Why the heck are these students wearing a scarf on what look like perfectly warm days?

About fi ve years ago, we began sending newly accepted pharmacy students a Maize and Blue scarf and told them to wrap themselves in Michigan! We also asked them to take a meaningful picture – we then share these photos at orientation as the pictured student describes the shot.

Our students, faculty, and staff come from all over to create one great College of Pharmacy. This publication highlights the people who drive the education, research, and service missions of Michigan Pharmacy.

We invite you to “wrap yourself in Michigan” and see how the College’s people are making a difference.

VISION STATEMENTWe will revolutionize pharmacy practice and healthcare through interdisciplinary education and research.

MISSION STATEMENTOur mission is to educate and inspire a diverse group of future pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists to be leaders, advance patient care, and improve health for all. We seek to create, disseminate, and apply new knowledge that endows our graduates with the skills, abilities, behaviors, and attitudes necessary to apply the foundational sciences to the provision of inter-professional patient-centered care, management of medication use systems, advocacy of population health and wellness, and collaborative discovery and implementation of solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s healthcare problems.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

The College of Pharmacy announced a new residential pre-pharmacy summer program, called

the Pharmacy Scholars Program (PSP) in February 2018. This six-week program aims to prepare students to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT), confi dently manage the interview process, and introduces them to faculty and administrators at the College. It also exposes participants to the variety of career options available to those with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. PSP is modeled after its sister program, Profi le for Success at the U-M School of Dentistry.

“Students who participate in PSP will have the opportunity to build their academic and professional skill sets and their understanding of the broad fi eld that is pharmacy,” explains Regina McClinton, PhD, the

College’s chief diversity, equity, and inclusion offi cer. “The program will help students feel confi dent when applying to and interviewing for pharmacy school. We also hope that participants recognize that you’ll fi nd no better opportunity or preparation for success as a PharmD candidate than at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy.”

The annual program, which is free to all participants, was held for the fi rst time May 20-June 28, 2018. Six students, from as near as Flint, MI, and as far away as Ponce, Puerto Rico, were admitted into the inaugural cohort.

“The students enjoyed all aspects of the program, particularly the hands-on exercises such as calculations and compounding,” explains Dr. McClinton. “They learned that with the College’s new tuition structure, our tuition

is lower than those of other schools they may be considering. One student shared this information with her family, who were so impressed that they are planning a trip to tour Michigan.”

Several students expressed that they had not previously considered attending Michigan for pharmacy school. “They saw the University as a very large institution and assumed it would be impersonal and that they would get lost in the system,” notes Dr. McClinton. “But they now see the College of Pharmacy as a community committed to each student.”

The PSP students met with College alumni, including Matt Perez, PharmD’13, and Norris Turner, PharmD’90, both of whom traveled to Ann Arbor to mentor the students in person, and Lydia Benitez, PharmD’14,

U-M Pharmacy Launches Residential Pre-Pharmacy Summer Program, Welcomes Inaugural Cohort

“I didn’t think I could come to Michigan before this program, but now I am applying for pharmacy school,”

- Johanna Mendoza, member of the inaugural PSP cohort

who phoned in from Kentucky. In a session with alumni Barima Opong-Owosu, PharmD’11, Tiffany Porter, PharmD’12, Regine White, PharmD’04, and Omonye Phillips, PharmD’11, the students learned the value of attending a large, prestigious institution and how it can support a variety of career paths. And in a session with the Detroit Pharmacist Guild, whose members include Derrick Jackson, BSPharm’80, Kimberly Jordan, PharmD’89, and Kiela Samuels, PharmD’87, the students gained insight on fi nancial literacy and staying focused on long-term goals.

PSP is open to college juniors, seniors, recent college graduates, and individuals making a career transition who are on track to enter pharmacy school the academic year

following their participation. Applicants should self-identify as educationally, socially, or economically disadvantaged or demonstrate a commitment to serve under-served populations within the United States.

