C O L L E G E P R O G R A M S GRADUATE PROGRAM Dr. Vaughn Culbertson & Hemant Phatak, a graduate student, review the findings of their research project. PHARMACY ADMINISTRATION The pharmacy administration graduate program remained very active during the 1999-2000 academic year. A total of 11 students were enrolled in graduate courses, seven of which are seeking the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Students successfully completed several research projects, resulting in publications and presentations at national and international scientific meetings and special recognition for a M.S. graduate, Vijay Joish. Mr. Joish’s paper received an Outstanding Presentation Award at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research meeting in Washington D.C. in May. The mission of the graduate program is to advance research related to the enhancement of safe, effective, and efficient pharmaceutical health care. Students and faculty are actively involved in a broad range of research projects, including the study of depression in the elderly, quality of life resulting from therapeutic treatments, pharmacoeconomic analyses of drug therapies, methodologies to enhance professional education, and patient satisfaction with professional services. Students enrolled in the pharmacy administration emphasis area of the graduate program are as follows: M.S. Students: Raquel Jex, B.S., Rajesh R. Mehta, B.S., Hemant M. Phatak, B.S., and Kenna C. Wheeler, B.S. Ph.D. Students: Donelle E. Airmet, Pharm.D., M.S., James C. Frost, M.B.A., Majorie L, Hill, M.S. , Balasubramaniyam Nadesan, M.B.A., M.S., Kalind V. Pradhan, M.S., Nancy L. Renn, M.S., and Shubhada Patil, M.S. With the addition of newly accepted applicants, the graduate program in Pharmacy Administration continues to grow in size and recognition. PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is the state's program for postgraduate education in the pharmaceutical sciences (pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, cancer biology and immunology, regulation of cardiovascular and respiratory function, biochemical pharmacology and toxicology, neuropharmacology, signal transduction, new drug design and synthesis, and biopharmaceutical analysis). The mission of the department’s graduate program is to train and motivate our students to succeed in their chosen career path through a broad based, multidisciplinary program. Drs. Eric Jarvi and Leslie Devaud coordinated the graduate program’s pharmaceutical sciences emphasis area for the 1999- 2000 academic year. Candidates enrolling in the Master of Science and Doctorate programs must meet all requirements for admission to the ISU Graduate School and have an adequate background in the biological and physical sciences. The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences’ 12 full-time faculty generate research support from diverse sources such as the University Research Committee, Faculty Research Committee, the State of Idaho, National Science Foundation, American Heart Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and private industry. The department occupies research space in Leonard Hall and has access to modern research instrumentation including phosphorimaging, fluorescent and densitometric imaging, light and electron microscopy, differential scaning calorimetry, high pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and fourier transform infrared spectrometry The department also has instrumentation for and expertise in nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, enzyme linked immunosorbant assays, electrophoresis, radioimmunoassays, radioligand binding or uptake assays, cell culture systems, cell fractionation, development and characterization of submicron particulate systems, 20
C O L L E G E P R O G R A M S metabolism, molecular biology and laboratory animal behavioral studies. The department continues to expand its research activities, including collaborations within and outside of our department and university. We currently have 13 students enrolled in the pharmaceutical sciences emphasis areas of the college of Pharmacy graduate program: John Beck, Ritu Chadda, Shane Hanson, Carrie Mosher, and Swathi Pinnamaneni are in the Masters program. Luna Bennett, Cassandra Luce Hanson, Launa Lynch, Gaurangi Malthankar, and Alaba Ogunbadeniyi are in the Doctoral program. Tracy Becker, Joy Olbertz, and Brenda White are combined students, enrolled in both the professional Pharm.D. program as well as the graduate program. Luna Bennett, Cassandra Hanson and Alaba Ogunbadeniyi passed their comprehensive examinations and advanced to candidacy during the year. The departmental faculty have continued to revise and expand graduate course offerings. We also are continuing to increase recruitment materials to include a web page. Efforts continue to obtain additional state-supported graduate student stipends. AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH The Idaho State University College of Pharmacy Nontraditional (NonT) Doctor of Pharmacy program has entered into a collaborative clinical training agreement with the University of Utah College of Pharmacy. The intent of this agreement is to allow licensed pharmacists who are residents of and practicing in the state of Utah access to ISU’s NonT program using University of Utah College of Pharmacy clerkship sites. Utah-based students will first complete the standard 28 semester credit hours of coursework through ISU at the non-resident tuition rate. The coursework is taught using a combination of videotapes, interactive Internet-based case studies, detailed outlines, and textbooks. Each course has an assigned instructor who is available to students via telephone for questions or assistance. The experiential portion of the program (28 credit hours of clinical clerkships) will be completed under the auspices of the U of U College of Pharmacy at their approved clinical training sites. ISU will confer the Doctor of Pharmacy degree to those students that successfully complete the program requirements. ISU’s Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy program coordinated by Drs. Vaughn Culbertson and Catherine Heyneman is one of the largest and most respected external Pharm.D. programs in the country. Approximately 170 students currently enrolled in the NonT program are working pharmacists who recognize the value of enhancing their clinical skills and knowledge base. Since its establishment in 1989, more than 150 students have graduated from ISU's NonT Program, and two of its alumni are now assistant professors at other colleges of pharmacy. 21
