The Experiential Education Team

As class size grows and the College considers expanding to an additional campus in Phoenix, the experiential team also needed to expand.
Rebecca Malone, PharmD (520) 626-4506
Coordinator, Experiential Education
Dr. Malone joined the team in July of 2006. She has been a great addition to the team. Her main function is to prepare the third students for rotations. She has greatly enhanced the content of PhPr 895b "Preparation for Rotations" re-focusing the content on competency development. We try to review the essentials components of pharmacy practice; communication, reviewing charts, rounding etiquette, writing notes, etc.
Rebecca also created the rotation schedule for the Class of 2008. She spent over a month reviewing requests from preceptors and students, meeting with students to discuss career goals, and creating new site contracts. The result is the current schedule. You can probably imagine that creating a schedule with 560 rotations is not easy, but Rebecca did an outstanding job.
Jamie Joy, Pharm.D (623) 512-5865
Director, Experiential Education - Phoenix
Although the plans for a Health Science Campus in Phoenix are still in the planning stages, Dr. Joy is off and running as the Director of Experiential Education for Phoenix sites and students. Her main function is to support students completing clerkships in Maricopa County. Jamie started in January of 2007. Since her arrival, she has been meeting with as many preceptors as possible trying to understand the needs or our current sites and develop new ones. Jamie is the key contact for anyone in Maricopa County.
Jamie is developing a series of programs (health fairs, public seminars) for next year. Each program will be lead by a team of students completing rotations in Phoenix. The goal is to ensure everyone in Maricopa county understand the value of Pharmacy. If you would like to be involved, please contact Jamie directly.

Administrative Assistant, Experiential Education
Lynda is the backbone of the program. She has been part of experiential education since 1999. Those of you know Lynda, know that if you need anything, she is the best resource. Her main function is to ensure that program runs smoothly. No small task. The amount of paperwork involved from registering students, organizing immunization records, submitting hours to the state board, and processing new preceptor paperwork is monumental. Yet, Lynda does it all with a smile.