“Sepsis Heroes” Start Interprofessional Clinic Aimed at Keeping ICU Patients Healthy after Discharge

FACULTY

Recovery does not end when a patient is discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). Rima Mohammad, PharmD, clinical associate professor of pharmacy

and clinical pharmacist, Michigan Medicine, explains that many ICU patients experience cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms after they come home from the hospital, and may lack adequate follow-up care putting them at risk for hospital re-admission. To address this gap in care, Dr. Mohammad and other clinicians with the University of Michigan have established a new clinic to help these patients get timely and thorough follow-up care.

The University of Michigan Post ICU Longitudinal Survivor Experience Clinic (U-M PULSE) takes a holistic, multidisciplinary approach – a social worker, physician, and clinical pharmacist work collaboratively to address a range of patient needs.

“Each specialist in the clinic knows how to handle the particular needs of patients recently released from the ICU,” says Dr. Mohammad. “Improving patient care is our main goal. However, caregivers also need support after a critically ill family member or friend is released from the hospital; we try to address their needs and concerns in addition to patients’.” Pharmacists contribute expertise in the areas of medication management and reconciliation, disease management, patient counseling, and collaborate with social workers on drug costs.

During their initial visit to the clinic, patients work with a pharmacist, social worker, and physician to address their medical, mental and physical health needs. Patients and caregivers fi ll out a survey intended to evaluate the impact of their illness on their caregivers and their own quality of life. Patients meet with a pharmacist for a comprehensive medication review; Dr. Mohammad pays particular attention to medication changes made during the

hospitalization and medications that may no longer be needed or inappropriate. Patients also see a social worker to review the surveys and receive cognitive testing. Mari Pitcher, licensed clinical social worker and adjunct lecturer at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, specializes in post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Ms. Pitcher performs a comprehensive assessment of each patient, including evaluation of cognitive function, support systems, mental health, and employment/fi nancial status. Caregivers are welcome to participate in the social work consultation. The visit concludes with a physical clinical evaluation and medical review.

All clinicians meet to discuss their respective exams and recommended follow-up care. Additional providers, including a dietitian and spiritual care specialist are available for consultation in the clinic. The team then sees the patient to outline the care plan and help facilitate any referrals. The U-M PULSE team’s care does not end after the initial

patient visit: a six-month follow-up visit is scheduled, or virtual check-ins can take place sooner if necessary.

U-M PULSE, which opened in March 2018 in the Michigan Medicine Taubman Center, is one of just a few such clinics in the country. Its services are available to those who have recently stayed in a Michigan Medicine ICU, or elsewhere. Ideally, a patient does not wait long to pursue the clinic’s services following ICU discharge.

The new clinic builds upon established Michigan Medicine research, which explored proper post-discharge follow-up care guidelines for sepsis survivors. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1.5 million people get sepsis each year in the United States, with 250,000 of those dying from the infection.

“While we will defi nitely treat patients recovering from other critical illnesses, sepsis appears to be one illness we expect many

of our patients to be recovering from,” says Jakob McSparron, MD, clinical director of the PULSE Clinic.

For their efforts, the Sepsis Alliance has recognized the U-M Pulse Team as Sepsis Heroes. The award honors the team for their innovative efforts to improve the care of sepsis survivors. They received the award during the Sepsis Alliance’s annual fundraising gala on September 13, 2018 in New York City, which coincided with World Sepsis Day.

Patients do not need a referral to be seen at the clinic. To schedule an appointment with U-M PULSE, call 734-647-9342 and request an appointment with Dr. McSparron.

The University of Michigan Post ICU Longitudinal Survivor Experience Clinic (U-M PULSE) provides a one-stop shop for patients discharged from an intensive care unit.

