Welcome

The impact of the pharmacy profession and of the pharmaceutical sciences inhealth care are clear from the on-going health care reform discussions, and theemphasis on quality of health care will continue to be at the forefront for healthprofessionals. Pharmacists provide patient-centered and patient-focused care andtruly make a difference for individuals. Exciting advances in pharmaceuticalsciences, drug discovery, and drug development offer novel medicinal agents andnew therapeutic approaches for the treatment of diseases. The faculty, students andstaff of The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy are focused on our missionto advance pharmaceutical care for the people of Ohio and the global communitythrough our teaching, through our research, and through our service.

In 2008-2009, our academic programs remain very strong and robust. A total of490 students were enrolled in our entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD)program, and the nontraditional PharmD (NTPD) program had 60 studentsenrolled. Following graduation in June 2009, the 117 PharmD graduates acceptedpositions in community pharmacy, ambulatory care practices, hospital pharmacypractice, or residencies to continue education and specialization. The BS inPharmaceutical Sciences program enrolled approximately 475 students as majors in2008-2009. Many of our top students in this program enter our PharmD program,while others have gone on to graduate school, medical school, or one of manycareer options. Our graduate programs in the College of Pharmacy continue the tradition of excellence in the areas ofmedicinal chemistry and pharmacognosy, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, and pharmaceutical administration.

The high quality and the maturity of our students extend well beyond their academic accomplishments in the classrooms.Involvement in student professional organizations and engagement in research experiences are excellent opportunities forstudents to develop “outside” the classroom and to network with other students, faculty, and pharmacy colleagues fromaround the nation. Service-learning activities included health related events (i.e. health fairs, diabetes screenings, flu clinics,brown bag reviews, etc.) and community-based programs for underserved people. Faculty, students, and alumni are activelyinvolved in our Generation Rx Initiative, encompassing K-12 educational programming, prescription drug abuseworkshops, and partnerships with central Ohio organizations.

Faculty and students perform exciting interdisciplinary research in drug discovery, drug action, drug delivery, drugdevelopment, medication safety, and therapeutic outcomes. Faculty in the pharmaceutical sciences are discoveringmechanisms of diseases and identifying novel molecules and approaches for potential therapies. Our pharmacy practicefaculty are developing innovative practice models of medication therapy management and are engaged in providingtherapeutic services in various area hospitals, clinics, and community practice settings. In October 2008, Dr. Milap Nahatawas elected to the Institute of Medicine, National Academies of Sciences, a tremendous honor and recognition of his

outstanding teaching and research career. Professor Marialice Bennettreceived the APhA Gloria Niemeyer Francke Leadership Mentor Awardin April 2009, and she was elected President-elect of APhA in August2009.

The strong academic programs in professional, graduate, andundergraduate education and the excellent research and scholarship are areflection of the high quality faculty, students, researchers, and staff ofthe College. Our collective efforts maintain The Ohio State UniversityCollege of Pharmacy among the top pharmacy schools in the nation.This issue of our College annual report highlights this past year’saccomplishments, and I hope you find the report to be interesting andinsightful.

Sincerely,

Dean Robert W. Brueggemeier

Blake Toney, an Ohio State senior studying pharmacy, aspires to enter a two-year residency to specialize in infectious diseases.

ation

with a dramatically reduced debt load.

How did you select pharmaceutical sciences as your chosen field of study?

The more I researched it and thought about it, the more pharmacy made sense, as though it had been tailored to my interests

and goals. What better way to combine the desires of understanding our world through the lens of science and using that

knowledge to help others? Pharmacy practice integrates many of the sciences to create a new science geared toward the safe and

efficacious use of pharmaceuticals. Now that three years have passed, I have grown fond of this awesome institution. Ohio State

has fostered a fresh outlook on life, on education, and on what it means to pursue a profession that is a perfect fit. I love Ohio

this fine establishment.

What stands out the most about your Ohio State experience so far?

My highlight has been the transition from the Mansfield campus to main campus. The bigness of it all is breathtaking. When I rode

my bike through the Oval on the first nice day of spring, I hurriedly searched for the large body of water that was apparently

nearby, because I could have sworn that I rode right into the middle of a beach! Students were everywhere, with beach towels,

beach balls, the coconut aroma of sun

memory epitomizes the unique and diverse population that we have at Ohio State; our city-sized group of ambitious young people

fosters an unmatched learning environment.

As a recipient of financial aid, you know through experience how essential scholarships can be. Why do you feel

supporting students through donations is a worthwhile endeavor?

I am truly pleased that there are so many people who understand the importance of giving to students in need. These donors are

not only making an investment in the lives of the recipients, but also in our economy. I have a first-hand insight into the

importance of both the scholar and the pharmacist, who I am and hope to be, respectively. As with everything in life, both require

money. After I graduate, I plan to earn some of this for myself, but then later give back to those students who will perpetuate my

profession. At times I feel unworthy of the generous amounts of money I

citizen of this country, and that I will indubitably go on and do my part to stimulate the economy through my years of hard work

and tax dollars.

Describe your future professional goals.

At the beginning of my junior year, I was almost positive that I was going to become a community pharmacist, working in the

same setting I do now (I work as a pharmacy technician at a Rite Aid). However, I am increasingly certain that I want to enter a

two-year resid

this is just a phase. I presented data about this profession in a research paper, and it seems tailored to my strengths and

aspirations.

Lindsay Skomrock (Entry-LevelPharmD) is not sure exactly whoor what influenced her to studyPharmacy, but she is sure thatgeriatrics is her field. Herundergraduate thesis, on age-related changes in color visionand how that affects takingmedications, has just beenpublished in ConsultantPharmacist (ASCP Journal), quitean accomplishment for anundergraduate.

From Painseville, OH, Lindsayand her only brother, Nicholas,both attend Ohio State and bothwill graduate in June 2010;Lindsay with a Doctor ofPharmacy degree and Nicholaswith a BS Degree in Biology.

Lindsay’s strong academicrecord ensured her a place in theEAP (Early Admission Program)at OSU. Scholarships and grantsenabled Lindsay to attend schooland she will likely seek aresidency in geriatrics aftergraduation. While at OSU shehas been active in studentgovernment (President ofAmerican Society of ConsultantPharmacists, Student Chapter)and in outreach programs likeGeneration Rx, an initiative aimedat increasing studentunderstanding of medicationsafety issues, in particular thedangers of abusing prescriptionand over-the-counter medications.

Lindsay’s expertise in the areaof geriatrics and her kind-hearted spirit will becomplementary attributes for acareer working with older adults.

