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

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.

Alumni Cited in US Medicine Report

UT Alumni Shawn McFarland, Regina Cassidy, Julie

Wallace and Tim Morgan of The Tennessee Valley VA

Healthcare System (TVHS) were recently cited in an

article published in US Medicine regarding Clinical

Pharmacy services and telemedicine initiatives. TVHS is

one of many sites that have demonstrated tremendous

benefits from the integration of telepharmacy services. In

2012, McFarland and colleagues published a study

comparing the effect of telepharmacy on patients with

poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. Results showed

positive outcomes in achieving goal hemoglobin A1c

(HgbA1c). The full article can be found at

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.