ALUMNI LEADERSHIP

Jay Carter, BSPharm’81, has been named 2018 recipient of the Distinguished Alumni

Lifetime Achievement Award from the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. Mr. Carter is the executive vice president and director of business development at AbelsonTaylor, a healthcare advertising agency. The Alumni Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award was established in 1976 to honor alumni who have made signifi cant lifetime contributions to their professions or society through practice, research, education or public service. Mr. Carter is recognized for his professional achievements, expansion of career opportunities for pharmacists, and commitment to mentoring future leaders.

“Jay pursued a nontraditional path and is a prototype for pharmacists excelling in healthcare innovation,” said Dr. James Dalton, dean of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. “His work in medical advertising helped open the door to

a new career option for pharmacists, which made him a standout candidate for our Distinguished Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award.” Dean Dalton noted that another factor in Carter’s selection was his dedication to helping others succeed. “We were impressed by Jay’s long-time support of the Girl Scouts, by the mentoring he provides within his industry, and by the way he generously shares his knowledge and experience with current pharmacy students seeking career guidance.”

Mr. Carter accepted the Distinguished Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award with praise for the quality of education he received at his alma mater.

Jay Carter Receives 2018 Distinguished Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award

“The knowledge I acquired at Michigan has helped me at every stage of my career,” he said. “I have the privilege of working with companies that have revolutionized patient care by developing treatments that extend and improve the quality of people’s lives. Understanding the science behind drug therapies and always focusing on the patient are things I fi rst learned in my pharmacy studies. It was excellent training for a career in medical advertising.”

Mr. Carter joined AbelsonTaylor three decades ago as an account supervisor, quickly rising through the ranks and contributing signifi cantly to the agency’s growth and reputation. He has worked on some of the most successful and iconic campaigns in medical advertising history, including the Hytrin “Balloon” campaign, Biaxin “Bix the Bulldog” campaign, and Prevacid “Tummy” launch. With a career spanning numerous advances in medicine and technology, Mr. Carter has provided senior counsel on a wide

range of products, including several major biologics for cancer treatment. Building on his strong management skills, he progressively assumed lead responsibility for client services and strategy at AbelsonTaylor, becoming the agency’s director of business development in 2010.

Beyond his career achievements, Mr. Carter is a committed mentor to colleagues and students and a trusted adviser to members of organizations he supports. He is particularly invested in his work with the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana, whose board he joined in 2013. “I support Girl Scouting because it has made an enormous difference in the life of my daughter,” he explained. “I am passionate about making sure that girls in Northern Indiana and in my home state of Michigan have the opportunity to take part in an organization that truly prepares girls to be leaders of the future.” In addition to his work with Girl Scouts, Mr. Carter serves on the boards of the Medical Advertising

Hall of Fame and the Coalition for Healthcare Communications.

After graduating from the College of Pharmacy in 1981, Mr. Carter earned an MBA with honors from the University of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business in 1983. He worked briefl y as a pharmaceutical sales representative before beginning his career in medical advertising, fi rst at William Douglas McAdams in New York, then at AbelsonTaylor in Chicago. Outside of work, Mr. Carter spends as much time as possible at his Michigan lake home with his wife, 15-year-old daughter, and the family dogs. He also adds to his extensive collection of wines, cheers for both the University of Michigan and Notre Dame, and maintains undying loyalty to the Detroit Tigers. Since 2014, he has served as a deacon at Lakeshore Christian Church in Stevensville, MI. Mr. Carter was born and raised in Berrien Springs, MI, which he still calls home.

“The knowledge I acquired at Michigan has helped me at every stage of my career.”

2018 Alumni Service Award in Pharmacy Presented to Miriam Mobley Smith

Miriam Mobley Smith, BSPharm’78, PharmD, FASHP, has been honored with the 2018 Alumni Service Award in Pharmacy. This award recognizes graduates

of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy who have made signifi cant contributions to the profession of pharmacy.

Dr. Mobley Smith received her BS in Pharmacy from the University of Michigan in 1978. She went on to earn her PharmD from the University of Illinois and completed a pharmacy practice residency at Sinai Hospital of Detroit.