Emlah TuBuo (Entry LevelPharmD) Originally fromCameroon in Central Africa, Emlahbrings a love of learning and aspirit of determination to ourstudent body. After earning a BSin Microbiology from Cameroon,Emlah began teaching sciences ina Jr High School at home. Shesoon realized she had a gift ofcommunication and could impartknowledge and health-relatedinformation to people who reallyneeded it. A short experienceworking in an infusion productionplant in Cameroon ignited herinterest in pharmacy. Becauseopportunities to earn a pharmacydegree in Cameroon were non-existent, Emlah overcame manyobstacles, earned a Mastersdegree in Molecular Geneticsfrom Chicago State University andeventually applied to OSU. Shewas accepted into the PharmDprogram in 2006 and will graduatein 2010.

Emlah credits Dr. Ken Hale, heradvisor, with her success inschool and her continued beliefthat she could achieve her goal,bringing professional health careworkers to her home country. She envisions the day she bringsPharmacy students to thehospitals in Cameroon, where the pharmacies are run bytechnicians because there are no trained pharmacists inCameroonian hospitals.

From a family of five children (allcollege educated), Emlah willsoon be serving her patients withthe same high standards andenergy that made her successfulin her education. Emlah’s newfamily, husband Vincent and newson, Timchia, inspire and supporther emotionally.

This Autumn we welcomed a new class of 134 promising PharmD students tocampus. They join our student body (489 in total) to become our next generationof pharmacists, well-prepared to meet the health-care challenges of the future. As inthe past our retention of students remains strong (98% since 2004) and ourgraduates continue to excel in the NAPLEX and MPJE examinations (98.9% and100% first-attempt pass rate). Coming from a recruitment class of 800applications, our Autumn ’08 entering class boasted a GPA of 3.5; an overall meanPCAT score at 83rd percentile and over 87% entering with a Bachelor’s degree.

Together with these new students, our Entry-Level PharmD class counted 159 on the Dean’sHonor roll for the 2008-2009 academic year;twenty-six initiated into Rho Chi, the nationalPharmacy Honor Society, and many individualand student organization awards at the universityand national levels.

Student financial aid increased by 5.82% in2008. Scholarship support, a critical componentof financial aid, also increased this year and wascelebrated at our 5th Annual EndowedScholarship Reception. External aid, contributedby scholarship and grant programs outside ofOSU, increased by 14%.

We admitted 14 students into the Early-Admissions Pathway students, oureighth class. Many of these students matriculate into the PharmD Program, whileothers go on to complete the BSPS program.

Because we value a diverse student population we continue to foster relationshipswith the institutions of the Atlanta University Center and the University of PuertoRico toward the goal of minority student recruitment. These efforts, combinedwith our outstanding, competitive reputation, are reflected in the 21% minority-presence students in the PharmD program. Jamie Capestany, a preceptor at the Mt. Carmel East Anticoagulation Center, was awarded the 2009 John M.Cassady/Kenneth M. Hale Diversity Enhancement Award.

Michele Michaels (Non-Traditional PharmD) Michele isbeginning the final phase of herNon-Traditional PharmD program,her clinical rotations. It has beena long journey, but one she isgrateful to have begun.

Growing up in rural easternOhio, St. Clairsville, Michele andher two sisters spent time at anursing home where their motherwas the director of nurses. Evenas a child, Michele saw thepharmacist make decisionsregarding patient care thatclearly and positively affectedlives. When it came time tochoose a profession, Michelewas drawn to pharmacy, ratherthan follow her mother andsisters in the nursing profession.

Her decision to apply to thenon-traditional program was notan easy one, considering thecommitment of time and effort,but she took the leap as herfather always insisted thatknowledge is the key to success.She feels fortunate to have madethis journey with her classmates.They have shared a wealth ofexperience and great thirst for adeeper knowledge of clinicaltherapeutics that will augmenttheir professional competence.

Michele’s husband, Greg, onceher lab partner in PharmacySchool, completed pharmacy anddental school and now practicesoral and maxillofacial surgery.His support and encouragementare vital to Michele's success.

Providing experiential education part-time for the first and third students andfull-time for the fourth-year students is certainly a challenge. More colleges ofpharmacy securing good sites for their own students, increasing complexitysurrounding student requirements while engaging in rotations and morecomplicated education agreement requirements creates this challenge.

In recognition of the importance of preceptors skilled in human and fiscalresources we honored our valued preceptors this year:

TheCollege also received the second year of Eli Lillygraduate student fellowship in pharmaceutics. TheOhio State University recently became one of thefirst academic institutions to install a new piece ofcell culture equipment known as the RoboticManipulator Arm, or ROMA. This equipment,made possible by a donation from XenoBioticLaboratories, Inc., will increase theefficiency and accuracy of early drugdiscovery assays. Over 1,950 alumniand friends contributed to theCollege's fund raising efforts thisyear... 279 more than last year.

The College participated in theuniversity initiative “Students First,Students Now” by launching a $1 million emergency initiative tosupport student scholarships. Gifts tofund #312755 through June 30, 2011support this effort. Gifts to any scholarshipfund in the College count towards the total goal.

Norman J. Uretsky. A consummateteacher, Dr. Uretsky spent his lifein the profession he loved,teaching. Upon learning of hisdeath in 2008, students andcolleagues sent thoughtfulcomments to his family including“...an inspiration and a role modelto me,” “...a teacher and a mentor,”and, ”...his enthusiasm forteaching was contagious andmade it easier to learn.”

Norm’s wife, Ella, establisheda graduate student award fundto support an outstandinggraduate student in Pharma-cology, with a preference inneuropharmacology research.

Mike Uretsky, Norm’s son,wrote a touching eulogy for hisfather. Mike told us that hisfather likely never realized theimpact of his hard work,dedication and generosity

towards his students andcolleagues at Ohio State. But,clearly, his legacy will live onthrough the scholarshipestablished in his name andthrough his son. Mike, aneducator like his dad, embraceshis father’s renowned caring anddedication to teaching in his ownprofessional life and will ensurethat Norm’s spirit will continue.

Gerald J.Hudec. The Board ofTrustees approved the Gerald J.Hudec Scholarship Award Fundand the College will award thefirst student scholarship at theend of the 2009/2010 school year.Jerry Hudec will ‘turn the tables,’this time giving a deservingstudent financial assistance, justas he received during his collegeyears.

Jerry retired ten years ago froman exciting and rewardingprofessional career beginning andending with pharmacy, and a stintwith practicing law in San Diegoin between. Now it’s time for Jerryand his wife, Jody, to embark onan adventure. Beginning in theSpring of 2010, they will take theirboat, ‘Recess’, and attempt tocomplete the Great Loop, a tripcircumnavigating eastern NorthAmerica through the IntercoastalWaterway, the Great Lakes andmany rivers and canals along theway.

