ANNUAL REPORT a newsletter to our College of Pharmacy students, staff, faculty, affiliates, alumni and friends
FROM THE DEAN’S DESK Greetings! This past year has been a tremendous joy and success. One-hundred percent of 2013 Belmont Spring graduates taking the NAPLEX passed on their first attempt. Student accomplishments and community service continued at an exceptional pace. Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Chi both hosted regional conferences in Nashville and both were a great success. At the inaugural Apothecary Ball several of our student organizations collaborated and created a meaningful and festive event, celebrating many of the year’s accomplishments. Many members of our student body and faculty were recognized for their exemplary leadership. Our faculty accomplishments, both on-campus and off, have been excellent, as evidenced by the scholarship listing at the back of this document. In January, we witnessed our sixth class of student pharmacists don their white coats and take their oath to protect the public and professionally pursue their pharmacy career. In February, the College completed a focused review by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, and received a very strong and complimentary report. Our lobby in McWhorter Hall has been enhanced with seating and work spaces. Our community pharmacy has continued to grow and has been successful. In October, the College received approval to serve as a provider of pharmacy Continuing Education, which gives us the means to provide regular programming for our alumni, our affiliate faculty and our full time faculty. The Tennessee legislature has passed new provider-ship wording for the state pharmacy practice act, which will create new opportunities and jobs. On May 3, 71 students graduated, comprising the Class of 2014. In the summer of 2014 we turn our attention to the future years, and will be matriculating our seventh class. As we do so, we must pause and thank all alumni who have participated in our programming, and those who teach. Without you we would not be able to have such success. Sincerely,
Philip E. Johnston, Pharm.D. Dean, College of Pharmacy

HIDDEN HEART To stargaze is to peer into the past; can I glimpse Our future with your shining smitten, star? These bodies rust, and then the last eclipse . . . If only one of us survives senescence, You must unfasten, grasp my hidden heart And know it quickens only in your presence. So go our dandelion dreams adrift In darkness, moonless motion. Can we call It heartless to care so much for few amidst The oceantide of suffering around us all? Our flower the same, but while they wilt we wave With the meadow, forget we wither too with time. Arresting rose, will our emotion fade If I decide to make their burden mine? But think you now of how a man can heal A broken heart by gathering up the pieces A new love can cauterize the creases; His person, his passion, are stronger for the ordeal. My cast-iron heart is brittle but when blown By He who stokes the forge of worldly woes, Expands to hold a community within its rooms. My reforged heart, just like my blossom, blooms. And you, will never lose your beauty, rose. Dr. Ryan Kyle Shelquist, Class of 2014 11 COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

MISSIONS CROSS-CULTURAL LEARNING & SERVICE P4 STUDENT COMPLETES APPE ROTATION IN GUATEMALA CITY In a Guatemalan hotel, 23-year-old Belmont University student Gena Curl carefully unpacked all that she had brought from Nashville. A wave of doubts swept across her mind: “Am I going to be able to do this? I’m by myself in the pharmacy. Can I handle this?” Curl knew no one in this foreign place and barely spoke the local language, but the experience changed her life forever. In October 2013, Curl traveled to Guatemala City as a fourth-year pharmacy student to provide free services at the Moore Pediatric Surgery Center — an opportunity offered by Belmont University’s College of Pharmacy, which partners with the Shalom Foundation and BUCOP Medical Missions. Roughly 25 students go each year to one of two locations: the surgery center in Guatemala City or a clinic on a coffee plantation in Antigua. Both locations are enabled by the Shalom Foundation. The building in Guatemala was remodeled and created as a surgery center by people from Nashville. (Reproduced from March 19, 2014 article in The Tennessean)
COLLEGE OF PHARMACY PARTNERS WITH MOORE PEDATRIC SURGERY CENTER (MPSC) The Belmont College of Pharmacy team is joined by staff from the Moore Pediatric Surgery Center. An 11-member team from Belmont’s College of Pharmacy travelled to Guatemala twice during summer 2013 to provide aid and expertise to the Moore Pediatric Surgery Center (MPSC). Open since March 2011, more than 800 needy children have received free life-altering surgical care from MPSC. The Belmont team returned from its first trip July 8-13 in which it teamed with MPSC to implement the hospital’s first computerized inventory system. During the week-long mission, the seven-person team worked with MPSC leadership to finalize the inventory categorization model and to set coding conventions. In addition, the team purchased and implemented inventory management software, documented and coded more than 750 individual items, created and affixed barcodes to all inventory and determined IT needs to link the new system across multiple computer stations. This inventory system will help to ensure patient safety, assist in MPSC planning and enable donors to better target needed supplies. Follow the Belmont team’s ongoing updates on its Tumblr site or on Facebook. A second team has since returned to Guatemala to continue this medical mission work. Participants on the two trips include faculty members Drs. Eric Hobson and Angela Hagan as well as students Chris Kepinski, Rebecca Yost, Leah Dickerson, Quyen Nguyen, Henry Lim, Erin Todd, Kandice Squires and Allison Sweat. 14 COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

