Student Achievements
I was deeply saddened by the death of my mentor and friend, Dr. Kathy Webster. She was part of our Pharmaceutical Sciences Department for more than 15 years before continuing her career journey to ultimately being a founding dean of a pharmacy school in California. She left an indelible mark on CPHS and the alumni, faculty and staff who knew her. Kathy will be greatly missed.

CPHS is going strong. We are building on the successes of the past and continue to move forward while keeping our goals in mind. We are training future healthcare professionals to not only perform standard operations of their career, but to expand their horizons and find innovative ways of working while growing meaningful, interprofessional networks. Through educating for excellence, we want to teach them how to be centered in their community and how to be driven by discovery. This is a challenge, but so very critical in the ever-changing field of healthcare. In this edition of Campbell Comments, you’ll learn about the great achievements of our programs. Here are some highlights: • The Doctor of Pharmacy program continues to surpass state and national licensure passage rates. • Public Health had three successful events in February and early March with Give Kids a Smile, the Rural Food Access Summit, and the Recovering Hope Conference. • The Doctor of Physical Therapy program graduated its third class in December and welcomed a new cohort in January. • Our Nursing program received full accreditation status and the inaugural class earned a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN state licensure exam. • The PA program achieved a 100% first-time pass rate on the PANCE for the third year in a row. • Our new Master of Athletic Training program is recruiting students for its first cohort. While we are going strong, we’re only as good as our foundation. You, our alumni and friends, are the foundation on which CPHS has been built, and our current administration, faculty, staff and students are grateful for your continued support. Thank you. With Campbell Pride,

NEED A JOB? HAVE A JOB OPENING? We can help with that! Campbell now has a free online platform to help alumni and students find jobs, post jobs, and more. “CUHired is our career management system,” said the director of Career Services, Yasmine Farley, PhD. “The system is open to all alumni, current students and employers. We have approximately 1,800 active student accounts, 235 alumni accounts, and 614 employers using the system.” And that’s any employer, not just those with a connection to Campbell. Not only can employers post job openings, but the system will pull in openings from other platforms like Indeed and Simply Hired.
Dr. Paige D. Brown Selected Assistant Dean of Interprofessional Education Paige D. Brown (PharmD ’06) has been selected as the new assistant dean of Interprofessional Education (IPE). In this role, she will work to equip our students to function effectively as members of interprofessional rural healthcare teams. “I am very happy that Dr. Brown has accepted the position and the challenge to lead Campbell IPE into the next phase of its development,” said Michael L. Adams (PharmD '96, PhD) dean of the Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (CPHS). “I have no doubt that she will effectively and innovatively lead interprofessional education at Campbell into the next chapter of our evolution. Working with the faculty and staff of the University, I know that she will continue to grow our place in the IPE community.” A North Carolina registered pharmacist, Brown has been a faculty member of Pharmacy Practice in the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences since 2010 and was most recently the vice chair of Experiential Education and a clinical assistant professor of Pharmacy Practice. Graduating summa cum laude, she received a bachelor of science degree in Biology from Chowan College before attending CPHS where she graduated cum laude with a doctor of pharmacy CP H S.CAMP BE LL.E D U
degree. Brown then completed an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited residency in geriatric pharmacy with Campbell University and East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine. She is a member of several state and national organizations, including the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists. In addition, she has held numerous committee positions within the University and CPHS. “I am excited for the opportunity to serve Campbell University in this role,” said Brown. “Campbell IPE is a uniquely positioned program in that it has the opportunity to impact not only the future healthcare professionals we are training, but also the surrounding rural communities. With continued expansion of the IPE curriculum and promotion of contributive collaboration across all of our programs, IPE at Campbell is poised to make a huge impact locally and, in time, on an even larger scale. I am honored to lead Campbell alongside my fellow colleagues on this journey to developing a prestigious IPE program that will have an impact on the healthcare landscape in North Carolina thus improving the care of patients for generations to come.”