Jerry is grateful for his OSUeducation and acknowledges hecould not have completed itwithout the help he received fromscholarships and grants. This yearhe will have the satisfaction thatcomes from paying forward andanother student will realize theirdreams because of the generosityof Jerry and Jody Hudec.

Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers

Collaborating with Columbus to promote health and well-being inour community, our college responded to a request from City healthofficials in 1991. They were looking for ways to make the best use ofgovernment funding to subsidize medications for uninsured patients atthe Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers. It is here at the fiveunderserved area clinics that patients are empowered with tools to livea healthier lifestyle and manage their healthcare in a preventative way.

Today pharmacy students and pharmacy practice residents work with doctors, the pharmacist, nurses and nursepractitioners and continue to develop critical skills that will serve them well in their professional careers. They are involvedwith Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee work, develop medication therapy plans for patients dealing with long-termdiseases like diabetes and hypertension, write health information materials for a multicultural population and connectpatients to any number of programs to put life-saving medications within their reach.

Laura Hall, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Pharmacy Practice and Administration Division, became involved with theCNHC centers as a practice site in 2000. As a clinical pharmacist she sees patients regarding medication and disease statemanagement focusing on those with difficulties meeting their therapeutic goals and works to improve medication access foruninsured patients. CNHC is a rich training site for pharmacy students as they learn to apply therapeutics while dealingwith cultural, language, health literacy and socioeconomic barriers to good health care.

Global Pharmacy Initiatives...Update Thailand/Taiwan relationship

The College is engaged in international faculty and studentexchanges, as well as other educational, practice and researchcollaborations with schools/colleges of pharmacy in other parts of theworld. Official agreements for research, teaching and practice-relatedcollaborations have been initiated with schools of pharmacy in Taiwan.Faculty members and pharmacy students from National TaiwanUniversity (NTU) and China Medical University (CMU) visited OhioState in May 2009 to discuss our growing research and pharmacypractice training relationships. Two M.S. pharmacy students from NTU visitedOSU in May for clinical experiences in hospital and community pharmacy settingsand Professor Bennett and Dr. Hale visited Taiwan. Professor Bennett presented intheir International Conference on Community Pharmacy Services and Dr. Halepresented at the Taiwan Society of Health-System Pharmacists Annual Meeting.They also met with faculty and students at several universities, pharmacyassociations, government officials and pharmacy practitioners. Discussions continueon distance education opportunities for Taiwanese pharmacy students and facultyin clinical pharmacy, as well as traditional Chinese medicine courses for OSUstudents and faculty. OSU is also assisting our Taiwanese educational colleagues intraining clinical preceptors in preparation for their implementation of the Doctorof Pharmacy curricula.

We are members in the US-Thailand Consortium of Schools/Colleges of Pharmacy focusing on advanced degreeopportunities for Thai students. This agreement extends 15 years and was expanded to include advanced training in clinicalpharmacy areas as well as graduate education in the pharmaceutical sciences. Our College is an active participant in thenewly established Fogarty Center for Global Health at The Ohio State University Health Sciences.

Outreach and Engagement

Partnerships expand and innovation continues in the area of Outreachand Engagement. College faculty and students provide leadership incontinuing initiatives and creativity and guidance in new intiatives. Inall we do we keep in mind the university’s mission to:

� enable learning beyond the campus walls� make what we discover useful beyond the academic community� directly benefit the public

Prescription for a smile!

Prescription for a Smile is a therapeutic clowning organizationcomprised of students from the College of Pharmacy and the College ofMedicine. The group was started just one year ago in September of 2008and has these objectives:

� Have fun! Professional school is hard work! Play is healthy for everyone!

� Learn how to make meaningful, kind,non-threatening connections withpatients that ease “white coat” fears.Clowning removes barriers and helpsboth patients and caregivers focus on theessential human elements of giving care.

� Engage the right brain! Losing routineconnection with our artistic, verbal,playful, creative capacities makes usvulnerable to burnout.

� Reach out to others! Help a patient, achild, an elder have a better day. Bring asmile. Help someone laugh. Engage as afellow human before you engage as a professional. Laughter reminds us that we’realive…that there is hope…that someone cares!

Gerald CableDirector, Outreach and

Engagement

Generation Rx...Update

The Generation Rx Initiative engages faculty and students at OSU andother colleges/universities in educational outreach to reduce the abuse ofprescription and non-prescription medications. This year SSHP, SNPhA and Pre-Pharmacy Clubstudents conducted workshops; supported an assembly at New Albany High School; presented aprogram at the Ohio Pharmacists Association’s Annual Conference; surveyed OSU students onmedications; participated in a University Science Café event on stimulants as cognitive enhancers;and presented to many groups about this growing public health problem.

The College partnered with the Cardinal Health Foundation to continue and expand these efforts.We plan to develop educational prevention pilot programs in Ohio communities, other colleges anduniversities, and schools. We will organize a local “town hall” event and national conference aroundthis topic. Recognitions for best prevention outreach practices by pharmacists and studentpharmacists will be instituted.

By the very nature of this program, students are interested in researchopportunities. During the 2008-2009 school year, 25 BSPS studentsundertook undergraduate research projects. One student participated in theDenman Undergraduate Research Competition and 10 students presentedposters in our Third Annual Research Day 2008. Summer 2009 saw threeundergraduate students participating in our summer research program.

We graduated 118 students in the BSPS program (4 with Distinction andHonors, 19 cum laude, 17 magna cum laude, and 3 summa cum laude).Our BSPS graduates will fill positions as skilled researchers and professionalsin marketing, economics, regulations, and clinical affairs.

Kathryn Hudson (BS,Pharmaceutical Sciences)A ‘scientist’ from a very young age,Kate always had an interest in thesciences, specifically organicchemistry! When Kate was quiteyoung, her father’s battle withcancer introduced her to the worldof healthcare and the power oftherapeutic drugs to relievesuffering.

Kate is now a student in theBSPS program and will soon begoing on interviews for PharmacySchool. Considering Kate’soutgoing personality, strong peopleskills and ethical commitment, herchoice of community pharmacy fitsher perfectly.

Kate’s valuable experience inJim McAuley’s epilepsy lab andtwo scholarships, “UndergraduateResearch” and “Kappa AlphaTheta” will assist Kate in hereducation and attest to heracademic strengths.

In addition to the 11 sorority girlsin Kate’s OSU home, a youngersister, also at OSU, and her motherin Wadsworth (near Akron)complete Kate’s immediate family.

Kate is impressed with thepharmacy faculty and advisors andcredits Nicole Herbert for herthoughtful guidance. Kate’s love ofColumbus and OSU (her ‘secondhome’) makes her studies just alittle easier. We wish her luck inpursuing her PharmD degree andhope her dream of earning thatdegree from OSU comes true.