“The outstanding reputation enjoyed by the College is in large part a refl ection of the individual reputations and accomplishments of our alumni,” said James Dalton, PhD, Dean of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. “Dr. Mobley Smith exemplifi es the Michigan legacy of excellence, service, and leadership.”

Dr. Mobley Smith is currently an independent pharmacy and healthcare consultant. She has held numerous leadership positions during her career, notably serving as the Director of Strategic Alliances for the Pharmacy Technician Certifi cation Board in Washington, D.C. She spent twelve years as a clinical faculty member and eventually the Director of Experiential Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Pharmacy. Dr. Mobley Smith spent eight years at the Chicago State University College

of Pharmacy, ultimately serving as Dean until her departure in 2015. She has also served leadership positions in numerous professional pharmacy organizations. She was chair for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Professional Affairs Committee, vice-chair of the Illinois State Board of Pharmacy, chair of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Council on Education and Workforce Development, a member of the Institute of Medicine Committee on the Future Healthcare Workforce for Older Americans, Pharmacy Workforce Center, Inc., Technical Advisory Panel, and on the Professional Examination Service Board of Directors.

Dr. Mobley Smith has received numerous grants, professional and civic awards, including recognition as a 2013 Fellow of the American

Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the 2012 National Pharmaceutical Association’s Chauncey I. Cooper Award in recognition of sustained and distinguished professional service, and the 2013 Illinois Pharmacists Association Pharmacist of the Year.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Patricia Bell Williams,BSPharm’68, carefully smooths out the soft creases in the front of her robe. She takes great care as she tucks the pleats into place, and with good reason. The academic regalia she is donning for the emeritus commencement ceremony was originally worn by her grandmother over 100 years ago. Pat is upholding a family tradition; she is a member of a long line of Michigan women to wear these robes as they walk across the stage to receive their U-M diploma.

Pat is back in Ann Arbor to mark 50 years since she earned her degree from the College of Pharmacy. In the intervening years, she has enjoyed a successful career.

“The gown was fi rst worn by my grandmother, Maude Evelyn Talbott, on her graduation day in June 1913,” says Pat. “In those

days, caps and gowns were worn three days a week for about six weeks prior to graduation after ‘Swing Out’, a formal event celebrating the fi rst time a graduating class would be seen in their cap and gown.” Maude majored in English Literature and worked as an English and German teacher.

Her daughter, Letitia Lingle Bell, wore the gown when she graduated from U-M with an undergraduate degree in Physical Therapy in 1952 and again in 1954 when she received her certifi cate in Physical Therapy. “As I recall, she was in the fi rst, or one of the fi rst, physical therapy classes at U-M,” notes Pat. “The family lore is that she started out in pre-med but was diagnosed with a heart murmur. At that time, she was considered ‘too delicate’ for the rigors of medical school and transitioned to physical therapy.

She practiced physical therapy for over 50 years….so much for ‘too delicate!’”

After a long hiatus, Pat wore the gown when she graduated from the U-M College Pharmacy in 1968 and when she earned a PhD in Pharmacology from Medical College of Virginia (now part of Virginia Commonwealth University) in 1972. “At that time, my PhD advisor presented me with the hood as a graduation gift,” says Pat.

“I joined the newly formed Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA as one of their fi rst faculty members,” explains Pat. “The fi rst class of 24 medical students graduated in 1973; I wore the cap, gown and hood at that and subsequent graduations until 2013, when I retired. From 1979-1993, I served as the Associate Marshal for graduation and from 1994 to 2013 served as the Chief Marshal, who organized and presided over the graduation ceremonies. By 2013 we had almost 300 graduates from 8 programs ranging from MS in art therapy to PA to MD to PhD.”

“Both of my children ‘borrowed’ the gown for their college

graduation. Casey Ruth Williams graduated from the University of Virginia in 1998 with a BS in environmental sciences and in 2004 with a Master’s degree in landscape architecture/urban planning. My son, Boyden Williams, broke the gender barrier and wore the gown when he graduated from Virginia Tech in 2000 with a degree in mechanical engineering.”

