A Message from the Dean – James H UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Newsletter Fall 2015 A Message from the Dean – James H. McKerrow, PhD, MD Since our last Newsletter, we had a very productive and exciting summer at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The education of a new generation of pharmacy students is a key element of our mission. As a research- intensive school of pharmacy, we require all of our PharmD students to carry out a research project during their time with us. This summer we were very fortunate to have support from several investigators in the school, as well as from local institutes to initiate many of our students in research projects. In addition we hosted six students from pharmacy schools in Brazil who were supported by the CAPES program, a prestigious science fund of the Brazil government. We also hosted three high school students from San Diego County supported by funds from the ALSAM Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Skaggs family. The experience of the high school students at our school was so positive that the Director of their Science Institute visited with several other science teachers to meet and congratulate our three local mentors – Danielle Skinner, Stephan Meister, and Ruben Abagyan. Finally we are very pleased to welcome Christina Mnatzaganian, our newest faculty member, who will play a key role in the education of our pharmacy students. SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 1 Student News White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2019 By Kim Ciero The White Coat Ceremony for the new Class of 2019 took place on Friday, September 25, 2015 at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Dean James McKerrow gave a warm welcome to the incoming class as well as recognized our outstanding faculty and preceptors for all they do to contribute to the education and growth of the students and the school. He introduced the keynote speaker, our very own Charter Class Alumna, Dr. Shadi Vaccani. Dr. Vaccani spoke to the new class and their family members about the importance and the underlying symbolism of the White Coats they were about to receive in her talk titled, “Little White Cloak.” Dr. Candis Morello, Associate Dean for Student Affairs presented the 62 incoming students, 14 male and 48 female, by calling out their names as they came up one by one to have Dean McKerrow present them their coat. After posing for a photo with Dean McKerrow, the students then lined up to recite the Oath of a Pharmacist. The students and audience were then welcomed by our Associated Student Pharmacy President, third year student pharmacist, Mark Lin. Mark encouraged the new class to embrace the many educational opportunities available to them through our curriculum, student organizations and outstanding faculty. He also welcomed them to the student body. In conclusion Dean McKerrow invited the students and the audience to a reception held in our Health Sciences Education Center. SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 2 SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 3 SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 4 Training the Next Generation of Immunizers By Courtney Miller, P-2 With another flu season upon us, many patients are flocking to their local pharmacies to get their annual flu vaccine. Here at Skaggs, students are trained how to properly administer vaccines in their first few weeks of class during their first year as student pharmacists. This year was no different; the class of 2019 completed their immunization class Saturday October 3rd. Because immunization training is finished so early in the curriculum, student pharmacists have the opportunity to utilize their skills during their remaining years at Skaggs. So far student volunteers have delivered almost 500 flu vaccines this year. They are expected to deliver a few hundred more once the flu vaccine clinics begin at the student-run free clinics. This impact on the community would not be possible if not for the help of our lecturers, community volunteers, and student volunteers who helped to train the cohort of new student pharmacists. Trainers: Lecturers: Dr. Carolyn Szigethy Dr. Sarah Lorentz Dr. Lin L. Chen-Peng Dr. Sarah McBane Dr. Eduardo Fricovsky Dr. Nathan Painter Dr. Christina Mnatzaganian Dr. Jennifer Le Dr. David Bao Dr. Victoria Adams Dr. Renu Singh Dr. Elizabeth Rosenblum Dr. Elizabeth Vuong Dr. Larry Harker Dr. Sarah McBane Dr. Carolyn Jin Professor Panteha Kelly Great news! Our CSHP student chapter has won all three Student Chapter Community Service Project Awards in Tobacco Cessation, Asthma Education, and Poison Prevention Awareness! Hats off to our immediate past President, Sarah Brown and our 2014-2015 CSHP-UCSD executive board. Two SSPPS Student posters have been selected as Best Poster Finalist in the ACCP 2015 