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: Elisha.Andreas@gmail.com)
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: moran3@uic.edu)
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?

Everyone’s leadership road is a little different; tell us what you are doing now and how you got there.
Tell us a little bit about your current APPE rotation, we have an elective non-clinical APPE rotation here at DMACC, what’s your current rotation like?
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.
As mayor, you decide to tweak the shop small campaign to "shop small, sell big" meaning that not only is it important to buy in town, but that the area businesses work together through social media letting those outside of town know about what Winterset offers.

Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network, I’m your cohost Tony Guerra for the #PharmacyFutureLeaders podcast broadcasting from Ankeny, Iowa.
We’re going to talk with innovative new pharmacy practitioners and soon to be pharmacy graduates.
I’ve gotten a lot of emails from prepharmacy and new graduate students about decisions they are making right now, feel free to connect with me on Twitter at Tony underscore Pharm D or subscribe to my YouTube channel at TonyPharmD where you can find over 700 videos on drug pronunciation, memorization, and the Top 200 that support my audiobook Memorizing Pharmacology.
If you’re a P-3 going to ASHP Midyear 2016, make sure to link your leadership accomplishments on Twitter to hashtag Pharmacy Future Leaders we’ll be providing a stipend for one student registration. We’ll announce that person on October 28th, 2016
Anna comes to Kelley-Ross Pharmacy Group from NuCara Pharmacy in Pleasant Hill, Iowa where she served as an entrepreneurial pharmacy intern as part of Drake College of Pharmacy and Health Science Delta RX. Additionally, she served as a curricular development assistant for the pharmacy technician program at Des Moines Area Community College.
Anna grew up in Menasha, Wisconsin and graduated in May, 2016 with her Doctor of Pharmacy degree along with her Master’s in Business Administration from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. As a student, Anna served as president of Drake’s National Community Pharmacists Association Student Chapter and was an active member of Phi Delta Chi Professional Pharmacy Fraternity.
Everyone’s leadership road is different, let’s start with where you are today, and how you got into your current position?
Discuss how you first felt you became a leader at Drake University and how the opportunities you had there helped you. I think we first talked about NCPA and Phi Delta Chi and a summer internship.
The more I talk to students, the more I’m finding the activities they do outside of their regular classroom are the ones that are leading them towards the most satisfying opportunities. You seem to be a magnet for awards and opportunities, can you talk about winning that award for your P4 year and the other opportunities you had?
What activities are you doing at Kelly Ross Pharmacy Group? You mentioned some exciting work with keeping patients with cardiovascular conditions out of the hospital.
Washington State is gearing up for January provider status, can you tell us what Kelly Ross is doing to move forward with that opportunity?
My wife completed her community pharmacy residency at an excellent program at the University of Iowa and landed a very clinically focused job working at the VA hospital. I think many of our listeners are familiar with the residency match, but some very good residencies are outside the match including some community residencies, can you explain how you chose which residencies to apply to in and outside of the match?
What blanket advice do you have for the many residency hopefuls as they descend on New Orleans on October 15 to 19, 2016 for NCPA and Las Vegas this December 4th through 8th for ASHP?
