E-NEWSLETTER OF THE
NATIONALLY RANKED
UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO
COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND
PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES
Pharmacy agreement signed with Al-Zaytoonah
Private University of Jordan
The College of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences recently
advanced its relationship with Al-
Zaytoonah Private University of Jordan
by signing a memorandum of
understanding between both schools.
The agreement includes faculty
exchanges and research collaborations.
The signing event was the college’s first
virtual agreement signing and took place
via teleconference, with large screen
projections bridging the distance
between two continents. Faculty
members and administrators from both
institutions spoke at the event, including
Chancellor Jeffrey Gold and Dean
Johnnie Early from The University of
Toledo and Dean Ghassan Abu Sheika
from Al-Zaytoonah. Dr. Amanda Bryant-
Friedrich, who manages the college’s
communications with Al-Zaytoonah,
hosted the event.
“The signing of this agreement with Al-
Zaytoonah makes official a wonderful
relationship that has developed over the
past years through the development of
shared goals and a commitment to
excellence in the pharmaceutical
sciences,” said Bryant-Friedrich. “We are
very much looking forward to continued
growth and prosperity at both institutions
through this agreement.”
Last fall, Al-Zaytoonah’s dean, Ghassan
Abu Sheika, visited The University of
Toledo and embarked on research
projects with faculty members in the
College of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Dr. Bryant-Friedrich is also organizing
the 2014 International Pharmaceutical
Conference, co-sponsored by the
College of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Al-
Zaytoonah’s faculty of pharmacy. The
first conference co-sponsored by these
institutions, held in fall of 2012, was very
successful and brought international
exposure to both institutions as well as to
the practice of pharmacy and
pharmaceutical science research.

Cosmetic science program welcomes industry leaders to campus
Students in the Cosmetic
Science major of the
B.S. in Pharmaceutical
Sciences program were
able to meet and learn
from some notable
industry leaders in
February 2014.
Mark Chandler ,
president of Adaptive
Cosmetic Technology
Solutions, led five
seminars on topics
ranging from surfactants
in cosmetics to research
opportunities in the
cosmetic industry. Perry
Romanowski of Brains
Publishing discussed
cosmetic product
development for
shampoos and
conditioners.
The seminar series
continues in March and
April, with presentations
on product formulation
and packaging.
The seminars are free
and open to the public.
Members of the faculty and administration of Al-
Zaytoonah Private University of Jordan participated
in the agreement signing via teleconference.
Real The Real World
Advanced Pharmacy
Practice Experiences
(APPEs) do more than just
provide an educational
experiences for PharmD
students. Many students
determine the direction of
their careers based on
these rotations. Rotation
sites such as Barney’s
Pharmacy in Augusta,
Georgia and National
Community Pharmacists
Association in Alexandria,
Virginia have offered UT
pharmacy students unique
experiences and career
opportunities.
The National Community
Pharmacists Association
(NCPA) is an organization
that represents the nation’s
23,000 independent
community pharmacies as
well as the pharmacist
owners, managers and
employees of these
pharmacies. Headquartered
in Alexandria, Virginia,
NCPA is a legislative voice
for community pharmacies.
This year, P4 student Kevin

Day will complete a rotation
at NCPA with preceptor
Whitney Cowart, PharmD,
associate
director of
management
and student
affairs. Day,
who has a
deep interest in
independent pharmacy and
leadership opportunities,
was selected from a pool of
applicants from across the
country to complete this
rotation. He had been
interested in starting a
student chapter of NCPA at
the College of Pharmacy
and Pharmaceutical
Sciences and took the idea
to the Pharmacy Student
Council.
About this opportunity, Day
says, “The rotation will
hopefully offer me a chance
both to network with the
largest associations of
independent pharmacists,
one of the largest
associations of pharmacists
in general actually, and
learn about how their
organization is run and
what they offer to the
profession of pharmacy. I
hope to see where
independent pharmacy is
now throughout the nation
and understand where it is
going in this changing
landscape.”
Andrew Hochradel,
PharmD ’12, is director of
Specialty Pharmacy
Services at Barney’s
Pharmacy. As a UT
student, he enjoyed his
rotation at Barney’s so
much that he now works
there and has become an
APPE preceptor for the site.
He initially read about
Barney’s Pharmacy in The
New York Times. Dr.
Hochradel was attracted to
this independent pharmacy
because of the innovative
patient care services
offered there. “Even more

Symposium June 2014
On June 22, 2014, the
college will celebrate the
20th anniversary of
the Center for Drug
Design and Development
(CD3) under the
leadership of
Distinguished
University Professor Paul
Erhardt. Led by the
Department of Medicinal
and Biological Chemistry,
the college will hold a one-
day symposium to
celebrate the
achievements of Dr.
Erhardt.
Faculty members and
professionals are invited
to give technical
presentations as a part of
the symposium. These
talks should be designed
for an audience familiar
with the fields of medicinal
and biological
chemistry. All are
welcome to attend.
The department is also
accepting contributions to
support this symposium.
To contribute to the
celebration in the form of
talent, expertise or a
monetary contribution,
please contact Dr. Bryant-
Friedrich or Dr.
Tillekeratne so that you
can be included in the
program.
This celebration of the
CD3 will begin with a
lecture to be delivered

surprising, said Dr.
Hochradel, “is that there is
a successful business
model behind partnering
with patients to improve
their health. And as a
student, I was involved at
every level.”
The range of different
services provided at
Barney’s includes
specialized compounding,
MTM, immunizations,
medical supplies and
equipment, patient support
groups, chair aerobics,
bingo, wellness classes,
biometric screenings, long
term care consulting, and
specialty pharmacy
services. In the past year,
Barney’s Pharmacy also
partnered with the CDC to
offer HIV screenings.
Additionally, Barney’s
Pharmacy hosts two ASHP/
APhA-accredited PGY-1
Residencies. The residents
lead daily topic discussions
that help reinforce clinical
knowledge. Dr. Hochradel
mastered diabetes and
insulin dosing, among other
subjects, during his
Barney’s Pharmacy
rotation.
Ultimately, what he really
enjoyed about his rotation
at Barney’s Pharmacy was
the family-owned
environment and high-touch
service culture.
“At an independent
pharmacy,” he says, “you
get to experience the day-to
-day decisions that need to
be made to provide
excellent patient care and
run a business. I joined the
Barney’s Pharmacy family
after graduation and was
appointed
director of
Specialty
Pharmacy
services. I
am excited to navigate this
new opportunity and be
involved with the all of the
specialty medications
coming out of the pipeline.
Also, as a prestige clinical
instructor for the College of
Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences, I
am looking forward to
sharing my Barney’s
Pharmacy experience with
future pharmacists.”
Hochradel was featured in
the February 2014 issue of
UT’s alumni magazine.
For both Day and
Hochradel, an APPE
rotation experience set a
path toward a meaningful
career.
