RESEARCH& SCHOLARSHIPREPORT
“SCIENCE, FOR ME, GIVES A PARTIAL EXPLANATION FOR LIFE. IN SO FAR AS IT GOES, IT IS BASED ON FACT, EXPERIENCE AND EXPERIMENT.”
DR. ROSALIND FRANKLIN
1920–1958
2,186 STUDENTS30+ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
1 UNIVERSITY
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IS IN OUR DNA
The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS) is named for Dr. Rosalind
Franklin, the pioneering British researcher who captured “Photograph 51” of the “B” form of DNA
in 1952 while at King’s College in London. This photograph revealed the structure of DNA, the
key to understanding how the blueprint for every living thing is passed down from generation
to generation.
Today, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science carries on her legacy of inquiry,
diligence and academic excellence. Formed in 1912 as the Chicago Hospital-College of Medicine, the
university is a national leader in interprofessional medical and healthcare education.
OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
• Doctor of Medicine through the Chicago Medical School
• Doctor of Podiatric Medicine through the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine
• Doctor of Pharmacy through the College of Pharmacy
• Masters and doctoral programs through the College of Health Professions, including
nurse anesthesia, nutrition, physical therapy, pathologists’ assistant studies and physician
assistant practice
• Advanced biomedical degrees through the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
OUR MISSION
The mission of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science is to serve the nation through
the interprofessional education of health and biomedical professionals and the discovery of
knowledge dedicated to improving the health of its people. Today, the university is shaping the
future of health care through rigorous education, pioneering biomedical research and innovative
community service.
INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
At Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, we believe in breaking down academic
barriers. We take an interprofessional approach to education, so our students learn from and work
with peers in other programs from the beginning of their time here.
That’s especially important, as healthcare teams play an increasingly vital role in patient care.
At RFUMS, we prepare students for the future by integrating collaboration and teamwork into
education. Having more than 30 graduate health professions and science programs in one university
creates great opportunities to do that.
Additionally, each first-year student in our clinical programs takes the Foundations for
Interprofessional Practice course during the fall quarter. This class, which acts as the introduction
for an integrated interprofessional education experience, brings students from virtually all academic
programs together to learn from one another, get oriented to the culture of health care and start
interacting in small, interprofessional teams.

COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
The College of Pharmacy (COP) is the newest college at RFUMS and graduated its first class in 2015. The program focuses on exciting opportunities in a variety of career paths, including community pharmacy, health systems, industry, academia and public health.
As with other schools at RFUMS, interprofessional education separates the College of Pharmacy from other pharmacy programs. The rapid change in delivery of care is helping to drive the expansion of pharmacy’s scope of practice. From the first day, our students attend classes with peers studying other disciplines, and they learn from them along with the faculty.

We continue to be inspired by our university’s namesake,
Dr. Rosalind Franklin, especially in our research and
scholarship endeavors. The faculty and students of the
College of Pharmacy are excited to participate in the
university’s quest for new knowledge, highlighted by the
university’s motto, Life in Discovery.
These efforts are an important component of our
mission. We are pleased to see that research productivity
has increased in parallel to the overall growth and
development of the college since its inception. Through
independent and collaborative activities our faculty and
students contribute to the base of knowledge in disease-
targeted drug discovery, interprofessional education,
disease management, healthcare delivery, global health,
use of technology and more. The number of pharmacy
students exploring research opportunities continues to
increase each year, with several students establishing
ongoing, multi-year activities with faculty mentors.
Our strong representation at university research poster
sessions and at the All School Research Consortium,
our success in obtaining grant funding and our well-
attended Haim & Jane Nagirner Weinstein Symposium
Series are additional testaments to the emphasis the
college places on research and scholarship activities.
These efforts are the seeds from which an increasingly
robust program will continue to develop.
This is the third annual College of Pharmacy Research
and Scholarship Report, covering the academic year July
1, 2014 – June 30, 2015. The breadth, depth and range
of the college’s scholarly output is truly remarkable. We
are once again proud to present this report, reflecting
the efforts of numerous faculty and students.

PEER REVIEWEDPROFESSIONALPUBLICATIONS
When research and scholarship efforts produce interesting and important results, the scholar submits these
results for publication in scholarly journals. But before the results can be published, they must undergo rigorous
review by other experts in the field. Peer reviewed publications have met the standards set by these experts.
The following list of peer reviewed publications represents significant efforts from College of Pharmacy faculty
and students.

Scientists and scholars who have accumulated significant expertise and respect from their peers are often asked
to share their knowledge in the form of a book or a book chapter. Several College of Pharmacy faculty members
have contributed such works during the past year.
BOOKS, BOOK CHAPTERS & OTHER PUBLICATIONS
ABSTRACTS & PRESENTATIONS
An important aspect of the sharing of new knowledge is the presentation of that knowledge in oral or poster format.
This happens at regional, national and international conferences, and in the form of invited seminars. The College
of Pharmacy has produced an impressive list of such presentations, listed here.

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF HEALTH CARE
The College of Pharmacy focuses on opportunities in a variety of career
paths, including community pharmacy, health systems, industry, academia
and public health. Individual attention in a small class size, as well as
experience in a state-of-the-art patient simulation laboratory, puts
students at the forefront of modern pharmacy practice.
As with other schools at RFUMS, interprofessional education
separates the College of Pharmacy from other pharmacy
programs. The rapid change in delivery of care is helping to drive
the expansion of pharmacy’s scope of practice. From day one,
students collaborate in teams, learning about, from and with one
another’s profession, and how, together, they each impact the future
of health care.
EXCELLENT MEDICAL CARE IS THE PRODUCT OF A GREAT TEAM
We teach that patients are not only at the center of the model of care, but
also an active member of that team. Students learn that outcomes improve
through positive patient interactions and clear communication. During their
training, students sharpen those interactions, along with critical reasoning and
communication skills in simulation labs. Our program provides immunization
training and puts students in contact with actual patients early in their
first quarter.
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES
The RFUMS 97-acre campus is home to cutting-edge technology used
throughout the curriculum, and even has a Department of Healthcare
Simulation. Examples of advanced systems that RFUMS students use include:
Pharmacy Skills Lab: Dedicated to learning communication and technical
skills needed in the pharmacy field, this new lab gives students hands-on
experience in many areas of contemporary pharmacy practice such as clinic,
hospital or neighborhood pharmacy.
The Education and Evaluation Center: Students perform clinical
histories and patient assessments on standardized patients within this safe,
learner-centered environment.
The Simulation and Skills Lab: This is home to several full-body mannequin
simulators that can mimic dilating pupils, breathing and circulation. These
allow students to have realistic experiences on an interprofessional team in
a risk-free setting.
HANDS ON
FUTURES
Through experiential rotations, student pharmacists
learn the possibilities their degree has to offer.
