perspectives. Students also agreed thatgrowth came with their time abroad.

“The laboratory techniques andespecially the patience I procured willhelp me to become a more focusedscientist,” Joe Cross ’11 said, afterspending his summer at the Universityof Basel. “I think more importantlythat everything I did was a test to seeif I could venture out on my own. Ittaught me a crucial component of that:how to work independently without aninstructor standing over my shouldermaking every decision.”

And this independence is exactly whatis intended by study abroad programsat ACPHS, according to ProfessorDudley Moon and Associate ProfessorKevin Hickey, who started rotations inJapan and Switzerland respectively.

Since 2001, Moon has coordinatedfive-week internships for ACPHSstudents at Maruzen’s research and

development facilities. For more thanfive years, Hickey has overseen theSwitzerland rotations, during whichstudents work in hospital, retail andindustrial pharmacies as well as in aheroin clinic.

This past summer, ACPHS studentsspanned the globe for academicopportunities. While studying inAsia and Europe, students gainedvaluable professional, educationaland cultural exposure.

For the first time, ACPHS studentsspent summers studying at FudanUniversity in Shanghai and theUniversity of Santiago deCompostela in Spain. Students alsocompleted rotations at MaruzenPharmaceuticals and Showa

University in Japan and theUniversity of Basel in Switzerland.

In spite of language barriers andculture shock, students participatedin what they described as life-changing experiences.

“Aside from the lab experience, Iwas able to grow and learn in amore personal type of way,” saidJessica Phelps ’11, who spent hersummer in Spain. “I formed manyrelationships with other studentswho attended the university andwho came from various other partsof the world. From them, I learnedall different ways of life.”

Several students thought theirforeign experiences provided themwith more global academic,professional and social

Students Spend Summers in Europe and AsiaThe College’s new master’s degreeprogram in Biotechonology isenrolling its first students thissemester, and the inaugural classincludes a talented group of studentsfrom the Middle East.

Fourteen of the students in theprogram are from King SaudUniversity, the oldest university inSaudi Arabia. The KSU students havecompleted medical school and areexpected to return to Saudi Arabia tobecome demonstrators (lecturers).

The students come from a variety offields, including pediatrics, psychiatry,radiology, obstetrics and internalmedicine. After completing theirmaster’s degrees at ACPHS, they willcomplete international medicalresidencies and return to KSU tobecome faculty members and establishindividual research labs.

Hassan El-Fawal, chair of theDepartment of Health Sciences, saidthe “benchtop” experience is animportant component of the program,one which appealed to the KSUstudents. Students in theBiotechnology program will learnprinciples of research, moleculardiagnostics, drug discovery anddevelopment, medical ethics and

eventually choose faculty mentorsto oversee their thesis work.

“This is an opportunity to fosteranother international relationshipfor the College and to learnfirsthand from the Middle East,”said Dr. El-Fawal. “These studentswill receive well-rounded medical,scientific and cultural educations.”

The relationship with KSU wasforged by Vice Provost forResearch and PRI Chairman ShakerMousa, who has served as a visitingprofessor chair at KSU MedicalCollege for the past two years. Dr.Mousa said KSU wants its medicalstudents involved in moreinterdisciplinary research, and theschool sees ACPHS as a place thatcan provide students the necessaryresources, including facultymentors, for future career success.

“It is the beginning of a relationshipthat will help both institutions –offering opportunities not only forKSU students on our campus, butalso for our students to study atKSU,” Mousa said. “It alsorepresents another step inexpanding the College's globalfootprint and building awareness ofACPHS in other regions of theworld.”

Two KSU students, Ebaa Jastaniahand Lana Shaiba, said theirexperiences here will shape theirbedside manners and serve to makethem better doctors and professors.

“Getting a master’s degree in theU.S. is an opportunity to experiencea different culture,” Shaiba said. “Itmakes you think in a morecomprehensive way.”

Professor Shares Firsthand Account of Gulf Oil Spill

First-Year Student Blogs About His Long JourneyHoa Phan, a first-year Pharm.D. student, took the long way from

California to Albany. Phan, who grew up in Sacramento, said he

always wanted to go on a cross-country road trip.

