2014 Annual Report
Outreach & Engagement The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy
Kenneth M. Hale, RPh, PhD This has been a seminal year for outreach and engagement in the College of Pharmacy. Dean Mann’s emphasis on strategic planning resulted in a thoughtful examination of our outreach enterprise led by Drs. Rodis and Kwiek. With input from important stakeholders, the resulting strategic priorities will help us move to the next level for our engagement in the community, within the profession, and around the world. We have done many amazing things already, but through a more robust organization and infrastructure for pharmacy’s outreach and engagement efforts, the best is yet to come! Beyond strategic planning, we have much to celebrate regarding other specific accomplishments this year. We engaged with students around the world in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Our “Generation Rx: The Science Behind Prescription Drug Abuse” and “Introduction to Pharmacy” courses through Coursera enrolled over 65,000 students! Three of our PharmD students were involved in Schweitzer Program projects to help manage hypertension among underserved patients. We conducted a signature program for NIDA’s Drug Facts Week at the WOSU studios/COSI involving students from Circleville, Logan, Jackson, Oak Hill, and Wellston High Schools. A new elementary toolkit called “Medication Safety Patrol” was launched in partnership with Cardinal Health through the Generation Rx Initiative. We have built upon our strengths in the Generation Rx Laboratory at COSI, the Partner for Promotion Program, and the Generation Rx University Conference. You can learn about these wonderful accomplishments and more in the pages to follow. We take great pride in what our students, faculty and staff have done to educate the public, serve the underserved, advance patient-center pharmacy practices, and advocate for professional change. But as the image on this page suggests, we have only reached the springtime of our outreach legacy. I am so excited about the seasons to come!

Ohio State College of Pharmacy Helps to Shatter Myths on Teen Prescription Drug Use By Danny Helfland
The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy worked with local high schools, The Center of Science and Industry (COSI) and other community partners to shed light on prescription drug abuse and medication safety as part of the National Institute on Drug Addiction’s (NIDA) National Drug Facts Week. The program was administered by the college’s Generation Rx Initiative, a program seeking to enhance medication safety and combat the increasing misuse and abuse of prescription drugs through educational prevention. Generation Rx teamed up with NIDA, the COSI, InterACT: Ohio State Theatre Project for Social Change, WOSU Public Media, The Cardinal Health Foundation, The Hope Blooms Foundation, Schreiber Family Pharmacy, and Logan and Circleville high schools to raise awareness of drug abuse and medication safety, while empowering participants to create their own projects to aid the cause. During National Drug Facts Week, Generation Rx launched a long-term partnership with Logan and Circleville high schools. The partnership has connected high school students with College of Pharmacy students to brainstorm ways to reinforce positive behaviors related to prescription drugs in their communities. More than 110 high school students attended.

2014 Outreach & Engagement at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy
“The idea is to not only inform students about this issue, but to also get them thinking about how they can proactively make a difference,” said Kwiek. “We were blown away by a lot of the ideas presented to us by the students, and down the road, we will provide the resources and mentorship to make these ideas real possibilities.” Generation Rx National Drug Facts Week activities included live theatre performances where the audience helps characters make wise decisions about using prescription drugs, a Family Feud-themed tournament focusing on drug abuse issues, a robot that showed symptoms of drug abuse and misuse, and presentations on the impacts of prescription drugs. “NIDA contacted us about getting involved because they knew of our efforts to increase awareness of this issue and our connections with local organizations,” said Nicole Kwiek, clinical assistant professor at the College of Pharmacy and co-director of Generation Rx. “While National Drug Facts Week is focused on all drugs, NIDA has been increasing its focus on prescription drug abuse and misuse, so this was a win-win for us.”
The Generation Rx Lab at COSI Nicole Cartwright Kwiek, PhD, Director Molly Brown, PhD, Assistant Director
The Generation Rx Lab at COSI was created as a fun, innovative educational experience at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI). In this space within the Life exhibit, visitors of all ages can conduct engaging, hands-on experiments as they learn about the science of drugs. Since its opening in 2012, over 8,000 visitors have directly participated in a variety of experiments such as extracting DNA or testing the effectiveness of hand sanitizer. Visitors are not the only people learning. The laboratory offers a unique opportunity for College of Pharmacy students to develop skills and experience in science communication, teaching, and research. All of these abilities, with particular emphasis on communicating complex scientific content to audiences with varied science knowledge, strengthen students’ interactions with patients. In 2012-13, five professional students rotated through the lab and 15 pharmacy undergraduates conducted independent study projects within the space. The Generation Rx Lab is collecting data regarding the impact of this novel platform on science learning. The site has initiated a vast array of new research opportunities, including evaluating the effects of pharmacology–based programming on informal science learning.

