

Dr. John Crowley’s favorite part about being a preceptor is getting to know students on an individual basis and watching them grow professionally. As an internal medicine clinical pharmacy specialist at Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) Memorial Hospital, he values his role of teaching student pharmacists on his rotation to help facilitate their learning to the best of his ability.

“I believe a preceptor has the job of preparing a pharmacy student for real-world pharmacy practice,” he said. “Every student is unique and will have unique interests, so it is important for a preceptor to work to bring out the very best in each student.”

Dr. Crowley’s preceptors when he was a student and when he was completing his residency were invaluable to his education and professional development.

“I learned so much during the one-on-one time I had with my preceptors, and seeing them balance so many tasks — clinical services, staffing requirements, completing projects, and much more — while still having the time of day to teach me earned my respect immediately. I knew that was the kind of practitioner I wanted to be. I still keep in contact with many of my preceptors and without them to look up to, I think I would be a very different pharmacist today.”

Crowley is most proud of his contribution as a preceptor when previous students inform him of new jobs or residencies they have received after completing one of his rotations.

“There are so many opportunities to make a difference while precepting, and seeing students succeed thanks in part to the time that you put into their training makes it completely worth it,” Crowley said.

Service Learning Projects Connect Students with Community

Medication and ChildrenWhen it comes to measuring medication for children, parents may not realize the varying amounts of medicine they may give their children if they use a household product instead of a medication-dosing spoon or syringe that is recommended by a pharmacist. The student pharmacists who worked with Parents’ Place — a nonprofit organization that provides educational programs and support to children ages one to five and their parents — created a series of health-related events and chose to include a seminar focusing on medication dosing.

“The purpose of speaking with parents about medication dosing is to make sure their children are receiving the most accurate dose of the medications they are given,” student pharmacist Alissa DuVall of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, said. “Using a household spoon instead of a medication dosing spoon or syringe can give an incorrect amount of medication — too much or too little.”

Parents who attended the presentation were also provided with medication dosing syringes and informational handouts further explaining medication dosing.

Head Start on Healthy BehaviorsStudent pharmacists working with children in the St. Francis Keepers group — an after-school program of St. Francis Central Catholic School — designed a series of information sessions to educate children about making healthy choices. The students focused their weekly presentations and interactive sessions on proper handwashing, healthy food options and portion sizes, poison prevention and medication safety, and physical fitness. Before each educational session, the children were given healthy snacks.

SundaleEducating area seniors about the importance of physical fitness was the objective of the project implemented by the student pharmacists partnered with Sundale Nursing Home. That is why they chose hosting a Senior Olympics for Sundale and other local nursing and assisted living facilities. The event included basketball, bowling, and wheelchair races, as well as other activities, such as hanging clothespins on a line to focus on dexterity and hand-eye and motor coordination. Members from the West Virginia Geri Olympics event team were also in attendance to assist with activities.

This was the third year students from the WVU School of Pharmacy have hosted the Senior Olympics event with Sundale. Event participants also received a variety of health information materials, dental hygiene products, and were able to obtain blood glucose and blood pressure screenings.

Managing and Monitoring Your HealthThe student pharmacists partnered with The Village at Heritage Point retirement community hosted a health fair to educate residents about certain health conditions and discuss prescription medications. The student pharmacists provided information about diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and osteoporosis. To connect with each of these topics, residents received free blood glucose testing and blood pressure, cholesterol, and bone density screenings, and learned how to maintain healthy levels.

Students also discussed medications that are prescribed for each health condition and provided information about other behaviors, such as diet and exercise, the residents can implement to manage their health.

“The purpose of the health fair was not only to educate residents about certain chronic health conditions but to encourage residents to understand what medications they are taking and why and to stress the importance of taking all their medications as directed,” Christopher Ooten, student pharmacist from Williamson, West Virginia, said. “We wanted to be able to answer any questions the residents may have had about their medications in case they were unclear about them. In order to get the most benefit from your medications and improve your health, you must take your medications regularly and follow all directions.”

Student pharmacists also provided information on immunizations, such as the shingles vaccination, to explain steps the residents can take to prevent disease and maintain their health.

OFFICE OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

As part of the Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs), second-year student pharmacists at the WVU School of Pharmacy have the opportunity to engage with and educate members of the community about their health.

Students are partnered with Morgantown community organizations through the WVU Center for Service and Learning to create projects focusing on objectives of the Healthy People 2020 program — an initiative to improve the health of all Americans.

While the IPPE class had the opportunity to work with 17 different organizations, the article below highlights just a few of the wonderful projects our students implemented.

West Virginia Poison Center

Helping the Community in a Time of NeedBy Amy Newton

had announced that residents should call the West Virginia Poison Center if they were experiencing symptoms and displayed the Center’s toll-free number. That caused the phone lines at the WVPC to light up.

“I received a call from one of our poison specialists that we were receiving contaminated water calls,” Dr. Scharman said.

The staff at the WVPC leaped into action. Assisted by a WVU student pharmacist on rotation at the Center, another poison specialist who had been called in from vacation, and two epidemiologists from the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, they began answering calls from concerned community members. From approximately 6:00 p.m. to midnight, the WVPC received 647 calls ranging from human and animal exposures to information inquiries.

Dr. Scharman developed information for hospitals in case they started receiving patients experiencing symptoms of exposure. This data sheet provided information about what was known about the MCHM spill at

the time, signs and symptoms of exposure medical personnel could possibly see in patients, triage information, and management recommendations. Once this information was approved by the WVPC’s medical director, it was sent to all hospitals with an auxiliary telephone number to ensure that calls could get through to the Center.

“The first night of the incident was incredibly busy,” Scharman stated. “We had to ensure that we had enough staff on hand because answering calls was our top priority. However, through the entire acute phase of the water contamination incident, we didn’t turn off our assistance to other counties in the state. My staff continued to answer the types of calls we receive daily in addition to answering calls related to the incident.”

The acute phase — the time during the water crisis before the “all clear” was given to use and drink tap water in all affected areas and for two days afterward — lasted from January 9 to January 19 at 12:30 p.m. Over the course of this phase, the WVPC responded to a total of 2,423 calls.

Dr. Scharman provided her expertise to local and state health officials, as well as the Governor’s office. In addition, she collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. She compiled situation reports twice a day, as well as reports of symptoms that were being seen in the community. During the event, she also provided information to media through interviews and press conferences.

Scharman credits disaster planning and preparation to the success of the WVPC in handling the incoming calls and distributing information during the water incident.

“This is what we do,” she said. “We have disaster plans in place, we used all our plans, and it worked. This incident was on a massive scale, but we were prepared for what to do. We’re here 24/7 to help the community.”

Some may take for granted the simple act of turning on a faucet to get water to brush their teeth or cook a meal. In January 2014, though, thousands of residents in southern West Virginia were not able to carry out even the most basic tasks, let alone get a glass of water to drink, because of a chemical leak into the Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia.

On Thursday, January 9, Dr. Elizabeth Scharman, professor in the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy Department of Clinical Pharmacy and director of the West Virginia Poison Center (WVPC), received what seemed to be a general information call from a reporter asking about 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) because there were reports of an odor in the air. It wasn’t an out of the ordinary question, but that would soon change by 6:00 p.m. that evening.

West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin held a press conference discussing the MCHM leak into the river and issued a state of emergency to not use the water. The Governor