Faculty

The College of Pharmacy faculty provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities to students inlarge lectures, small group settings, and laboratories. Exciting interdisciplinary research in drug discovery,drug action, drug delivery, and drug development are being led by our pharmaceutical sciences faculty.Our pharmacy practice faculty are developing innovative models for medication therapy management andprovide therapeutic services in hospitals, clinics, and community practice settings. Also, faculty and staffserve the University and profession through outreach and engagement activities. The high quality of ourfaculty is reflected in the fact that two-thirds of the senior faculty have been honored by their peers andelected as Fellows of scientific organizations or professional pharmacy organizations.

New Faculty in PharmacyKristy M. Ainslie, PhD (Division of Pharmaceutics) originally hails from Michigan. Although a‘Spartan’ at heart, Kristy is fast becoming a ‘Buckeye’ as she, husband Eric and young son, Jacob, are makingColumbus, OH, their new home.

Kristy was always interested in the medical field, but came to pharmacy through an engineering pathway (three degrees in Chemical Engineering). An interest in drug delivery devices led her to UCSF where she didher post-doctorate training, concentrating on designing polymeric carrier systems for oral delivery ofpharmaceuticals.

Currently, Kristy is working on a grant she received for vaccines against bioterrorism agents. Her lab isfocused on polymeric carrier devices to deliver pharmaceuticals and skew the immune response of the body toact therapeutically, whether limiting infection in the case of vaccines or attenuating immune response tocombat autoimmune diseases.

Husband, Eric Bachelder, is aResearch Scientist in the College ofPharmacy. They are pleasantly surprisedat the number of ‘faculty spouses’working together at OSU and find theatmosphere collaborative and exciting.

Mitch A. Phelps, PhD (Divisionof Pharmaceutics) grew up in a smallcommunity not too far from Columbus,Sidney, OH. After receiving hisundergraduate degree in Physics at Ohio

Weslyan University, Mitch worked as a chemist for PPG Industries in Delaware, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA.Interested in combining his training in Physics and Chemistry with Biology, Mitch returned to Ohio to study

in the Biophysics Graduate Program at OSU. He credits Dr. Peter Swaan, his graduate advisor, Dr. Jim Dalton, his post-doctoral mentor, and Drs. John Byrd and Mike Grever, leaders in the ComprehensiveCancer Center, Division of Hematology and the Experimental Therapeutics Program, with his decision toremain in academia. Mitch finds the scientific atmosphere here at OSU to be collegial, collaborative andsupportive and says “It would be difficult to find a better academic setting with world-class drug developmentexperts, outstanding resources and an institutional commitment to foster translational science than you can findright here at OSU.”

We are grateful Mitch chose to remain at OSU. He started an exciting research program when he joined ourCollege in January 2009. Mitch’s research focuses on understanding how a person's genetics affect how theirbody metabolizes and eliminates anti-cancer drugs and, ultimately, why and how these drugs work in somepatients yet fail in others.

Mitch, his wife Lauren and two children, Alex, 8 and Ryan, 2 live in Powell.

Twenty-five years at OSU, College of Pharmacy, and Bob Curley has much to show for his time and effort. An east coast native,Bob earned his BS degree in Pharmacy from the University of Connecticut, but found his way to the midwest by way of WestVirginia. A PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from West Virginia University and a fellowship from the NCI in Madison, WI, refinedBob’s research interests to the study of nutritional biochemistry, specifically vitamins A and D, and how effective drugs can bederived from these natural products.

Bob can boast that he has the longest-running NCI major research grant in the College of Pharmacy. For 22 years he and hisresearch group have been studying vitamin A, and its derivatives, and how they control the processes that can prevent cancer.While studying vitamin A, Bob’s group stumbled on a molecule that “looks like a vitamin A analog, has the useful actions ofvitamin A metabolites in controlling cancer, but uses a different mode of action and, consequently, does NOT cause the birthdefects that commonly occur with vitamin A. They believe their research may one day lead to more effective treatments of breastcancer.

Bob appreciates the OSU scientific atmosphere, access to state-of-the-art equipment and freedom and independence in his work.As Bob says, “They allow me the freedom to succeed or fail on my own merits.” In November, 2009, Bob was inducted as a Fellowinto the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), an honor reserved for scientists who have demonstratedprofessional excellence in their field.

Chenglong Li. We may use ourcomputers to write letters andbalance our checkbooks, but Dr. Chenglong Li, and hisresearch group, use the power ofthe computer (computermodeling) to understand theprocess by which good drugsbind to their drug targets. “If wecan understand this processbetter, we can design drugs that‘recognize’ preferentially thedisease targets, thus reducingside effects and maximizing thegood effects of the drug,” says Li.

Dr. Li, born in a small city on theYangtze River bank in EasternChina, came to the US (Cornell)for his PhD. After a post-doc atthe Scripps Research Institute inSan Diego, he and his wife,Dahao Ling, came to OSU in 2005with their two young daughters.

As the fourth largest user of theOhio Supercomputer Center, Dr. Liwas elected Vice-Chair of theState-Wide User ExecutiveCommittee. As an investigator atthe College of Pharmacy and theOSU Comprehensive CancerCenter, Dr. Li’s group works in theareas of anticancer drugs,neurodegenerative and infectiousdiseases.

Because of the excellentcollaborative research environ-ment at OSU, Dr. Li and his grouphave discovered several leadcompounds showing strongpotential in targeted drugdevelopment. Three potentialpatents ensure that the team ison their way to making an impactin the area of drug discovery.

Ken Chan. One of six children, Dr. Chan was born in Hong Kong. Nowall his siblings are scattered throughthe US (NY to CA) except for one whoremains in Hong Kong. Dr. Chancompleted all of his higher educationin the US and spent much of hisprofessional career at USC inresearch and academia. He wasappointed by President George Bushto a six-year (1991-96) term of theNational Cancer Advisory Board. Hemay well be the first pharmacy facultyto have a presidential appointment. In1992, Dr. Chan joined the Colleges ofPharmacy and Medicine at OSU andhas focused his research in cancer,specifically pharmacokinetics,metabolite and clinicalpharmacokinetics, clinical studies,cancer drug development, drugmetabolism, drug analytical methoddevelopment, stable isotope labelingand its application inpharmacokinetics and drugmetabolism research, liquid-chromatographic mass spectrometry,cancer chemotherapy and modulation,and antisense drug therapy.

Irene, Dr. Chan’s wife, is a registeredpharmacist working at Medco HealthSolutions. They have two daughters.Tammy, a physician in Columbus, andJulie, an attorney in California.

Dr. Chan is happy to be connectedto OSU, an institution, according tohim, loaded with talent and resourcesand plenty of toys (scientificequipment). Dr. Chan’s favorite, theMass Spectrometer, (he has five ofthem!), is a key tool in his researchefforts particularly in drugmetabolite/degradation productidentification, quantification of drugand metabolites in biologicalspecimens and useful in conductingpreclinical and clinicalpharmacokinetics studies.

