The Pharmacy Podcast #PharmacyFutureLeaders

Roads to Academia and Walmart Scholars

Guest: Jennifer Adams, PharmD, EdD

Senior Student Affairs Advisor at American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy

 

Jennifer Adams, PharmD, EdD, a graduate of Boise State University, Idaho State University, and The George Washington University is currently employed as Senior Student Affairs Advisor at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, providing leadership and oversight for association national student affairs activities including PharmCAS, PCAT, the Pharmacy Career Information Council, and student recruitment.

Everyone’s leadership road is different, let’s start with where you are today, and how you became a leader in AACP helping pre-pharmacy and pharmacy students with their futures.

When we talked earlier, you mentioned that if 10 academics were in a room, likely 8 of those had different paths to academia. What can you tell those who are looking for a career if the paths are so different?

How important is volunteering and precepting to a successful academic application?

What can you talk about regarding applying to pharmacy school academic positions and then maybe the actual process if appropriate?

I’d like to hear more about the Walmart Scholars program, I’ve heard of it, 85 $1000 scholarships, but I’d like as much detail as you can give us.

Who can qualify as a Walmart scholar? You mentioned a very rigorous selection process.

What does a scholar do and what is the mentor’s role?

Where can a student find materials on the program?

When is the next deadline, I think you mentioned February.

Why would someone apply to the program? Do they have to want to be in academia?

How would someone find out if they were selected?

Tell me a little bit more about what it’s like to be a Wal-Mart scholar at the AACP annual meeting, you mentioned it’s a badge label that carries significant recognition.

Can you tell me a little bit more about the meeting coming up in Nashville and what someone, student or practitioner can expect?

What preprograms and conference highlights do you anticipate having? E.g., junior faculty mentoring program, teacher’s seminar, publishing workshop . . .

Travel Vaccines

Guest: Elisha Andreas (email: [email protected])

Community Pharmacy Practice Resident

Elisha comments: “A true Iowa City native through and through.I am a 2016 graduate of the University of Iowa, College of Pharmacy and the Current PGY-1 Community Resident. My practice site is at the Hy-Vee DrugStore Pharmacy in Iowa City, IA where I spend my time in direct patient care activities such as travel clinic, enhanced patient counseling, smoking cessation and diabetes education, MTM, and immunizations. Community pharmacy has been a passion of mine since I was first exposed as a technician nearly 8 years ago. I thrive on direct patient education and building trusting patient-provider relationships. Outside of pharmacy, I enjoy exploring new restaurants with family and friends, as well as spending time with my dog, Samson.”

Everyone’s leadership road is different, let’s start with where you are today, and how you got into your current position.

How did you fit the aspects of choosing, applying for and visiting potential residency sites in your P4 year? Why did you choose Iowa and Iowa City community pharmacy residency specifically for your residency? 

How do you feel you became a leader/innovator at the University of Iowa and how the opportunities you had there helped you.

What exactly is a travel clinic? What did you / residency site preceptor have to do to get approval for this clinic? How is it going? 

What other clinical activities are you doing at HyVee? How can other pharmacists / pharmacies learn from what you are doing? e.g., biometric screenings, immunizations, MTM, diabetes

How does HyVee's central fill take off some of the dispensing role so that you can expand these services? What is it about HyVee that makes it a good place to perform these services (they invested in a resident, but besides that, does employee owned affect the way things go?) 

How does working within a multiple site residency program develop your skills and ability to provide these services?  What would you recommend students look for who are thinking about residency?

How does being so close to a research-intensive College of Pharmacy open opportunities for you and the travel clinic?

Are you doing the PEPPR program and how is that going? How do you interact with other residents in the program?

Industry Fellowship

Guest: Kellyn Moran (email: [email protected])

2015-2017 UIC Medication Adherence Fellow

 

 

Today we're going to be talking with Kellyn Moran, the 2015-2017 Medication Adherence Fellow sponsored by the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Takeda (Tuh Kay Duh) Pharmaceuticals. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2015 from the UIC College of Pharmacy. Throughout pharmacy school, Dr. Moran conducted qualitative research in patient safety at the UIC Department of Medical Education housed within the school of medicine.

She also contributed to community-based practice research aimed at improving the quality of care for vulnerable populations. Dr. Moran is interested in using outcomes research to improve medication adherence. Her current research interests include quality of care, pharmacy program evaluation and economic modeling.

Everyone’s leadership road is different, let’s start with where you are today, and how you got into your current position. 

1b. A lot of the dissatisfaction with some pharmacy jobs is the lack of being able to see progress, and through health outcomes research, it sounds like you can see how these patient populations progress.  

How did you fit the aspects of choosing, applying for and visiting potential fellowships in your P4 year? Why did you choose UIC?

How do you feel you became a leader/innovator and how did the opportunities you had there helped you. 

What exactly does a fellow do in their first year and their second year? How does that transition to a PhD? 

How is industry different than retail and hospital preparation, I know it’s a different world, but can you help describe that?

I went to Maryland an urban campus and you are in downtown Chicago, tell us a little about what it’s like to be in an urban center and the opportunities it affords.

Students know where to go in looking for community or hospital residencies, but where do you look for industry fellowships? 

What does it mean to be a researcher, I understand the concept in a broad sense, but what experience do you need in professional school to move that title forward? 

What blanket advice would you have for new graduates?

The pharmacy podcast is about the business of pharmacy. You’re a millennial and you and the pharmacy you work for have embraced social media as part of the business of pharmacy. I talked with you earlier about what people respond to in a smaller town of about 5,000. Can you speak to what events your specific population is looking for from your social media content?

Tell us a little bit about your local political aspirations when you return home.
