MUSC volunteers take the plunge By DAwn BrAzell Public Relations

David Geddings prepares for a dive show at the S.C. Aquarium, where he volunteers.

t’s a good thing David Geddings has a great sense of humor. The fish circling his wetsuit, twining through the tubing of his breathing gear seem not to bother him. Nor do the 385,000 gallons of salt water in which he is immersed or the sharks that swim above him, or even worse, the inquiring faces of preschoolers massed outside the Great Ocean Tank of the S.C. Aquarium. His job is not to bore them. By day, Geddings works in MUSC’s Department of Pediatrics solving

various information technology issues. On some weekends, though, he can be found volunteering at the aquarium trying to stay out of the way of sharks and eels. He’s one of about a dozen MUSC employees who have found aquarium volunteer work to be very satisfying. Shawna Byrne, a psychometrist who works in MUSC’s Developmental Pediatrics, said her volunteer work as an aquarist assistant helps her pursue a longtime interest she has had in animals. She ended up on a different career path, but found volunteering feeding the fish and maintaining the See AquA on page 8

Pharmacy student’s involvement opens many doors By KATIe sTACy Public Relations ou could say in Lisa Murphy’s case, pharmacy is in her blood. Her grandfather was a pharmacist and her father, store manager of a Walgreens. At age 15, when she started working at the store, she set her sights on pharmacy as well. Murphy is one of four women selected at MUSC to be honored as part of National Women’s History Month for women who exemplify leadership qualities and who make contributions in their fields. This year’s theme is, Our History is Our Strength, which Murphy has found to be true through her female heroes. She looks up to her mother and grandmother. Her mother inspires her because of her selflessness and how she’s always looking for new ways to help others. Murphy’s grandmother, a nursing home care advocate, taught her the power that one person can have to make changes. She tries to learn something new everyday and that is something that Murphy would like to do as well. Originally from Rock Hill, third-year pharmacy student Murphy stays busy. As a student involved in several organizations, student mentoring and volunteering at Crisis Ministries, she juggles a hectic schedule. Murphy said being involved in so many organizations has opened many doors for her. “I think when new students come in it is important that they don’t just come to school and leave but to get involved. You have the ability to network and get to know people you would have not met otherwise. Being involved has really made me enjoy my time here at MUSC.” Murphy holds president positions in both the Academy of Students of Pharmacy and Student Interprofessional Society organizations. Murphy has had the opportunity through the leadership society and student interprofessional society to speak at conferences and at Interprofessional Day. She is also vice president of Phi Lambda Sigma leadership society and liaison for

Lisa Murphy, right, works with third-year College of Pharmacy student Gena Hope. the student society of the American Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists. She believes the president positions have taught her about delegation and the ability to keep officers motivated. Murphy is appreciative of the many mentors who have helped her through school and wants to give back. “When I see people that I’m trying to mentor get to where they want to go, it makes me happy. If it’s encouraging them to run for an officer position and then they achieve it or helping them study for a test and then they do well, it makes me feel proud that I could help them.” Much of Murphy’s motivation comes from her parents. She said growing up they always taught her to remember wherever you go always remember you are representing someone. They told her to always do everything to the best of her ability and bring a good name to whomever or whatever she was representing.

Murphy believes her greatest strength is her work ethic. She tries to always work hard and do everything to the best of her ability. This is something that she believes will help her stay motivated to achieve her goals. In the future, her goals include completing a residency and working in academia at a university, teaching and mentoring. She wants to work as hard as she can, learn as much as she can, and take advantage of every opportunity. Liz O’Hara, a third year College of Pharmacy student, said Murphy is one of the most inspiring students she knows. “Lisa has talked me off several ledges and is always willing to lend an ear in support, a word of advice when needed, and manages to balance a schedule that would rival Dr. Greenberg's. She helps students perfect their presentations, quizzes the first year students at lunch, and is the ‘go to’ person for both peers and professors.”

Scholars Day promotes research excellence By CInDy ABole

Public Relations

ental Medicine’s first Scholars Day held Feb. 24 showcased cutting-edge research in dental, oral and craniofacial health and provided a platform for collaboration, said event planners. Dental students, graduate students, residents, post doctoral staff and other participants enjoyed a day devoted to science and focused studies in oral health research at the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine’s Annual Scholars Day event. The event took place in several areas of MUSC’s campus and also was open to dental faculty administrative and clinical staff. The event was sponsored by MUSC’s Center for Oral Health Research (COHR) and the College of Dental Medicine’s (CDM) Department of Craniofacial Biology with help from the American Student Dental Association. The event merged the efforts of the dental school’s student research day and table clinics with the Department of Craniofacial Biology’s research Visiting Baylor professor and dental researcher Dr. Rena D’Souza, left, and Dr. Saraswathi conducted by DMD-Ph.D. students and campuswide Ramachandran, right, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Craniofacial Biology, and MUSC oral health-related graduate students and post doctoralresearcher Santha Sundaramurthy discuss research during the Feb. 24 Annual Scholars Day. level investigators.