“Attending ACPHS was the perfect excuse to travel,” said Phan, who

earned his B.S. degree in Biology from the University of California-

Davis.

Phan hit many destinations while on the road, including Seattle,

Mount Rushmore, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, New Orleans,

Washington D.C., and Arizona and sampled many local cuisines

along the way. The entire trip covered more than 5,000 miles.

“We met a lot of friendly locals who were willing to direct us on

what to see and where to eat,” he said. “We met a lot of people who

also shared their travels with us.”

“I decided to blog about my travels across country to show my

friends and family about the beautiful things they can experience

outside California,” he said. “I wanted to show them that life is an

adventure. Stop worrying about money and do something fun.”

By: Daniel d’Oney, Associate Professor

Department of Arts and Sciences

The first thing I noticed when I got back to

Louisiana was how everybody was extremely

focused but quite calm, in contrast to images in

the national media. Samuel Johnson once

stated “…when a man knows he is to be

hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind

wonderfully.” Truer words were never spoken,

and southeastern Louisiana knew it was up

against what all reports indicated would be a

disaster far worse than the Exxon Valdez. And

all of us were living in fear of a hurricane

pushing oil-laden water miles from the beaches

and into towns. To say that the calm masked an

extraordinary level of activity and interest

would be an understatement.

It was pretty amazing to see how everyone

leapt into action. State and parish officials

were extremely active in opening Mississippi

river floodgates to flush oil back down bayous

and out of lakes, pushing barges into formation

to form oil barriers, keeping fleets of skimming

boats operating, and taking other such

measures. No one ever gets comfortable with

natural disasters, but Louisianans have a long

history of hurricanes and the like sweeping in

from the Gulf, and generations of people

have survived by keeping their wits about

them and concentrating on the big picture.

Is the situation as bleak as some project?

Well, this is serious stuff but hardly the end

of the world. Several mitigating factors must

be borne in mind. First, just as there are

many types of cars, so are there many types

of oil. The oil that leaked into the Gulf was

“Louisiana light, sweet crude,” which is not

as toxic and degrades much more easily than

other types. Second is the intense heat of the

Louisiana summer, which combined with

microbes in the Gulf, is causing the oil to

decompose at rates higher than first

projected. Third was the hundreds of

skimming and filtering vessels operating

over the summer, including one massive

specially-designed vessel imported from

Saudi Arabia. Fourth, tropical storm Betsy

churned the Gulf in late July, spreading the

slick over a broad area and thus thinning it

but not pushing it onto shore; in conjunction

with microbes, intense heat and skimming

vessels, this storm was one of the most fortunate

things that could have happened.

So, yes, the situation is serious but we remain

guardedly optimistic. The western Gulf was

never closed for fishing and the eastern portion

is opening section by section as the seafood

continually tests negative for oil and dispersants.

As of now, the drilling moratorium is set to end

in November, about the same time hurricane

season ends. The apocalyptic predictions of the

media have not come to fruition and, God

willing and the levees don’t break, they won’t.

Dr. d’Oney is a Louisiana native who spendsmany of his summers on the Gulf Coastresearching the United Houma Nation.

You can read Hoa’s blog at http://barrowofbricks.blogspot.com,which is also linked from the home page of the ACPHS web site.

Along with its recent website redesign, ACPHS is expanding and improving in

other ways. We will be posting photos, event reminders and links of interest to

students through our new Facebook page. We will also be posting links to

student blogs, including Hoa’s, on the ACPHS home page. So stay in tune with it

all by “liking” our Facebook page and visiting the College website. We look

forward to interacting with you online.

If you’ve ever stepped into

Associate Dean for Students John

Denio’s office, you might have

asked, “What is that?” That’s

because Denio has a slide rule

mounted on his wall. In and of

itself, that might not be so

remarkable, but this particular one

is nearly six feet long, much larger

than the ten inch slide rule that was

part of many students’ lives until

the early 1970’s.