Global Conference in San Francisco: Elika Hefazi: “Metabolic Syndrome Monitoring for Inmate-Patients Prescribed Antipsychotic Therapy” Omeed Valipour: “Evaluation of Sedative Hypnotic Use Among Inmate-Patients at a Correctional Facility” SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 5 Diabetes and Hypertension Screenings for an Asian-Indian Population By Khushwinder Gill, P-3, Danial Husain, P-3 and Renu Singh, PharmD, BCACP, CDE Student pharmacists from the SSPPS offered their second annual health-screening event at the Sikh Foundation San Diego (SFSD) in Poway on Sunday, September 27, 2015. Danial Husain and Khushwinder Gill screened over 40 adult participants, many of whom were older adults and lacked regular medical care. Several older adults spoke Punjabi only, and were assisted by Khushwinder, a fluent Punjabi speaker. According to the World Health Organization, India has the highest number of people in the world with diabetes. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in urban areas of India is estimated to be 9%, and is rapidly increasing.1 Additionally, a meta-analysis review for prevalence of hypertension in India, documented 29.8% overall prevalence of hypertension from urban and rural parts of north, west, south and east India for ages ≥18.2 For this event each participant was offered a diabetes and hypertension screening. Guidance on nutrition, lifestyle modifications, including weight loss and daily exercise, and how to lower blood glucose and blood pressure (BP) was provided in both English and Punjabi. A color brochure was created by Khushwinder in both languages to assist participants in understanding normal and high blood glucose and BP readings, and explaining how Indian diets can be modified to reduce carbohydrates and saturated fats and increase vegetable intake to improve glycemic control. The brochure was very popular as it included a color photograph that showed how a typical Indian meal could be adjusted for a person with diabetes or pre-diabetes. While most participants knew that rice or sweets could raise their blood glucose, many were surprised to learn that fruit or potatoes could also raise their glucose levels. Two patients were advised to seek medical attention promptly for possibly undiagnosed diabetes while six patients were in pre-diabetes category. Nine patients were in the pre-hypertension category. Patients with at risk blood glucose and blood pressures readings were encouraged to exercise, reduce salt and or sugar intake, and follow-up with their primary care physician. It was also an excellent opportunity to remind participants of the importance of taking their medications regularly as prescribed, and to work with their health care provider if their glucose or BP was high. Overall, the event was a success with much gratitude Left to Right: Danial Husain and Khushwinder Gill - being expressed to the students and an invitation for the student Diabetes Screening pharmacists to extend the screening event to more locations in San Diego. We thank Dr. Singh for her guidance and preceptorship for this event, and the Pharmacy Practice course assistants (Adrienne Imada and Shirley Walker-Domingo) for the loan of screening equipment.

SSPPS 2015 Fall Newsletter | 6 Joseph Chen, P-4 Gives Oral Presentation of Research Findings at ICAAC Joseph Chen presented his research entitled "Population Pharmacokinetics of Lopinavir with WHO Weight Band Dosing - IMPAACT P1083" as an oral platform at the 2015 Intersciences Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy to a packed room in September. HIs findings represent a culmination of three years of effort, starting with a T35 award followed by dedicated persistence continued throughout his P2-P3 years. ICAAC is arguably the top annual ID research meeting in the world and only a very few of the abstracts submitted are selected for oral presentation. Joseph gave an excellent presentation of his findings and deserves kudos for his hard work and fine representation of SSPPS. CSHP-UCSD Hosts the Clinical Skills Competition By Justin Lin, P-3 This past September, CSHP-UCSD hosted its annual Clinical Skills Competition at UCSD SSPPS to select a team to represent the school at CSHP Seminar in San Diego, as well as ASHP Midyear in New Orleans. The Clinical Skills Competition is comprised of a patient case to analyze, as well as an oral presentation and a written pharmacists’ care plan. The competition requires students to apply their clinical knowledge, utilize resources, and practice their patient presentation skills. Students compete in teams of two, and were given a month to prepare for the competition. P-4’s Danielle Ishihara and Brittany Newton presenting to the judging panel The competition took place on the UCSD SSPPS campus on Saturday, September 12th. A total of ten teams signed up, and students from the P2, P3, and P4 class competed.