Missions Continued COLLEGE OF PHARMACY LEADS FIRST HEALTH-FOCUSED IMMERSION MISSION TO GUATEMALA The College of Pharmacy partnered with University Ministries for an international spring break immersion trip geared towards health professional and pre-health professions students. The team was comprised of faculty members Drs. Edgar Diaz-Cruz, Eric Hobson, and Elisa Greene and staff member Erin Wikle, in addition to professional medical interpreter and eight undergraduate students with an interest or major in healthcare-related fields. Two fourth-year pharmacy students also participated. Together they provided diabetes, asthma and vision screenings, as well as nutrition, hygiene and first-aid education to migrant workers at Finca la Azotea coffee plantation, in Antigua, Guatemala. Additionally, the team spent one day working with Escuela Proyecto la Esperanza, a non-governmental organization school for underprivileged children assessing height, weight, and vision percentile projections. “The impact we may have had from simply educating the plantation employees may save lives one day. We had a few patients share they had family members who died or had been in danger because they did not know basic first-aid. According to our partner in Guatemala, who initiated and helped organize this trip, many other coffee plantations are now expressing interest in collaborating with Belmont to provide similar services at their locations in the future,” said CO2014 Class President, Jordan Tarter. This established an ongoing partnership in Guatemala directly and complements the College of Pharmacy’s and Belmont’s overall commitment to missions. This is evidenced by the ability of pharmacy and undergraduate students from varied programs to concentrate their experiential learning in missions or public health, if they so choose. It also provides an opportunity to explore interdisciplinary learning and collaboration, as students representing a variety of health and pre-health professional fields combine in one immersion experience.
APPE MEDICAL MISSION TO HAITI A SUCCESS Fourth-year pharmacy student Shaneika Walker and pharmacy faculty member Ashton Beggs recently returned from a one-week medical mission trip to Gobert, Haiti. Walker was selected for this Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) last spring. While in Gobert, Walker and Beggs were in charge of dispensing medications and counseling patients on each medication dispensed. “Working with the Belmont community to help the people of Gobert was a valuable experience for all involved,” Walker said. “The trip was truly an amazing learning experience. For this APPE, I was able to apply pharmacotherapy knowledge from previous coursework while also expanding upon my knowledge of cultural sensitivity in a healthcare setting.” Over 2,300 patients were cared for during this trip, which was organized and planned by St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Franklin, Tenn. St. Matthew’s is affiliated with the Lady of Miracles Catholic Church in Gobert, Haiti through the Catholic Parish Twinning Program. St. Matthew’s serves the community of Gobert with agricultural assistance, livestock initiatives, clean water and medical care. An electronic medical record via iPads was utilized to collect data on this population and track changes in patient health.