Slide rules are basically old style

calculators. They were developed

in the 1600s for multiplication,

division and logarithms.

When Denio first started working

on the ACPHS campus more than

30 years ago, the slide rule was

hanging on a blackboard in an old

O’Brien Building classroom. “At

one point during renovations, they

were going to throw it away,”

Denio said. That’s when he stepped

in and decided to keep it as a

display item.

Denio has taught and coached at

the College in different capacities

since 1976. He has held his current

position since 2001.

In his nine years as Associate Dean,

Denio has received a lot of

comments about the slide rule.

Students typically don’t know what

it is, but parents remember it, he

says. It even served as a

conversation piece at a recent 50th

reunion gathering. Denio says the

people who know how to use them

can solve math problems as quickly

and accurately as someone using a

calculator.

What’s onDean Denio’sWall? The Albany Nephrology Group,

a concentration of ACPHS

faculty specializing in the study

of the kidneys, continues to gain

recognition for its research and

scholarship activities.

Each of the faculty members of

the group – Magdalene Assimon

(Nephrology Fellow), George

Bailie, Katie Cardone, Darren

Grabe, Darius Mason, and Amy

Barton Pai – were involved in

research that will be presented

at the 2010 Renal Week

Conference, taking place

November 16-21 in Denver.

The annual event is hosted by

the American Society of

Nephrology, an organization

committed to preventing kidney

disease and making life better

for patients. The achievements

of the group (which is also

known as ANephRx) are

particularly notable in the high

the presenters at the event are

physicians, not pharmacists.

ACPHS faculty who assisted in

the development of the abstracts

include: Hassan El-Fawal, Arnie

Johnson, Tom Lodise, and

Nimish Patel.

Additionally, Dr. Barton Pai is

co-editor of the September 2010

issue of the National Kidney

Foundation journal Advances inChronic Kidney Disease.

The focus of the issue is

“Optimizing Pharmacotherapy

in Chronic Kidney Disease,”

and it is the first issue of the

Journal to be exclusively

dedicated to pharmacotherapy. It

provides insights into the

complexities of drug therapy in

patients with kidney disease –

from cutting edge drug

metabolism research to

outcomes that open up

opportunities for pharmacists to

provide direct patient care.

Both Dr. Cardone and Dr.

Mason contributed to the issue.

Dr. Assimon also co-authored a

review.

each topic. I would recommend the H.E.L.P.

program to new and experienced faculty alike.”

Looking forward, Drs. Strang and Baia hope to

offer the program again in the spring and

potentially open it up to faculty from outside the

College. The two hope that one day it might even

be required as part of faculty development at the

College and eventually gain wider recognition

among the larger higher education community.

“The rotation that I set up and coordinate hasbeen part of my larger project to make ACPHSmore global both for students studying here inAlbany and Vermont and for students who set offto study abroad,” Dr. Hickey said. “The BaselRotation has expanded from five to 12 weeks, andstudents have found that working for threemonths with professors and graduate students inSwitzerland is a rich and broadening experience.”

The College is working hardto develop more internationalopportunities for students. Infact, ACPHS is in the processof hiring a Director of GlobalInitiatives to help coordinateand advance the school’sinternational outreach efforts.“As the world becomesincreasingly more global, students withinternational experiences will be better positionedto work with and counsel people from differentethnic and cultural backgrounds,” says ACPHSPresident James Gozzo. “The College willcontinue to place a priority on buildingrelationships with international universities andorganizations, with the goal of providing moreopportunities for our students to study abroad, aswell as bringing more international students toour campuses.”

More recently, Fudan University officials visitedACPHS and invited the students from the Collegeto participate in an exchange. The Fudan rotationis now overseen by Pharmaceutical SciencesAssistant Professor Andy Zheng, who workedwith Pharmaceutical Sciences Associate ProfessorGail Goodman Snitkoff in launching the program.Zheng said the effort was motivated by an

American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy(AACP) initiative called Global PharmacyEducation, which encourages pharmacy colleges tooffer international pharmacy exposure.

