UT College of Pharmacy Nashville Campus
The University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy is pleased to
announce that the University of Tennessee Health Science Center
campus administration has approved the college’s proposal to convert
the Nashville Clinical Education Center to a campus allowing up to 40
of our 175 students to spend the final 3 years of the curriculum in
Nashville, similar to our Knoxville campus. The campus will solidify our
recruitment efforts in middle Tennessee, give the College of Pharmacy
a greater presence in Nashville, and offer students more access to the
sixty plus residencies and employment opportunities in that region of
the state. The Nashville campus was formally announced at our alumni
reception at the Tennessee Pharmacists Association (TPA) Midyear
Meeting on February 23, 2014.
March 2014
To serve as a model for pharmacy education, practice, research, and outreach in Tennessee and beyond

FACULTY
Tillman Meets Parenteral Nutrition Inventor and Plans Marathon
UT College of Pharmacy full time faculty member and nutrition support
pharmacy specialist, Emma Tillman, PharmD, PhD, is determined to not
allow parenteral nutrition slow her down. In 2011, Tillman was diagnosed
with idiopathic gastroparesis and placed on chronic home parenteral
nutrition (HPN). After three years off, and only running two half
marathons, she has decided to run the entire San Francisco Marathon on
July 27, 2014. While attending the American Society for Parenteral and
Enteral Nutrition’s Clinical Nutrition Week, Tillman was introduced to Dr.
Stanley Dudrick, who is credited with the invention of parenteral nutrition
in the 1960s (pictured left). Dr. Dudrick quickly took an interest in
Tillman’s plan, and even helped develop ideas for marathon hydration. “I
was pretty star struck meeting such a big name in our field,” says Tillman,
“but during the conversation he told me I was an inspiration and he knew
I would figure out a way to do the marathon.” As it turns out, she has. An eclipse ball infusion device, which typically
infuses antibiotics, will be used to hydrate her during the race. She will need to replace the ball device every two hours
to maintain hydration. Tillman will be running to benefit the Oley Foundation, devoted to helping those with home
IV’s and tube feedings, and raise awareness for HPN. She is asking other HPN consumers, Oley members, and
caregivers to join her in the race or just cheer her on. If you would like to donate to this fundraiser or learn more
about Dr. Tillman’s story, go to http://www.crowdrise.com/hpnawareness/fundraiser/emmatillman.
Hamilton’s Medical Mission Trip to Haiti
Leslie Hamilton, PharmD, BCPS, assistant professor of Clinical Pharmacy
on the Knoxville campus participated in a medical mission trip to Haiti
from February 1-8, known as Project SHOUT. Project SHOUT, Surgical
Humanitarian Outreach UT, is dedicated to offering medical relief to the
population of Arachaie, Haiti. The 17 member group also included
nurses, physicians, a journalist, and IT support. Dr. Hamilton was
involved in preparing medications, including compounding, preparing IV
admixtures, dispensing, and counseling with the help of translators. As
shown in the pictures, Dr. Hamilton (top photo) served as a crucial
member of the healthcare team (bottom photo), for example, by
calculating drip rates of propofol and ketamine for a 10-year-old child
suffering from an inguinal hernia. According to Hamilton, the greatest
impact was “getting to serve underprivileged patients who were so
happy to receive medical care that’s been a problem all their life.” When
asked what she enjoyed most about the trip, Hamilton stated, “The
gratitude and humility of the patients was the best part.” For more

FACULTY
UT College of Pharmacy Informatics Practice Activities in Nashville
The Assistant Dean for Middle Tennessee
Dr. Todd Bess has worked well with Hospital
Corporation of America to develop a strong
PGY-1 and PGY-2 residency program
partnership with Dr. Alicia Perry, Residency
Programs Director for Hospital Corporation
of America (HCA) Clinical Services Group.
One of the PGY-2 residency opportunities is
in informatics, and the PGY-2 Pharmacy
resident for 2013-2014 is Melissa Weaver,
PharmD. Dr. Weaver worked on several
projects including deployment and
implementation of Computerized Provider
Order Entry (CPOE), survey of pharmacists’
opinions on CPOE, and an e-prescribing
failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). She is currently compiling a repository of electronic health record rules,
reports, and clinical decision support from HCA’s hospitals to facilitate information sharing and best practices. The
Pharmacy Informatics Program Director is Dr. Connie Saltsman, with academic support from Dr. Bess. In October 2013,
the College of Pharmacy was fortunate to add a faculty position in the area of informatics to the Nashville team. Dr.
Carol White’s (pictured below) informatics practice with HCA is primarily focused in the ambulatory setting, specifically
associated with the HCA Physician Services team. In this role, she works with a
variety of healthcare providers, systems analysts, and corporate leadership to
assess and address medication-related initiatives and issues within the different
electronic health record (EHR) systems the providers use. This is creating the
opportunity to merge the desire to impact patient care, challenge clinical skills
and knowledge, and learn new technologies every day. There are many
opportunities to further create and cultivate relationships as an informatics
pharmacist in the ambulatory setting. The partnership between the University of
Tennessee College of Pharmacy and HCA is an excellent example of how these
relationships are developed.

Dean Visits Memphis-Area Pharmacists
In January 2014, Dean Marie Chisholm-Burns and Executive Associate Dean Jim Eoff visited many Memphis-area
alumni and preceptors (pictured below). They visited thirteen pharmacies including: Methodist North, Methodist
Germantown, St. Francis, St. Francis Park, Walgreen’s, Fred’s, Family Practice Clinic, Regel PharmLab, People’s Rx
Compounding, and Prescription Shop. These visits are conducted to reconnect with alumni and observe what
preceptors have to offer our students during advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE). Many of the sites
visited were hosting UT pharmacy students at the time, allowing Chisholm-Burns and Eoff to see, first hand, what
students were involved in during the month. According to Dean Chisholm-Burns, more site visits will be conducted
“when it warms up.”

Condolences
The College of Pharmacy notes with sadness the passing of Frank “Bernard” Hundley, Sr., DPh on January 16, 2014 at
the age of 86. A 1950 graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy, Dr. Hundley, along with his father,
established the Hundley Pharmacy in Plaza North in Red Bank. After selling the pharmacy, Hundley began work at
Erlanger Hospital in 1974. He served as a staff pharmacist and was promoted to interim director and, ultimately, chief
pharmacist of T.C. Thompson until his retirement in 1996.