All About HPREP
HPREP is fun!
T
hat is a main sentiment when you talk to the participants, student mentors, faculty and staff who are part of HPREP. It’s a great time for experiencing hands-on interprofessional activities, giving back to the community, and learning about nine health sciences programs at Campbell.
“We have a great time,” said Support Services Senior Coordinator Steph Olson. “It is an amazing week of non-stop engagement between the participants, faculty and staff. The learning is collaborative and dynamic.” The Ransdell Family Health Professions Readiness & Enrichment Program (HPREP) exposes college students to a formative experience that combines academic instruction with leadership and professional development in an interprofessional environment. The program targets first generation college prospects, financially disadvantaged, underrepresented minority students, and students with an interest in practicing in rural areas. Founded in 2005, HPREP is a program for prospective students interested in the following areas: • • • • • • • • •
Pharmacy Osteopathic Medicine Physical Therapy Physician Assistant Practice Athletic Training Pharmaceutical Sciences Clinical Research Public Health Biomedical Sciences
Since its inception more than 700 students have participated in the program and more than 300 of those students have matriculated into graduate or professional programs, with the majority becoming Campbell alumni. One soon-to-be Campbell alumna, Emilie Pinto, participated in HPREP in 2014 and then came back as a mentor in 2016. With an undergraduate degree from Clemson University, she was recently awarded Campbell Medicine’s Student
CP H S.CAMP BE LL.E D U
DO of the Year and looks forward to graduating this May. “At the end of my time at Clemson, I was not sure where I wanted to take my career. One of my advisors sent me an email my senior year about Campbell’s HPREP and I felt like through that program I would find the guidance that I needed to find the right healthcare career path for me. HPREP was truly an incredible experience that introduced me to various healthcare fields, taught me what individuals thrive in each field, and showed me what it takes to embark on each path. It helped me realize that osteopathic medicine was everything I was looking for. Campbell is a place where you will be challenged and grow into the best provider you can be, all with an amazing family-like support system that always has your back.” Throughout HPREP students participate in interactive and interdisciplinary labs, workshops, seminars, and case studies related to health professions and their individual program of interest. They also explore a variety of health profession career opportunities and learn how to improve or strengthen professional admission test taking skills through a PCAT, MCAT, and GRE review session. Another appealing benefit of HPREP is being able to build relationships with leaders in healthcare and receive oneon-one advising with a faculty or staff member. Peter Soarers found that aspect of HPREP to be extremely beneficial. As an immigrant to the United States, Soarers didn’t know how the educational system worked and appreciated the guidance from an advisor. “I am from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates,” said Soarers, a Class of 2020 Doctor of Physical Therapy Candidate. “My family moved to North Carolina for a new chance to be successful, and I wanted to take full
advantage of the opportunity. Having a chance to interact with an advisor and with faculty before getting in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program was great. You can get to know each other and you know someone is there to look out for you.” HPREP participants also discover how to become more competitive applicants for health science program admissions and learn about the many scholarships offered through Campbell. Olson, who leads the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences' scholarship program, commented, “Since the initiation of HPREP, participants of the program who continued their graduate education at Campbell have been awarded more than $100,000 in scholarship funds towards pursuing their healthcare degree at the University. We do all we can to help support our students, including scholarships and financial aid.” Campbell is dedicated to service and that shines through during HPREP. “There is always a service component as part of the program,” continued Olson. “We wanted to give back to the community so we started packing bags for Harnett County Buddy Backpacks. Campbell and the local community come together to donate food to be divided into bags and given to local school aged children who have little or nothing to eat over the weekend.” Brittany Coggins, a class of 2021 dual degree candidate in Public Health and Physician Assistant Practice, summed up her 2017 HPREP experience in these words, “I was very welcomed and became part of the Campbell family through HPREP. The experience was amazing.” Learn more about HPREP and find the application by searching “HPREP” on cphs.campbell.edu.