Terry Elton came to OSU aftereight years at both BrighamYoung University and Universityof Alabama. From Salt Lake City,Terry and his wife, Janie, havefive children and four grand-children. Visiting their familiestakes them from Arizona to Utah.

As Interim Director of the OSUDavis Heart and Lung ResearchInstitute, Terry finds himselfpulled between science in thelaboratory, his first love, and theimportant administrative dutiesthat come with over-seeing anoutstanding, inter-disciplinarycenter like the DHLRI.

As sometimes happens in thelaboratory, an open mind andinquisitive nature can lead oneoff the path of planned study toanother, unexpected, discovery.Terry and his lab group have beenstudying high blood pressure andhypertension for the last 25 years.Focusing on the gene encodingfor the angiotensin II receptor,which affects blood pressure, thegroup learned about microRNA-155. This microRNA is found onChormosome 21, the extrachromosome linked to DownSyndrome.

Terry’s research may one daybring new treatment to DownSyndrome children and give thema chance to reach higher levelsof independence.

Daren Knoell’s promotion to FullProfessor marks a notablepharmacy career at OSU. TheNIH-supported investigation ofDaren’s laboratory is based inclinical translation researchwhich focuses on makingscientific discoveries involvinglung disease at the bench andtranslating these findings to thepatient’s bedside. Daren and hisgroup start with a problem. Forexample, “Why do certainpatients with infection quicklydevelop life-threatening acutelung injury when others respondeffectively to antibiotics?”

Two recent discoveries in theKnoell lab have provennoteworthy. Zinc, a vital dietarynutrient, has been found to playan important role in protectingcells within the lung frominfection-induced injury. Anotherfinding involves an enzyme knownas PTEN. Members of his teamwere the first to report thatinhibition of this moleculeprovides a protective advantagein preventing the development ofacute lung injury.

Daren’s wife, Karen, apharmacist at the McConnellHeart Health Center, also preceptsand teaches pharmacy studentsas an adjunct faculty in ourcollege. Son, Oliver (17), is asenior at Metro High School/Darby High School, a full-timeOSU student, and captains hishigh school soccer team.Daughter, Chloe (13) is an 8thgrader in Hilliard and enjoys beinga teenager, orchestra, andkeeping her parents up to speedwith the latest fashion trends.

New PhD program: Translational Science

The College of Pharmacy recently launched a new area ofspecialization for doctoral study, a program in Translational Science.This program is an addition to the existing doctoral (PhD)specializations in Pharmacology, Medicinal Chemistry andPharmacognosy, Pharmaceutics, and PharmaceuticalAdministration. Translational Science is that which ultimatelytranslates research from the laboratory bench to the patient as wellas the reverse. The combination of basic and clinical sciencetraining during the PhD studies, with the clinical training duringthe PharmD studies, is designed to provide a strong foundation forconducting translational science. The program was developed tomeet an unmet need for translational scientists in academia,pharmaceutical industry, and governmental agencies.

� Open only to students who are concurrently enrolled in, orhave already completed, PharmD studies.

� Some graduate course work may be completed during thePharmD program of study.

� Students have opportunities for independent study, summerresearch courses during the PharmD program.

� Full-time graduate students are eligible to receive support asteaching assistants or research assistants and may be eligiblefor student loan repayment from the National Institutes ofHealth loan repayment program.

� Faculty advisers may be from any of the divisions of thecollege, but at least one advisory committee member mustbe from the Division of Pharmacy Practice andAdministration.

Daren Knoell’s promotion to FullProfessor marks a notablepharmacy career at OSU. TheNIH-supported investigation ofDaren’s laboratory is based inclinical translation researchwhich focuses on makingscientific discoveries involvinglung disease at the bench andtranslating these findings to thepatient’s bedside. Daren and hisgroup start with a problem. Forexample, “Why do certainpatients with infection quicklydevelop life-threatening acutelung injury when others respondeffectively to antibiotics?”

Two recent discoveries in theKnoell lab have provennoteworthy. Zinc, a vital dietarynutrient, has been found to playan important role in protectingcells within the lung frominfection-induced injury. Anotherfinding involves an enzyme knownas PTEN. Members of his teamwere the first to report thatinhibition of this moleculeprovides a protective advantagein preventing the development ofacute lung injury.

Daren’s wife, Karen, apharmacist at the McConnellHeart Health Center, also preceptsand teaches pharmacy studentsas an adjunct faculty in ourcollege. Son, Oliver (17), is asenior at Metro High School/Darby High School, a full-timeOSU student, and captains hishigh school soccer team.Daughter, Chloe (13) is an 8thgrader in Hilliard and enjoys beinga teenager, orchestra, andkeeping her parents up to speedwith the latest fashion trends.

Terry Elton came to OSU aftereight years at both BrighamYoung University and Universityof Alabama. From Salt Lake City,Terry and his wife, Janie, havefive children and four grand-children. Visiting their familiestakes them from Arizona to Utah.

As Interim Director of the OSUDavis Heart and Lung ResearchInstitute, Terry finds himselfpulled between science in thelaboratory, his first love, and theimportant administrative dutiesthat come with over-seeing anoutstanding, inter-disciplinarycenter like the DHLRI.

As sometimes happens in thelaboratory, an open mind andinquisitive nature can lead oneoff the path of planned study toanother, unexpected, discovery.Terry and his lab group have beenstudying high blood pressure andhypertension for the last 25 years.Focusing on the gene encodingfor the angiotensin II receptor,which affects blood pressure, thegroup learned about microRNA-155. This microRNA is found onChormosome 21, the extrachromosome linked to DownSyndrome.

Terry’s research may one daybring new treatment to DownSyndrome children and give thema chance to reach higher levelsof independence.

Ken Chan. One of six children, Dr. Chan was born in Hong Kong. Nowall his siblings are scattered throughthe US (NY to CA) except for one whoremains in Hong Kong. Dr. Chancompleted all of his higher educationin the US and spent much of hisprofessional career at USC inresearch and academia. He wasappointed by President George Bushto a six-year (1991-96) term of theNational Cancer Advisory Board. Hemay well be the first pharmacy facultyto have a presidential appointment. In1992, Dr. Chan joined the Colleges ofPharmacy and Medicine at OSU andhas focused his research in cancer,specifically pharmacokinetics,metabolite and clinicalpharmacokinetics, clinical studies,cancer drug development, drugmetabolism, drug analytical methoddevelopment, stable isotope labelingand its application inpharmacokinetics and drugmetabolism research, liquid-chromatographic mass spectrometry,cancer chemotherapy and modulation,and antisense drug therapy.

