Welcome to Kate G. Moore, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP
Executive Director of Experiential Education The Office of Experiential Education has a new face! Following a national search, Dr. Kate G. Moore has been chosen as the Executive Director of Experiential Education. Kate is a graduate of the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy and completed a PGY-1 residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and a PGY-2 in Ambulatory Care at UNC Hospitals. Prior to becoming Executive Director, she was a full-time faculty member at PCSP, teaching both in the classroom and in the experiential program. Her area of emphasis is ambulatory care and her most recent practice site was with an Internal Medicine physician group owned by Spartanburg Regional where she provided a diabetes and chronic care management service. Kate lives in Spartanburg with her husband, Joe, and two daughters Sadie, age 2, and Audrey, age 3 months.
Why did you choose to go into experiential education? I chose to go into experiential education because my favorite teaching moments have come from facilitating student learning on rotations. I love to see students make the connection between classroom learning and patient care and see that the impact they can have on a patient’s life. Stepping away from clinical practice was a difficult decision. However, in this position I hope to be able to facilitate that connection on a larger scale for all of our students.
What are you looking forward to this year? This year will be an exciting one as I travel and meet many preceptors and explore how we can partner together to enhance the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of our future pharmacists. I will be working hard with many of you to ensure standardization across our required APPEs to meet ACPE standards in addition to enhancing our evaluation process. Thank you all in advance for being a critical piece in preparing our future pharmacists and colleagues.

Preceptor Spotlight: CDR Misti Houck, PharmD, BCPS, NCPS, USPHS Chief Pharmacist, Catawba Service Unit, Nashville Area IHS Rock Hill, SC
CDR Misti Houck (Chief Pharmacist), LCDR Cynthia Chennault (Dental Hygienist), LCDR William Freiberg (Clinical Pharmacist)
Misti graduated from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Sciences and graduated from Samford University, McWhorter School of Pharmacy (MSOP) in Birmingham, AL in 2007. In 2008, she completed an ASHP accredited Pharmacy Practice Residency with the Indian Health Service at Whiteriver Indian Hospital in Whiteriver, AZ. At that time, she joined the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and is a Commissioned Officer. In 2012, she moved to Catawba Service Unit in Rock Hill, SC as the Clinical Pharmacist, then became the Chief Pharmacist in 2015 and holds this position currently.

1. What are the most difficult aspects of being a preceptor? And how do you overcome these barriers? The most difficult part of being a preceptor is balancing time spent with students along with day-today pharmacy duties and administrative duties. Working as the Chief Pharmacist at a 2 pharmacist site, I staff and perform clinical duties on a daily basis while continuing to maintain administrative duties such as quarterly reports, staff evaluations, and pharmacy ordering and inventory management, just to name a few. I balance these pharmacy duties with my duties as a preceptor by spending more time with students during the first part of their rotation. When I observe that the student is ready to increase their degree of independence, I will allow the student to have more freedom to counsel patients or work with other members of the healthcare team.
2. What do you value most about being a preceptor? I love precepting students and being able to teach others about clinical pharmacy practice and patient care. However, what I value most about being a preceptor is the knowledge I gain from each student I precept. The student pharmacists I have precepted are excited to learn, eager to take on projects, and enjoy interaction with both patients and members of the healthcare team. This encourages me on a daily basis to stay focused on the patient care aspect of pharmacy as well as to stay positive toward those with which I interact daily. 3. How do you judge a student's success on your rotation? I judge a student’s success on this Ambulatory rotation by the progress each individual student makes from beginning to end of the rotation. Patient counseling is a large part of this rotation, so I also focus on the student’s counseling skills, therapeutic drug knowledge, and patient interactions.
“At the Catawba Service Unit, we offer an Ambulatory Care APPE with a focus on the underserved, as well as a focus on government pharmacy. The Catawba Service Unit is an Indian Health Service facility. Our pharmacy is located on site with our medical and dental clinics. During this rotation, students have the opportunity to interact not only with patients and members of the pharmacy staff, but also with members of the medical staff, the nutritionist/CDE, the community health nurse, and the dental hygienist.”

Student Spotlight: Rima Ray Rima is a current P3 student from Spartanburg, South Carolina. She has worked as an intern at Ingles pharmacy for the past 3 years. She plans on pursuing a career in retail pharmacy. She is currently a Student Ambassador for admissions and the treasurer for Student Society of Health System Pharmacy (SSHP).
1. What has been your most valuable rotation so far and why? The most valuable rotation I had so far was Providence Hospital in Columbia. I was able to watch a coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It was great experience for me because we were learning about CABG in the cardiovascular Medication Therapy Management class and it was very interesting to see how the whole procedure works. I was also able to see how the doctor reads it and see if patient has any kind of conditions going on. I was also able to do some real-life vancomycin dosing for some of the patients. Furthermore, this rotation was great experience because I had opportunity to see firsthand of what is expected of nurses also not just a pharmacist. Everyone worked together and it allowed the entire health professional team to work on the end goal of treating the patient. 2. How do you balance the demands of your rotations with your school work? I balance the demands of my rotations with my school work by being organized. I keep an agenda, in which I write down everything I need to do. It not only helps me prioritize what I have to do, but at same time helps me finish everything on the deadline and allows me to keep up with school work and my rotation work at same time. 3. What is something you have learned about yourself on rotation? I have learned lot about myself while being on all my rotations. I can apply the knowledge I developed in class to real life situations. I also learned that I am a great team leader and I work better in group then I do alone. Furthermore, I also believe that success is the reward of hard work. Going on rotations have allowed me to see pharmacists at work allowing me to see that the hard work of school will be worth it in the end.

Alumni Spotlight:
Samantha Hill, PharmD Pharmacist, Palmetto Health Baptist Parkridge, Columbia, SC
Class of 2015 graduates with Dr. David Eagerton Lauren Linder, Kayla Lewis, Joann Metropol, Samantha Hill
Samantha graduated from PCSP in May of 2015. She is currently a clinical/staff pharmacist at Palmetto Health Baptist Parkridge (fulltime) and Newberry County Memorial Hospital (PRN). She serves as preceptor for IPPE students. Samantha lives in Little Mountain, SC.
1. What have been the most difficult parts of being a new practitioner? And what do you do to overcome these barriers? As a new practitioner, the most difficult thing for me was realizing that the last verification step stopped with my approval. While working as a technician before and throughout pharmacy school, I had always had the comfort that someone would be checking behind me. Even after graduation, as a grad-intern, more responsibility was laid upon me, but I still had that “security blanket”. The first day on the job was intimidating, knowing I had the last say. Each day has brought more confidence because I realized that the last four years of my life have been dedicated to this moment. 2. What rotation experiences inspired your current career? Throughout pharmacy school I was able to experience many different rotations, some good and some bad. Regardless of the situation, I tried to carry a positive attitude and learn something from each rotation. I had the opportunity to experience several different institutional rotations throughout the years, which ultimately led me to current position. I found that in a hospital/clinical setting, a pharmacist is able to utilize expertise of drug interactions, therapy monitoring, and safety management.
3. Describe one of your favorite moments in patient care One of my favorite moments thus far has involved a patient that simply told me that they appreciated my hard work. After completing medication reconciliation for this patient and returning to answer a few questions, this patient asked me to come see her before I left for the weekend. Upon my arrival to her room, she thanked me for listening to her and helping get all her medications straight. That moment reminded me why I pursued the profession of pharmacy.