Simulation center aids in disaster training Public Relations

surge of patients with unknown symptoms rush into the emergency room waiting area demanding immediate treatment. Commotion ensues making it difficult to hear and gather information, all the while two mannequins simulating patients with severe injuries ominously lie across chairs waiting to be assessed. Time is of the essence for exercise participants, and patient lives are on the line. This scenario was part of a disaster preparedness training exercise that several College of Medicine (COM) students and a representative from the local Veteran’s Hospital Association (VA) experienced at the end of last month to test management and triage skills previously learned. Participants had six

minutes to mitigate the scene, categorize patients according to their level of injury and gather information about the event itself. Participant response and recovery efforts were captured in real time and used in debriefing with the assistance of cameras in MUSC’s Simulation Center, located in the College of Nursing, and a crew of experts in disaster medicine. “It was an incredible opportunity to be exposed to disaster training in a way that you probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise,” said Steve Martin, COM fourth-year student. “Hopefully, we’ll never have to use it, but it does create preparation.” The ultimate goal of this exercise is to demonstrate the feasibility of a disaster training course with a realistic, simulated hospital disaster. A short-term goal of this exercise is to assist the VA in the development of a national educational

This training focuses not just on emergency responders, such as EMS and firefighters, but also on those who receive and treat wounded patients. MUSC and the VA, along with five other hospitals and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce who

also are part of this training response network called the Center for Health Professional Training and Emergency Response (CHPTER ), are looking to see if technology-rich curriculum can actually save lives. “CHPTER is a communitywide phenomenon,” said Lancer Scott, M.D., See DIsAsTer on page 9

One of the favorite volunteer jobs of Shawna Byrne, a psychometrist at MUSC, is to feed the fish at the S.C. Aquarium. away from the walls and the sharks when they were in aggressive moods. Divers get to know the moods of the sharks and always swim in pairs. Geddings had his first close encounter on a check-out dive when he was performing an emergency ascent that requires the diver to put arms above the head and surface quickly. Unfortunately, for Geddings, he plowed straight into an eight-foot sand tiger. “She didn’t even budge. She kept on her merry way.” It was quite the initiation dive, he said. He recalls other times when he’s been vacuuming the floor and had the tiger sharks flank him, making a diamond

pattern. Visitors try to help him, frantically motioning for him to look behind to see the sharks all around. Geddings, who’s used to coming head-to-head with them, said fortunately they are well trained. He has to remind himself of that when he’s in the Atlantic diving and comes across sharks who don’t know him. What he worries about more than the sharks are the eels, who are blind and nocturnal. “They just bite at a space, so I have to keep my eyes on them. Their teeth are inverted, so if you pull back, you’re helping them.” The nurse sharks Geddings describes as mischievous. They don’t have to stay moving to keep water over their gills. “You’ll be down there doing feedings, and they just come and flop down on your feet and get any food other fish have left behind. They’re like little dustbusters.” Like Byrne, he enjoys interacting with people and often gives community talks about the aquarium. He especially likes hosting the dive shows, educating people who literally come from around the nation and world. He feels he’s giving back and enjoys going out into the community to teach about the animals. He said his department at MUSC believes in being active with the Trident United Way cause and encourages volunteer work, so the aquarium work fits nicely with that goal. “I feel I’m giving back. I like to volunteer, to help out. I’m like part of the staff here. We’re kind of like their ambassadors now. We’re always talking it up. It helps to drum up the interest. Without people, there would be no aquarium.” He never knows when his talk will keep a plastic bag from polluting the water or raise consciousness on other issues that affect the quality of marine life. “The worst stream ends up somewhere.”

tanks and salt marsh lets her get her animal fix. It’s educational as well. “I’ve learned to keep my fingers away from the turtles’ mouths,” she said, smiling. “It’s a way to give back to the community. It adds some variety to day-to-day life. It keeps things a little more interesting. I sit down all day at work. Here, it’s more active on my feet and getting my hands dirty and smelly. The fish here are very well fed.” Byrne, who said she can’t be squeamish to do her jobs, particularly enjoys arriving early before the aquarium opens, when it’s peaceful. She has learned much more about sustainable seafood and the role she can play in conservation. The other part she loves about her job is interacting with the public. “Feeding is my favorite job. It’s the most fun interacting with the fish. It’s fun interacting with the visitors. Little kids are funny. They’re so amazed.” Kate Dittloff, public relations manager for the aquarium, said the volunteers outnumber the aquarium’s paid staff by a 3-to-1 ratio. More than 300 volunteers give an average of 45,000 hours each year. “They can be found in every part of the aquarium working alongside paid staff, educating and entertaining visitors, feeding our collection, cleaning habitats, tending the sick and wounded in our hospital and helping out in the offices. Simply put, we would not be in business without our volunteers.” Geddings, who has been a diver for nine years, said it’s a win-win situation for him. He gets to have fun diving and keep up his skills and be an ambassador for the aquarium and conservation efforts. “You play with all the animals. We’re here diving when it’s 23 degrees outside and everyone else has hung up their diving gear until spring.” It’s a big commitment for divers, who report two days a month for a full-day shift. The tank has 750 fish with about 55 species. Geddings has learned most of them. He especially likes the loggerhead sea turtle, who’s lovely, but not that bright. He misses Ozzie and Harriet, puffer fish who have passed away, and a blind cobia who used to be led around by other cobia, who knew she needed help, he said. They would steer her

professor and CHPTER director. “It’s seven hospitals working together to provide disaster training for patient providers, not just physicians and nurses, but to anyone that would throw a blanket over a patient during a disaster.” According to Scott, this training shows actual performance, not just knowledge of disaster medicine. The need for training such as this is great. South Carolina was given a grade “C” for disaster preparedness by
