MARYLAND RISING The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy’s Expertise, Influence, and Impact
In 2010, the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy cut the ribbon to Pharmacy Hall Addition, ushering in a new era of expansion. That same year, we launched a new strategic plan that would guide the School through the next five years. The role of pharmacy and the pharmacist in health care is evolving, and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy remains at the forefront of the evolution, anticipating the needs of the profession and developing academic, research, and practice programs that are innovative and proactive. Five years later, we reflect on the tremendous growth that has taken place in each of our strategic areas: education, practice, research, entrepreneurship, and environment.

ENVIRONMENT
For the last 10 years or so, pharmacists have been more involved in patient-directed care. We have incorporated into our academic programs more experiences where students are interacting with patients. These include programs where students are tested on their ability to effectively communicate, provide care, and be clear in their interaction with patients in a culturally sensitive manner. — DEAN NATALIE D. EDDINGTON, PHD ’89, BSP, FAAPS, FCP

Residency programs are growing in popularity as pharmacy students seek training to help them obtain more specialized roles within the health system setting. The School of Pharmacy, in partnership with the University of Maryland Medical Center, is home to 16 ASHP-accredited PGY1 and PGY2 residencies and fellowships.
The PharmD program has been offered at the Universities at Shady Grove campus in Rockville, Md., since 2007. A quarter of all of the School’s PharmD graduates are trained at Shady Grove.

FOCUS ON INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
2013
Interprofessional education (IPE) remains a priority at the School of Pharmacy. In Maryland and nationally, pharmacists have an increasing role on health care teams due to the Affordable Care Act and their ability to serve the complex needs of diverse patient populations The School joined the Universitywide Center for IPE, with Heather Congdon, PharmD, BCPS, CDE, associate professor of pharmacy practice and science and assistant dean for Shady Grove, as its co-director. Each year, students, faculty, and staff from across the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) gather for UMB’s annual IPE Day. During the event, faculty and students work in teams on realistic and complex patient scenarios.
25% of the School’s students and faculty have
participated in IPE Day each year since its launch. Participation will soon be a requirement for all second-year PharmD students.
An increasing number of School of Pharmacy faculty are pursuing IPE collaborations such as team teaching and developing course material with someone affiliated with another University System of Maryland (USM) institution, going from 23 percent in 2010 to 38 percent in 2014
The School of Pharmacy and its practice partners are working with Prince George’s County in Maryland, a traditionally underserved community, to develop an interprofessional team-based care model of NPs and PharmDs to manage the high incident of chronic diseases in this patient population. summ e r 201 5

PRACTICE As a leader in pharmacy practice, the School of Pharmacy improves the health of people through innovation, collaboration, and advocacy. Faculty provide specialized pharmacy services at a wide range of locations, including outpatient clinics, hospital units, mental health institutions, skilled nursing care facilities, community pharmacies, and academic health science centers. These practitioners have pioneered new roles for pharmacists in advanced clinical practice by supporting and teaching patients, students, residents, and health care practitioners regarding the best use of medicines. Innovative programs developed at the School of Pharmacy have taken root and grown throughout the state because they work — empowering patients while improving clinical outcomes, decreasing costs, and enhancing continuity of care.

P3 EXPANSION
The Maryland Patients, Pharmacists, Partnerships (P3) Program, begun in 2006 and directed by Magaly Rodriguez de Bittner, PharmD, professor of pharmacy practice and science, is an important model of the power of community partnerships. Through the program, specially trained pharmacist coaches apply a model of care that provides step-by-step guidance in medication adherence, lifestyle changes, and self-care skills. Among its accomplishments over the last five years: EXPANSION TO MARYLAND, GEORGIA, TEXAS, VIRGINIA, LOUISIANA, AND CALIFORNIA

RESEARCH The FDA has carved out funding for research projects that address issues they’re seeing in the use of medication. The results of those studies led to the FDA developing guidances that pharmaceutical companies and regulators use to sell drugs. The School of Pharmacy has been involved in a number of FDA grants focusing on clinical studies related to generic drugs and drug delivery. — DEAN NATALIE D. EDDINGTON, PHD ’89, BSP, FAAPS, FCP
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
THE PETER LAMY CENTER FOR DRUG THERAPY AND AGING
The School of Pharmacy is pursuing a partnership with Hospital 57357, a pediatric cancer hospital in Cairo, Egypt, to work with its leaders and those from the affiliated Health Sciences Academy to develop training, education, research, and practice opportunities for its pharmacists and researchers.
The Peter Lamy Center for Drug Therapy and Aging aims to improve drug therapy for aging adults; produce new scientific knowledge with practical applications for improving the outcomes of pharmaceutical care for older adults; and provide information on best practices in geriatric pharmacotherapy.
In May 2015, UMB signed a MOU with Ajou University in South Korea on behalf of the School of Pharmacy to promote areas of mutual interest in faculty exchange, joint research, and drug development and drug harmonization activities.
Producing nearly 150 peer-reviewed publications in the last five years, the Lamy Center has established a national reputation for high-quality research, particularly in the areas of Medicare drug policy, nursing home pharmacy, and medication quality and adherence in elderly patients with chronic disease. Funding totaled more than

JOB READINESS INITIATIVES
School of Pharmacy students have always been well-prepared to apply the skills they’ve learned in the classroom and the laboratory to postgraduate jobs in the workforce. But with the stubborn recession that descended on the American workforce in 2008 came a much tighter job market, including in the pharmacy profession.
2011
JOB READY PROGRAM LAUNCHED
We’ve had an explosion of new schools of pharmacy and
Job readiness activities include resume and CV writing workshops, mock interviewing sessions with alumni, internship, residency and career fairs, research career roundtables, visits to industry, and more.
More than 1,500 students participated in almost 60 events from 2012 to 2014.
with that there has been a decrease in the total number of pharmacy positions around the country. We thought it was important to develop a program focused on career development and professionalism skills. — DEAN NATALIE D. EDDINGTON, PHD ’89, BSP, FAAPS, FCP