Irene, Dr. Chan’s wife, is a registeredpharmacist working at Medco HealthSolutions. They have two daughters.Tammy, a physician in Columbus, andJulie, an attorney in California.

Dr. Chan is happy to be connectedto OSU, an institution, according tohim, loaded with talent and resourcesand plenty of toys (scientificequipment). Dr. Chan’s favorite, theMass Spectrometer, (he has five ofthem!), is a key tool in his researchefforts particularly in drugmetabolite/degradation productidentification, quantification of drugand metabolites in biologicalspecimens and useful in conductingpreclinical and clinicalpharmacokinetics studies.

Chenglong Li. We may use ourcomputers to write letters andbalance our checkbooks, but Dr. Chenglong Li, and hisresearch group, use the power ofthe computer (computermodeling) to understand theprocess by which good drugsbind to their drug targets. “If wecan understand this processbetter, we can design drugs that‘recognize’ preferentially thedisease targets, thus reducingside effects and maximizing thegood effects of the drug,” says Li.

Dr. Li, born in a small city on theYangtze River bank in EasternChina, came to the US (Cornell)for his PhD. After a post-doc atthe Scripps Research Institute inSan Diego, he and his wife,Dahao Ling, came to OSU in 2005with their two young daughters.

As the fourth largest user of theOhio Supercomputer Center, Dr. Liwas elected Vice-Chair of theState-Wide User ExecutiveCommittee. As an investigator atthe College of Pharmacy and theOSU Comprehensive CancerCenter, Dr. Li’s group works in theareas of anticancer drugs,neurodegenerative and infectiousdiseases.

Because of the excellentcollaborative research environ-ment at OSU, Dr. Li and his grouphave discovered several leadcompounds showing strongpotential in targeted drugdevelopment. Three potentialpatents ensure that the team ison their way to making an impactin the area of drug discovery.

Faculty

The College of Pharmacy faculty provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities to students inlarge lectures, small group settings, and laboratories. Exciting interdisciplinary research in drug discovery,drug action, drug delivery, and drug development are being led by our pharmaceutical sciences faculty.Our pharmacy practice faculty are developing innovative models for medication therapy management andprovide therapeutic services in hospitals, clinics, and community practice settings. Also, faculty and staffserve the University and profession through outreach and engagement activities. The high quality of ourfaculty is reflected in the fact that two-thirds of the senior faculty have been honored by their peers andelected as Fellows of scientific organizations or professional pharmacy organizations.

New Faculty in PharmacyKristy M. Ainslie, PhD (Division of Pharmaceutics) originally hails from Michigan. Although a‘Spartan’ at heart, Kristy is fast becoming a ‘Buckeye’ as she, husband Eric and young son, Jacob, are makingColumbus, OH, their new home.

Kristy was always interested in the medical field, but came to pharmacy through an engineering pathway (three degrees in Chemical Engineering). An interest in drug delivery devices led her to UCSF where she didher post-doctorate training, concentrating on designing polymeric carrier systems for oral delivery ofpharmaceuticals.

Currently, Kristy is working on a grant she received for vaccines against bioterrorism agents. Her lab isfocused on polymeric carrier devices to deliver pharmaceuticals and skew the immune response of the body toact therapeutically, whether limiting infection in the case of vaccines or attenuating immune response tocombat autoimmune diseases.

Husband, Eric Bachelder, is aResearch Scientist in the College ofPharmacy. They are pleasantly surprisedat the number of ‘faculty spouses’working together at OSU and find theatmosphere collaborative and exciting.

Mitch A. Phelps, PhD (Divisionof Pharmaceutics) grew up in a smallcommunity not too far from Columbus,Sidney, OH. After receiving hisundergraduate degree in Physics at Ohio

Weslyan University, Mitch worked as a chemist for PPG Industries in Delaware, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA.Interested in combining his training in Physics and Chemistry with Biology, Mitch returned to Ohio to study

in the Biophysics Graduate Program at OSU. He credits Dr. Peter Swaan, his graduate advisor, Dr. Jim Dalton, his post-doctoral mentor, and Drs. John Byrd and Mike Grever, leaders in the ComprehensiveCancer Center, Division of Hematology and the Experimental Therapeutics Program, with his decision toremain in academia. Mitch finds the scientific atmosphere here at OSU to be collegial, collaborative andsupportive and says “It would be difficult to find a better academic setting with world-class drug developmentexperts, outstanding resources and an institutional commitment to foster translational science than you can findright here at OSU.”

We are grateful Mitch chose to remain at OSU. He started an exciting research program when he joined ourCollege in January 2009. Mitch’s research focuses on understanding how a person's genetics affect how theirbody metabolizes and eliminates anti-cancer drugs and, ultimately, why and how these drugs work in somepatients yet fail in others.

Mitch, his wife Lauren and two children, Alex, 8 and Ryan, 2 live in Powell.

Twenty-five years at OSU, College of Pharmacy, and Bob Curley has much to show for his time and effort. An east coast native,Bob earned his BS degree in Pharmacy from the University of Connecticut, but found his way to the midwest by way of WestVirginia. A PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from West Virginia University and a fellowship from the NCI in Madison, WI, refinedBob’s research interests to the study of nutritional biochemistry, specifically vitamins A and D, and how effective drugs can bederived from these natural products.

Bob can boast that he has the longest-running NCI major research grant in the College of Pharmacy. For 22 years he and hisresearch group have been studying vitamin A, and its derivatives, and how they control the processes that can prevent cancer.While studying vitamin A, Bob’s group stumbled on a molecule that “looks like a vitamin A analog, has the useful actions ofvitamin A metabolites in controlling cancer, but uses a different mode of action and, consequently, does NOT cause the birthdefects that commonly occur with vitamin A. They believe their research may one day lead to more effective treatments of breastcancer.

Bob appreciates the OSU scientific atmosphere, access to state-of-the-art equipment and freedom and independence in his work.As Bob says, “They allow me the freedom to succeed or fail on my own merits.” In November, 2009, Bob was inducted as a Fellowinto the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), an honor reserved for scientists who have demonstratedprofessional excellence in their field.

Undergraduate Program:Bachelor of Science in the Pharmaceutical Sciences:

Students in the Bachelor of Science in the Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS)Program study the exciting areas of drug discovery, drug delivery, drugaction, drug distribution and pharmacoeconomics. This undergraduateprogram is a four year curriculum which builds a strong science foundation,develops essential laboratory skills, and provides the experience and trainingnecessary for graduate education, graduate professional education, or ahealth-related career. Graduates of the BSPS program will be prepared forgraduate education, graduate professional education, or a health-relatedcareer. The pharmaceutical industry offers career opportunities in sales andmarketing, drug research and development, quality assurance andprofessional services.