  • Skaggs/Scaggs/Skeggs
    ..., I 11-69 I SKAGGS/SCAGGS/SKEGGS No attempt has been made here to establish the earliest colonial generations of this Skaggs family. Many early Skaggs lineages constructed by researchers contain inconsistencies and are missing documentation. In an attempt to match up what has been written historically with what can be factually proven there appears to be some mixing of Skaggs families and/or generations. The research presented in "Skaggs," from Early Adventures on the Western Waters by Mary B. Kegley and F. B. Kegley is factual and falls short of claiming actual familial relationships. [See extract later in this compilation.] 1 A great deal has been written about the Skaggs families and about their exploits as Long Hunters and the enormous contributions they made in opening up the trans-Appalachian areas of Kentucky and Tennessee. 2 Combining the multitude of references to these early Skaggs individuals into cohesive family units is a daunting task. The challenge is complicated by the repetitiveness of given names coupled with the lack of records resulting from the primitive nature of the wilderness in which they lived. For example in the same area of early Virginia are found references to James Skaggs, James Skaggs, Sr., James Skaggs, Jr., James (Longman) Skaggs and Little James Skaggs. 3 Besides being Long Hunters some of the Skaggs men were Baptist preachers dedicated to establishing churches and bringing the word of God into the remote wilderness settlements. 4 There are few records of births or marriages among the early Skaggs families. 5 It may be that the ministers among them conducted the ceremonies and either failed to record the events or their records did not survive.

  • Merchants Go to Market
    CHAPTER 10 Merchants Go to Market November 2009 Mary A. O’Sullivan The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania 1. INTRODUCTION The period from the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the Depression was one of dramatic change in America’s retail industry. In 1885, mass retailers – department stores, mail order firms, and chains ‐‐ were of limited importance as a share of retail sales but, by 1930, they had emerged as the most powerful players in a sector that itself had grown much larger. Traditional retailers persisted, of course, even if they accounted for a decreasing share of the retail industry, but they too made important changes in how they did business, partly in reaction to competition from mass retailers, but also in response to broader changes in their environment. Overall, this was a period of great change in American retailing even if there is debate about the economic benefits of some of the developments that occurred. Retailers were rather late arrivals on the nation’s securities markets, making an appearance only in 1901 when department stores issued securities to the public for the first time. The early issuers were department stores in pursuit of consolidation and recapitalisation. However, in the mid‐teens, major financial problems at some of the leading players soured the markets’ appetite for department store securities. Other mass retailers issued securities, in some cases to raise growth finance and in others for recapitalisation and consolidation. Overall, however, securities issues played a rather limited role in the development of the U.S. retail industry through the end of the First World War.

    UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Newsletter FALL 2019 Pharmacy Board Results are OUT! Congrats SSPPS Class of 2019! Pharmacy board exam results are out! Congratulations to the UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy’s PharmD Class of 2019 for continuing SSPPS’s excellent performance: SSPPS scored the highest out of all California schools on both the NAPLEX (100%) and CPJE (tied with Western)! Our alumni are exceptionally well trained and educated as they enter their career into the pharmacy profession. Congratulations on yet another successful year! The NAPLEX, or North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination, measures a candidate’s knowledge of the practice of pharmacy. It is just one component of the licensure process and is used by the boards of pharmacy as part of their assessment of a candidate’s competence to practice as a pharmacist. The CPJE, or California Practice Standards and Jurisprudence Examination for Pharmacists, is an additional examination that the state of California requires for pharmacist licensure and is used within the state to ensure candidates have a strong understanding and knowledge of pharmaceutical law. SSPPS 2019 Fall Newsletter | 1 A Message from the Dean – James H. McKerrow, PhD, MD I have just had my second lunch with students of our P1 Class. I am again very impressed with how motivated and engaged they are in the diverse aspects of pharmacy education, and the high quality of their undergraduate experience.
