SPRING UPDATES In an effort to assist you, we would like to make sure our students are better prepared before beginning their rotations at your site. If you have any site-specific requirements such as flu shots, drug testing, HIPAA training, orientation, etc., please let us know and we will add this information to your site’s profile. Also, if you have another pharmacist at your site who would like to be listed as a preceptor, please forward their contact information to Kathy Zember Katherine.zember@utoledo.edu or Karen Mockensturm Karen.mockensturm@utoledo.edu, and we will be happy to add them to your site details.

Meds & Terms All students are studying commonly prescribed medications in each of these therapeutic areas in the spring semester. For this upcoming year, we will be expanding the information we require of P1 students and will also be introducing them to questions they may encounter in pharmacy.

UT SNPhA AT REGIONALS

By Prerak Parikh, P4 The University of Toledo SNPhA chapter represented with great enthusiasm at the SNPhA (Student National Pharmaceutical Organization) regional meeting in Columbus on March 14th and 15th. A total of 14 pharmacy students, ranging from P1 to P4, attended this meeting, participated in competitions, networked with other pharmacy students, worked with other schools to pass resolutions and represented UT-CPPS in the best possible manner.

Niyati Kadia (P4) and Shewit Ghidey (P3) won third place in the Kroger Clinical Skills Competition in which 19 teams from pharmacy schools all over the United States participated. In order to mimic real life situations, this clinical skills competition was about counseling a patient in just 5 minutes. The key to UT-CPPS students winning such competitions is the knowledge and skill they have gained from doing a variety of activities during P2 and P3 PPD labs.

A team from UT SNPhA, led by Hanin Chouman (P2) and Chris Jeric (P3), came up with a plan to help the community as a part of the Wal-Mart Prescription for Service Competition. They were

announced as the SNPhA Region 3 winners at the regional meeting who will now execute the plan with the provided funding ($2,500) and continue to compete with four other teams at the National level. This depicts the passion of UT’s pharmacy students of giving back to the community.

Nicole Fabiilli (P1) participated in the business sessions as a delegate and worked with other student pharmacists, to pass resolutions which have the potential to bring positive changes in the pharmacy world. Her ideas and confidence were appreciated at the meeting. Idris Yakubu (P4), being a national SNPhA leader, played a huge role in organizing such an amazing conference and encouraging pharmacy students at UT-CPPS to attend the regional meeting. Thus, UT SNPhA’s achievements at the regional conference will continue to inspire future leaders and motivate pharmacy students to participate in such regional and national meetings.

Eighth Annual Faculty-Staff Auction This year’s Faculty-Staff Auction, sponsored by Alpha Zeta Omega pharmacy fraternity, was another success. The auction, which consisted of over twenty items, along with generous donations from Hometown Pharmacy and UT alumna Susan Middendorf, raised over $8,000. All the proceeds go toward purchasing medical supplies and medications for the mission trips to Honduras and Guatemala.

In March 2014, APPE students Sarah Tegowski and Matthew Lengel were accompanied Dr. Diane Cappelletty and Dr. Richard Paat along with medical students, physician assistants and nurse practitioners on the medical mission to Honduras (photos below). Also, in July 2013, students Kyle Rako and Abigail Rabatin were able to accompany Jessica Pukulski and Dr. Paat on their medical mssion to Guatemala.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Special thanks go to Dr. Vince Mauro, who serves annually as our auctioneer and brings laughter to all who attend.

During my Institutional IPPE Experience, my preceptor allowed me to work alongside an anesthesiologist in the surgery department. Here I was able to see a port insertion, a tumor removal, and a hysterectomy done by a da Vinci® robot system. I was also able to see the different medications used for different types of surgeries, depending on the amount of sedation required. It was a different experience from what I was expecting. They also allowed me to attend safety meetings with nursing and other staff. Having previously worked in a hospital for almost four years, I was worried that I wouldn't get as much out of my institutional experience. These experiences made it interesting and made me think about different aspects of the hospital pharmacy that I hadn’t experienced before.

APhA Faculty/Alumni/Staff versus Student Basketball game On February 7, 2014, faculty, students, staff and alumni met on the basketball court to benefit the Miracle League of Toledo. The Miracle League is a special needs baseball league in which participants have a specially designed field that allows for walking, running, wheelchairs, walkers, etc.

The Game, a true nail biter, was won in the last 14 seconds by the students with the final score being Students 47 - Faculty 48. The Miracle League was the true winner, as donations from ticket sales, the 50/50 drawing, and t-shirt sales were all raised for the benefit of the Miracle League.