Online MOOC classes help educate over 60,000 world-wide Introduction to Pharmacy Coursera MOOC
Over the past year, Ohio State offered two online classes to students around the world. The class, “Generation Rx: The Science Behind Prescription Drug Abuse” and “Introduction to Pharmacy” were offered through Coursera, an online education company.
Pre-Survey Results Top Reasons for Taking the Class
For Professional Development
Through both classes, over 65,000 students from around the world were educated about pharmacy topics through Ohio State. The first class, “Introduction to Pharmacy”, explored topics in pharmacy practice such as history, evolving scope of practice, ethical foundations, regulation, and educational and career opportunities. It was taught by Kenneth Hale, RPh, PhD, assistant dean for professional and external affairs and clinical associate professor in the Division of Pharmacy Practice and Administration. The second class, “Generation Rx: The Science Behind Prescription Drug Abuse”, investigated the epidemic rise of prescription drug abuse and used science to debunk commonly held misconceptions regarding this phenomenon. Nicole Cartwright Kwiek, PhD, clinical assistant professor in the Division of Pharmacology, led this class. Kwiek is also the director of the Generation Rx Lab located in the Center of Science and Industry (COSI). In addition to Professors Hale and Kwiek, a number of Ohio State students helped to administer the classes and online forum.

New Schweitzer Fellows To Expand Blood Pressure Management Services to the Underserved The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy’s Abbey Strazar and Mary Vincent have been named 2014-15 Columbus-Athens Schweitzer Fellows. The rising third-year pharmacy students will focus their project on blood pressure management and education for underserved and underinsured people of greater Columbus. Schweitzer Fellows choose a year-long project that focuses on social factors that impact health, while developing lifelong leadership skills. Strazar and Vincent’s project will expand upon outgoing Schweitzer Fellow Kriss Petrovskis’ project. During the 201314 year, Petrovskis worked with the Helping Hands Free Clinic to address blood pressure management. The two women worked the past year with Petrovskis and have chosen to expand his project to an additional clinic, Grace in the City - Hardin Clinic. “We’ve had a great experience at Helping Hands helping with Kriss’ project,” said Vincent. “We wanted to expand to another clinic and help more people.” 10
High blood pressure is a common, yet deadly, condition. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in every 3 adults has high blood pressure, with only about half of those affected having their condition under control. Additionally, more than 348,000 American deaths in 2009 included high blood pressure as a primary or contributing cause. “As I learned about blood pressure in school, I was surprised how much it can impact other diseases like heart attack and stroke, said Strazar. “Working at the clinics, it is very rewarding to educate patients and be able to see a difference in their health.” In addition to the expansion, Strazar and Vincent will work on improving work flow and record management to provide a consistent patient experience. The 18 Columbus-Athens Fellows will join approximately 230 other 2014-15 Schweitzer Fellows across the United States. Upon completion of their Fellowship year, the students will become Schweitzer Fellows for Life.

Petrovskis Recognized for Outreach Efforts Kriss Petrovskis, a third-year doctor of pharmacy student, was named a recipient of The Ohio State University 2014 Outstanding Graduate/ Professional Student Award. The award, one of the highest bestowed to graduate and professional students, recognizes students who have made outstanding contributions to Ohio State in leadership and service outside of their academic program. Petrovskis, a 2013-14 Schweitzer Fellow, devoted the past year to helping patients at the Helping Hands Free Clinic monitor their blood pressure. To date, the program has served more than 112 patients with more than 134 hours of direct patient service and nearly 60 hours of planning. The blood pressure program is expected to continue after Petrovskis’s fellowship ends, with the expansion by the 2014-15 fellows. Petrovskis was honored at the annual Leadership Awards Celebration on April 11 at the Ohio Union.