CAROLINA CANNABINOID COLLABORATIVE (CCC)
GIVE KIDS A SMILE Our Public Health program was instrumental in leading the 2019 Give Kids a Smile event that provides dentally uninsured children with dental services and oral health education. About 100 kids participated in this year’s event on February 4 at the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine’s location in Lillington, North Carolina. Twenty-five CPHS students from Public Health, Physical Therapy and Pharmacy Practice led tours, talked about sugary foods and healthy dental hygiene practices, and helped make dental-themed crafts.
DOCTOR OF PHARMACY CLASSES OF 2017 AND 2018 MEMORIALIZE CLASSMATE AND FACULTY The Doctor of Pharmacy Classes of 2017 and 2018 gave their class gifts to finalize the endowment of the Matthew Ryan Tucker Endowed Scholarship to honor the memory of their classmate who suddenly passed at the start of his P1 year and who would have graduated in 2017. In addition, the Class of 2018 purchased and dedicated a prayer box to the memory of former faculty members Drs. Thomas Abraham and Bob Garrett. Class chaplains will have access to the community prayer box to serve their fellow students and provide additional encouragement, prayers, and guidance. Director of Advancement Will Bratton (left) and 2018 Doctor of Pharmacy Class President Doug Currington (right) stand with the prayer box.
Campbell hosted the Carolina Cannabinoid Collaborative (CCC) 2018 Conference on Nov. 9-11 at the downtown Raleigh campus. About 90 scientists, clinicians and students who study or have an interest in learning more about the field of cannabinoids met to discuss the latest research and hear from 19 speakers and review 19 poster presentations. Members of our Pharmaceutical Sciences program were instrumental in planning and executing the conference. Dr. Chris Breivogel chaired the planning committee which consisted of Drs. Pius Fasinu, Victor Pulgar, Steve Holly, David Eagerton and Krisztian Toth.

A MESSAGE FROM WILL BRATTON Dear Friends,
With Campbell Giving Day taking place in early February, I have thought often about how thankful I am for the Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences community. I have a unique perspective where I get to experience the generosity of our people on a daily basis. I witness our students and how they invest time, energy, and maybe even a few tears into their academic studies. I hear of the families of our students and how they selflessly give to make this opportunity a reality for their loved ones. I watch our faculty and staff and how they teach and mentor our students. I see preceptors who jump at the opportunity to share in the development of these students. I watch our friends of CPHS and see how they grow to love the college as their own. I admire our alumni and how they give back generously through their time, knowledge, and resources to make Campbell and CPHS better than it was when they were here. I see a college comprised of eight unique and outstanding programs that is well positioned for the future thanks to those who came before us, those who are here now, and those who will come in the future. We are better today because of you…and you can help make us better tomorrow. With sincere appreciation,
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AWARDS HONORARY LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP Drs. Greg Dedrick and Nancy Duffy were awarded honorary lifetime alumni membership to the CPHS Alumni Association. The award is given in appreciation of continued commitment, support, and service to CPHS and its Alumni Association. Dedrick stated, “I’m honored to have received the Honorary Membership Award from the CPHS Alumni Association. This recognition stirs up many emotions and positive reflection upon the opportunity provided by the Campbell University administration to start the DPT program; the many dedicated faculty and staff relationships developed and hard work they’ve put in; the quality of graduates joining the healthcare workforce; and the sacrifice my family has made to allow me to pursue such a dream. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity Campbell has provided me.” Duffy said, “As the founding director of the school of nursing, I hold a strong commitment to CPHS and the University and am forever grateful to those responsible for me being here. Building a stronger alumni association is another opportunity and one that will benefit students, graduates and CPHS. Game on.”
ALUMNI BASKETBALL WATCH PARTY The Alumni Basketball Watch Party was a great time of food and fellowship. “It was wonderful to see alumni from several of our programs along with their friends and family members,” said Alissa Loo, alumni coordinator. “Our group of about 60 had its own gathering space with delicious food, several souvenirs, and a dedicated place for photos with Gaylord and Gladys.” The Fighting Camels won 83 to 62 over the Longwood Lancers, which made the party even more fun. “Other events for alumni are in the works and details will be shared through email and social media,” continued Loo. “I hope to see you at an event soon!”

LOSS OF A FRIEND – DR. KATHY WEBSTER After a brave battle with cancer, Dr. Kathy Webster passed away on December 24, 2018. Kathy was associate professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Campbell from the mid-1980s until 2005. She left Campbell to become an assistant dean and chair of pharmaceutical sciences at the Feik School of Pharmacy, University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. From there she served as the associate dean of academic affairs at the School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland Eastern Shore. In 2013, she was named the founding dean of the School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at the Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, California. Kathy was a mentor and a friend to many students, faculty and staff. It is an understatement to say that she will be greatly missed. CP H S.CAMP BE LL.E D U