After the emeritus commencement ceremony, Pat wandered around campus, exploring her old haunts. “I came across a group of young women taking pictures at the brass M in the Diag and asked one if she would take my picture,” says Pat. “After mentioning the 50th

anniversary, next thing I knew they were all joining me in the picture! I stayed awhile, learning about them and their plans. That is the true Michigan spirit, it made my day.”

Pat’s family traditional reminds us all what it means to be a Wolverine. Michigan Wolverines are always connected back to that place you once called home and to the people who are forever known as the leaders and best. Wherever life takes you, you are never far away from your esteemed alma mater and each other.

Dean’s Advisory Committee

The Dean’s Advisory Committee

meets annually to help the

College leadership assess the

overall strategic direction of the

College and to act as a sounding

board for potential future plans.

Additionally, this committee serves

as the College’s Campaign Steering

Committee when the University is

actively in a fundraising campaign.


Over the years, generous gifts to the College created funds that will provide support in perpetuity to students, faculty, and the College in general. Contributions can still be made directly to these funds.

This honor roll is our small way to thank publicly the donors supporting the This honor roll is our small way to thank publicly the donors supporting the TCollege’s mission last fi scal year.

Through the end of FY2018, we reached $22,623,003 against the College’s Victors for Michigan campaign goal of $20,000,000. Nearly 2,100 donors (alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations) helped us achieve this remarkable goal. We are very grateful to everyone.

To put this in perspective – 30 new endowments were created at the College that are already generating nearly $350,000 annually to support scholarships, fellowships, faculty, and research. There is one gift of particular note: Larry, PhD’81, and Ann Hsu donated $2.5 million to create a professorship in their name. Throughout the honor roll, you will read about other professorships and their importance.

We are especially grateful to a particular group. The Dean’s Advisory Committee (see page 33) serves as our steering committee for the campaign. These men and women provided guidance, opened doors, and were personally philanthropic. Providing overall leadership was our campaign chair, Dinesh Patel, PhD’79, and our honorary campaign chairs Fred, BSPharm’57, and Dee, AB’57, Lyons.

Thanks to everyone who helped us succeed. While there will always be another campaign around the corner, we want to make sure we celebrate our own Victors for Michigan.

Dr. Peter M. TessierAlbert M. Mattocks Professor of Pharmaceutical SciencesMost of the best-selling drugs today are large proteins (monoclonal antibodies) that hold great potential for treating cancer, neurogenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. Nevertheless, there are many unmet needs in developing these molecules into safe and effective drugs. My lab aims to improve the antibody drug discovery and development process by developing experimental and computational technologies that can be used to generate antibodies with drug-like properties and increased likelihood of success in clinical trials.

Dr. Karen B FarrisCharles R. Walgreen III Professor of Pharmacy AdministrationChair, Department of Clinical Pharmacy, College of PharmacyMy work continues to focus on medication adherence and how technology and/or improved healthcare practices impact it. My most recent work is with the Michigan Oncology Quality Consortium, where we increased the number of medical oncology practices in Michigan that assessed medication adherence to oral oncolytics. Using a one-item question to gauge adherence is a critical step in care. We now use many oral treatments and clinicians have to support our patients in their self-management. 4746

My laboratory has developed a unique library of compounds and extracts that have been screened against numerous disease targets relating to cancer, microbial pathogens, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and human parasites. My work includes genomic analysis of the microorganisms that generate natural products in an effort to understand their biochemical assembly, structural diversifi cation and modes of self-resistance.

Dr. James MoonJohn Gideon Searle Associate ProfessorMy research group aims to develop novel therapeutics at the interface of immunology and pharmaceutics. Our translational research focuses on developing drug delivery systems that can enhance delivery of antigens and adjuvants to lymphoid organs and manipulate immune functions in the context of cancer immunotherapy and vaccines against infectious pathogens.