409 students were enrolled in the BSPS program at the conclusion of Spring2009. Upon entering our college 40.3% had University Honors status.These students continue to perform well as evidenced by the Meancumulative grade-point average of 3.18 and 67.9% with GPA > 3.0.

By the very nature of this program, students are interested in researchopportunities. During the 2008-2009 school year, 25 BSPS studentsundertook undergraduate research projects. One student participated in theDenman Undergraduate Research Competition and 10 students presentedposters in our Third Annual Research Day 2008. Summer 2009 saw threeundergraduate students participating in our summer research program.

We graduated 118 students in the BSPS program (4 with Distinction andHonors, 19 cum laude, 17 magna cum laude, and 3 summa cum laude).Our BSPS graduates will fill positions as skilled researchers and professionalsin marketing, economics, regulations, and clinical affairs.

Kathryn Hudson (BS,Pharmaceutical Sciences)A ‘scientist’ from a very young age,Kate always had an interest in thesciences, specifically organicchemistry! When Kate was quiteyoung, her father’s battle withcancer introduced her to the worldof healthcare and the power oftherapeutic drugs to relievesuffering.

Kate is now a student in theBSPS program and will soon begoing on interviews for PharmacySchool. Considering Kate’soutgoing personality, strong peopleskills and ethical commitment, herchoice of community pharmacy fitsher perfectly.

Kate’s valuable experience inJim McAuley’s epilepsy lab andtwo scholarships, “UndergraduateResearch” and “Kappa AlphaTheta” will assist Kate in hereducation and attest to heracademic strengths.

In addition to the 11 sorority girlsin Kate’s OSU home, a youngersister, also at OSU, and her motherin Wadsworth (near Akron)complete Kate’s immediate family.

Kate is impressed with thepharmacy faculty and advisors andcredits Nicole Herbert for herthoughtful guidance. Kate’s love ofColumbus and OSU (her ‘secondhome’) makes her studies just alittle easier. We wish her luck inpursuing her PharmD degree andhope her dream of earning thatdegree from OSU comes true.

Outreach and Engagement

Partnerships expand and innovation continues in the area of Outreachand Engagement. College faculty and students provide leadership incontinuing initiatives and creativity and guidance in new intiatives. Inall we do we keep in mind the university’s mission to:

� enable learning beyond the campus walls� make what we discover useful beyond the academic community� directly benefit the public

Prescription for a smile!

Prescription for a Smile is a therapeutic clowning organizationcomprised of students from the College of Pharmacy and the College ofMedicine. The group was started just one year ago in September of 2008and has these objectives:

� Have fun! Professional school is hard work! Play is healthy for everyone!

� Learn how to make meaningful, kind,non-threatening connections withpatients that ease “white coat” fears.Clowning removes barriers and helpsboth patients and caregivers focus on theessential human elements of giving care.

� Engage the right brain! Losing routineconnection with our artistic, verbal,playful, creative capacities makes usvulnerable to burnout.

� Reach out to others! Help a patient, achild, an elder have a better day. Bring asmile. Help someone laugh. Engage as afellow human before you engage as a professional. Laughter reminds us that we’realive…that there is hope…that someone cares!

Gerald CableDirector, Outreach and

Engagement

Generation Rx...Update

The Generation Rx Initiative engages faculty and students at OSU andother colleges/universities in educational outreach to reduce the abuse ofprescription and non-prescription medications. This year SSHP, SNPhA and Pre-Pharmacy Clubstudents conducted workshops; supported an assembly at New Albany High School; presented aprogram at the Ohio Pharmacists Association’s Annual Conference; surveyed OSU students onmedications; participated in a University Science Café event on stimulants as cognitive enhancers;and presented to many groups about this growing public health problem.

The College partnered with the Cardinal Health Foundation to continue and expand these efforts.We plan to develop educational prevention pilot programs in Ohio communities, other colleges anduniversities, and schools. We will organize a local “town hall” event and national conference aroundthis topic. Recognitions for best prevention outreach practices by pharmacists and studentpharmacists will be instituted.

Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers

Collaborating with Columbus to promote health and well-being inour community, our college responded to a request from City healthofficials in 1991. They were looking for ways to make the best use ofgovernment funding to subsidize medications for uninsured patients atthe Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers. It is here at the fiveunderserved area clinics that patients are empowered with tools to livea healthier lifestyle and manage their healthcare in a preventative way.

Today pharmacy students and pharmacy practice residents work with doctors, the pharmacist, nurses and nursepractitioners and continue to develop critical skills that will serve them well in their professional careers. They are involvedwith Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee work, develop medication therapy plans for patients dealing with long-termdiseases like diabetes and hypertension, write health information materials for a multicultural population and connectpatients to any number of programs to put life-saving medications within their reach.

Laura Hall, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Pharmacy Practice and Administration Division, became involved with theCNHC centers as a practice site in 2000. As a clinical pharmacist she sees patients regarding medication and disease statemanagement focusing on those with difficulties meeting their therapeutic goals and works to improve medication access foruninsured patients. CNHC is a rich training site for pharmacy students as they learn to apply therapeutics while dealingwith cultural, language, health literacy and socioeconomic barriers to good health care.

Global Pharmacy Initiatives...Update Thailand/Taiwan relationship

The College is engaged in international faculty and studentexchanges, as well as other educational, practice and researchcollaborations with schools/colleges of pharmacy in other parts of theworld. Official agreements for research, teaching and practice-relatedcollaborations have been initiated with schools of pharmacy in Taiwan.Faculty members and pharmacy students from National TaiwanUniversity (NTU) and China Medical University (CMU) visited OhioState in May 2009 to discuss our growing research and pharmacypractice training relationships. Two M.S. pharmacy students from NTU visitedOSU in May for clinical experiences in hospital and community pharmacy settingsand Professor Bennett and Dr. Hale visited Taiwan. Professor Bennett presented intheir International Conference on Community Pharmacy Services and Dr. Halepresented at the Taiwan Society of Health-System Pharmacists Annual Meeting.They also met with faculty and students at several universities, pharmacyassociations, government officials and pharmacy practitioners. Discussions continueon distance education opportunities for Taiwanese pharmacy students and facultyin clinical pharmacy, as well as traditional Chinese medicine courses for OSUstudents and faculty. OSU is also assisting our Taiwanese educational colleagues intraining clinical preceptors in preparation for their implementation of the Doctorof Pharmacy curricula.

We are members in the US-Thailand Consortium of Schools/Colleges of Pharmacy focusing on advanced degreeopportunities for Thai students. This agreement extends 15 years and was expanded to include advanced training in clinicalpharmacy areas as well as graduate education in the pharmaceutical sciences. Our College is an active participant in thenewly established Fogarty Center for Global Health at The Ohio State University Health Sciences.