And this exposure certainly isn’t limited toacademic and professional realms.

“I feel like it was the best decision of my life to goto China,” Jessica Wright ’11 said of her time at

Fudan. “I was submerged intothe culture by living there day-to-day instead of on a ‘touristy’vacation. Seeing the historyand famous points like theGreat Wall is what brought meto China, but it's the people andthe inspiring culture that willbring me back.”

In the near future, Fudan students might also cometo this campus for study and increasingly, therewill be more opportunities for studying abroad,including in places such as South America, Turkeyand southeast Asia. Liz Westcott has recentlycompleted ethnobotany studies in Peru andOsamah Awad will begin study this semester inIndia.

Teaching the TeachersAfter the academic year ended last May, about a

dozen ACPHS faculty members across both

campuses headed right back into the classroom.

But instead of teaching, this time they were the

students in a program designed to enhance their

knowledge and skills in various aspects of

teaching and learning.

The program, which is called H.E.L.P. (Helping

Educators Learn Pedagogy), was developed by

ACPHS faculty members Patricia Baia, Assistant

Professor of Arts and Sciences, and Aimee Strang,

Director of Pharmacy Practice Laboratories.

During the course of the six-week program,

participants analyzed different education-related

topics and then used this knowledge to refine their

own teaching processes. Each of the six modules

was offered online, with the “students”

encouraged to work in small groups or use

discussion boards to share information and ask

questions. At the conclusion of the program, the

participants met for two days of face-to-face

discussions and presentations.

Dr. Strang explains the origins of the program as

follows: “Most faculty members in higher

education are hired based on their degrees, their

specialties, their research accomplishments, etc.

But they don’t necessarily have expertise teaching

undergraduate students. The goal of the H.E.L.P.

program is to try to bridge that gap.”

At the two day session that concluded the

program, the energy level and enthusiasm in the

room was palatable. As each faculty member

presented a lesson that had been reworked to

reflect what they had learned, there were several

“aha” moments as things began to fall into place

and ideas were hatched for the future. The group

was further motivated by a keynote presentation

from Dr. Robert Bangert-Drowns, Dean of

Education at the University at Albany, who

encouraged the participants to rethink their

approaches in the classroom (both face-to-face

and distance learning).

“As a new ACPHS faculty member that is also

new to academia, I was looking forward to a

comprehensive faculty development program to

help enhance my teaching skills, and the H.E.L.P.

program fulfilled and exceeded all of my

expectations,” said Joanna Schwartz, Assistant

Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the Vermont

Campus.

“Most learning can be described as chaotic

problem solving. It’s like driving a car. You know

what the steps are, but that’s not actually how you

learn,” says Dr. Strang. “We typically organize

our textbooks and lessons in a manner that is

logical, but it’s not necessarily how students

learn.”

One might guess that such a program would be

intended for just new faculty members, but that’s

not the case. H.E.L.P. has

been designed to also

benefit seasoned faculty.

“Teaching and learning is

multifaceted and H.E.L.P

moves faculty to discover

the pedagogical,

psychological, and

educational components

involved in education. It is

clear faculty are teaching

and students are learning,

but are they doing it in the

best way possible?” asks

Dr. Baia.

“After nine years in an academic, tertiary care

hospital, I have learned many ‘truths’ about

educating adults. Drs. Strang and Baia put

together a strong curriculum that exposed me to

evidence based teaching and learning skills,”

said Jeffrey Brewer, a program participant and

Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice. “The

best part of the program was the cohort

approach with reflection and required discussion

that helped me to hear many different views on

The inaugural H.E.L.P. class (from left to right): Brian Cowles, Aimee Strang, JenniferCerulli, Gina Garrison, Shannon Miller, Jeanine Abrons, Jessica Farrell, Jeffrey Brewer,Jane Boyd, Joanna Schwartz, Sean Mirk, Sandra Winn, Leon Cosler, and Patricia Baia.

“The College will continue to

place a priority on building

relationships with international

universities and organizations.”- President James Gozzo