Emlah TuBuo (Entry LevelPharmD) Originally fromCameroon in Central Africa, Emlahbrings a love of learning and aspirit of determination to ourstudent body. After earning a BSin Microbiology from Cameroon,Emlah began teaching sciences ina Jr High School at home. Shesoon realized she had a gift ofcommunication and could impartknowledge and health-relatedinformation to people who reallyneeded it. A short experienceworking in an infusion productionplant in Cameroon ignited herinterest in pharmacy. Becauseopportunities to earn a pharmacydegree in Cameroon were non-existent, Emlah overcame manyobstacles, earned a Mastersdegree in Molecular Geneticsfrom Chicago State University andeventually applied to OSU. Shewas accepted into the PharmDprogram in 2006 and will graduatein 2010.

Emlah credits Dr. Ken Hale, heradvisor, with her success inschool and her continued beliefthat she could achieve her goal,bringing professional health careworkers to her home country. She envisions the day she bringsPharmacy students to thehospitals in Cameroon, where the pharmacies are run bytechnicians because there are no trained pharmacists inCameroonian hospitals.

From a family of five children (allcollege educated), Emlah willsoon be serving her patients withthe same high standards andenergy that made her successfulin her education. Emlah’s newfamily, husband Vincent and newson, Timchia, inspire and supporther emotionally.

This Autumn we welcomed a new class of 134 promising PharmD students tocampus. They join our student body (489 in total) to become our next generationof pharmacists, well-prepared to meet the health-care challenges of the future. As inthe past our retention of students remains strong (98% since 2004) and ourgraduates continue to excel in the NAPLEX and MPJE examinations (98.9% and100% first-attempt pass rate). Coming from a recruitment class of 800applications, our Autumn ’08 entering class boasted a GPA of 3.5; an overall meanPCAT score at 83rd percentile and over 87% entering with a Bachelor’s degree.

Together with these new students, our Entry-Level PharmD class counted 159 on the Dean’sHonor roll for the 2008-2009 academic year;twenty-six initiated into Rho Chi, the nationalPharmacy Honor Society, and many individualand student organization awards at the universityand national levels.

Student financial aid increased by 5.82% in2008. Scholarship support, a critical componentof financial aid, also increased this year and wascelebrated at our 5th Annual EndowedScholarship Reception. External aid, contributedby scholarship and grant programs outside ofOSU, increased by 14%.

We admitted 14 students into the Early-Admissions Pathway students, oureighth class. Many of these students matriculate into the PharmD Program, whileothers go on to complete the BSPS program.

Because we value a diverse student population we continue to foster relationshipswith the institutions of the Atlanta University Center and the University of PuertoRico toward the goal of minority student recruitment. These efforts, combinedwith our outstanding, competitive reputation, are reflected in the 21% minority-presence students in the PharmD program. Jamie Capestany, a preceptor at the Mt. Carmel East Anticoagulation Center, was awarded the 2009 John M.Cassady/Kenneth M. Hale Diversity Enhancement Award.

Financial Report

The financial outlook for the College of Pharmacy remainspositive. The decreased funds available from state instructionalsupport for higher education are counterbalanced by revenues fromincreases in student enrollment, tuition, extramural researchfunding, and development. The collegeexpects stable funding over thecoming years as enrollmentand tuition stabilize, withstate support being lesspredictable.

Lindsay Skomrock (Entry-LevelPharmD) is not sure exactly whoor what influenced her to studyPharmacy, but she is sure thatgeriatrics is her field. Herundergraduate thesis, on age-related changes in color visionand how that affects takingmedications, has just beenpublished in ConsultantPharmacist (ASCP Journal), quitean accomplishment for anundergraduate.

From Painseville, OH, Lindsayand her only brother, Nicholas,both attend Ohio State and bothwill graduate in June 2010;Lindsay with a Doctor ofPharmacy degree and Nicholaswith a BS Degree in Biology.

Lindsay’s strong academicrecord ensured her a place in theEAP (Early Admission Program)at OSU. Scholarships and grantsenabled Lindsay to attend schooland she will likely seek aresidency in geriatrics aftergraduation. While at OSU shehas been active in studentgovernment (President ofAmerican Society of ConsultantPharmacists, Student Chapter)and in outreach programs likeGeneration Rx, an initiative aimedat increasing studentunderstanding of medicationsafety issues, in particular thedangers of abusing prescriptionand over-the-counter medications.

Lindsay’s expertise in the areaof geriatrics and her kind-hearted spirit will becomplementary attributes for acareer working with older adults.

Blake Toney, an Ohio State senior studying pharmacy, aspires to enter a two-year residency to specialize in infectious diseases.

ation

with a dramatically reduced debt load.

How did you select pharmaceutical sciences as your chosen field of study?

The more I researched it and thought about it, the more pharmacy made sense, as though it had been tailored to my interests

and goals. What better way to combine the desires of understanding our world through the lens of science and using that

knowledge to help others? Pharmacy practice integrates many of the sciences to create a new science geared toward the safe and

efficacious use of pharmaceuticals. Now that three years have passed, I have grown fond of this awesome institution. Ohio State

has fostered a fresh outlook on life, on education, and on what it means to pursue a profession that is a perfect fit. I love Ohio

this fine establishment.

What stands out the most about your Ohio State experience so far?

My highlight has been the transition from the Mansfield campus to main campus. The bigness of it all is breathtaking. When I rode

my bike through the Oval on the first nice day of spring, I hurriedly searched for the large body of water that was apparently

nearby, because I could have sworn that I rode right into the middle of a beach! Students were everywhere, with beach towels,

beach balls, the coconut aroma of sun

memory epitomizes the unique and diverse population that we have at Ohio State; our city-sized group of ambitious young people

fosters an unmatched learning environment.

As a recipient of financial aid, you know through experience how essential scholarships can be. Why do you feel

supporting students through donations is a worthwhile endeavor?

I am truly pleased that there are so many people who understand the importance of giving to students in need. These donors are

not only making an investment in the lives of the recipients, but also in our economy. I have a first-hand insight into the

importance of both the scholar and the pharmacist, who I am and hope to be, respectively. As with everything in life, both require

money. After I graduate, I plan to earn some of this for myself, but then later give back to those students who will perpetuate my

profession. At times I feel unworthy of the generous amounts of money I

citizen of this country, and that I will indubitably go on and do my part to stimulate the economy through my years of hard work

and tax dollars.

Describe your future professional goals.

At the beginning of my junior year, I was almost positive that I was going to become a community pharmacist, working in the

same setting I do now (I work as a pharmacy technician at a Rite Aid). However, I am increasingly certain that I want to enter a

two-year resid

this is just a phase. I presented data about this profession in a research paper, and it seems tailored to my strengths and

aspirations.
