MUSCvolunteers takethe plunge

It’s a good thing David Geddingshas a great sense of humor.The fish circling his wetsuit, twining

through the tubing of his breathinggear seem not to bother him. Nor dothe 385,000 gallons of salt water inwhich he is immersed or the sharksthat swim above him, or even worse,the inquiring faces of preschoolersmassed outside the Great Ocean Tankof the S.C. Aquarium.

His job is not to bore them.By day, Geddings works in MUSC’s

Department of Pediatrics solving

various information technologyissues. On some weekends, though,he can be found volunteering at theaquarium trying to stay out of the wayof sharks and eels. He’s one of abouta dozen MUSC employees who havefound aquarium volunteer work to bevery satisfying.

Shawna Byrne, a psychometristwho works in MUSC’s DevelopmentalPediatrics, said her volunteer work asan aquarist assistant helps her pursuea longtime interest she has had inanimals. She ended up on a differentcareer path, but found volunteeringfeeding the fish and maintaining the

Pharmacy student’s involvement opens many doors

You could say in Lisa Murphy’s case, pharmacy is inher blood. Her grandfather was a pharmacist and

her father, store manager of a Walgreens.At age 15, when she started working at the store, she

set her sights on pharmacy as well.Murphy is one of four women selected at MUSC

to be honored as part of National Women’s HistoryMonth for women who exemplify leadership qualitiesand who make contributions in their fields. This year’stheme is, Our History is Our Strength, which Murphyhas found to be true through her female heroes.

She looks up to her mother and grandmother. Hermother inspires her because of her selflessness andhow she’s always looking for new ways to help others.Murphy’s grandmother, a nursing home care advocate,taught her the power that one person can have to makechanges. She tries to learn something new everyday andthat is something that Murphy would like to do as well.

Originally from Rock Hill, third-year pharmacystudent Murphy stays busy. As a student involvedin several organizations, student mentoring andvolunteering at Crisis Ministries, she juggles a hecticschedule.

Murphy said being involved in so many organizationshas opened many doors for her. “I think when newstudents come in it is important that they don’t justcome to school and leave but to get involved. You havethe ability to network and get to know people youwould have not met otherwise. Being involved has reallymade me enjoy my time here at MUSC.”

Murphy holds president positions in both theAcademy of Students of Pharmacy and StudentInterprofessional Society organizations. Murphy hashad the opportunity through the leadership society andstudent interprofessional society to speak at conferencesand at Interprofessional Day. She is also vice presidentof Phi Lambda Sigma leadership society and liaison for

the student society of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. She believes the president positionshave taught her about delegation and the ability to keepofficers motivated.

Murphy is appreciative of the many mentors whohave helped her through school and wants to giveback. “When I see people that I’m trying to mentorget to where they want to go, it makes me happy. If it’sencouraging them to run for an officer position andthen they achieve it or helping them study for a test andthen they do well, it makes me feel proud that I couldhelp them.”

Much of Murphy’s motivation comes from herparents. She said growing up they always taught herto remember wherever you go always remember youare representing someone. They told her to always doeverything to the best of her ability and bring a goodname to whomever or whatever she was representing.

Murphy believes her greatest strength is her work ethic.She tries to always work hard and do everything to thebest of her ability. This is something that she believeswill help her stay motivated to achieve her goals.

In the future, her goals include completing aresidency and working in academia at a university,teaching and mentoring. She wants to work as hard asshe can, learn as much as she can, and take advantageof every opportunity.

Liz O’Hara, a third year College of Pharmacy student,said Murphy is one of the most inspiring students sheknows.

“Lisa has talked me off several ledges and is alwayswilling to lend an ear in support, a word of advice whenneeded, and manages to balance a schedule that wouldrival Dr. Greenberg's. She helps students perfect theirpresentations, quizzes the first year students at lunch,and is the ‘go to’ person for both peers and professors.”

Dental Medicine’s first Scholars Day held Feb. 24showcased cutting-edge research in dental, oral

and craniofacial health and provided a platform forcollaboration, said event planners.

Dental students, graduate students, residents, postdoctoral staff and other participants enjoyed a daydevoted to science and focused studies in oral healthresearch at the James B. Edwards College of DentalMedicine’s Annual Scholars Day event. The eventtook place in several areas of MUSC’s campus and alsowas open to dental faculty administrative and clinicalstaff. The event was sponsored by MUSC’s Centerfor Oral Health Research (COHR) and the College ofDental Medicine’s (CDM) Department of CraniofacialBiology with help from the American Student DentalAssociation.

The event merged the efforts of the dentalschool’s student research day and table clinics withthe Department of Craniofacial Biology’s researchconducted by DMD-Ph.D. students and campuswideoral health-related graduate students and post doctoral-level investigators. Scholar’s day expanded to includea keynote speaker; more poster presentations in thejunior, senior, postdoc and junior faculty levels; plus alarge vendor show.

According to Keith L. Kirkwood, DDS, Ph.D.,associate dean for research, the event was established topromote science and showcase the level of oral healthresearch on campus. A lot of the campus’ growth inresearch was made possible by COHR and the NationalInstitutes of Health’s Center for Biomedical ResearchExcellence award that helped develop sustainable oraland craniofacial research at MUSC. “We felt this year’sevent was a great start in recognizing some amazingresearch and people on campus. We hope this is thefirst of many successful scholars day events to come.”

The day’s keynote address was given bydental researcher and educatorRena D’Souza, DDS, Ph.D.,professor and chair of BiomedicalSciences, Texas A&M University,Baylor College of Dentistry.D’Souza, who is vice presidentof the American Association for Dental Research,addressed a standing room crowd about the value oftranslational research in dentistry.

Dental Medicine Dean John J. Sanders, DDS, saidthat Scholars Day allows the college to honor the workof outstanding students, residents and postdoctoralstudents. “Our goal is to make this an informative,inspiring and educational day for everyone,” he said.

About 30 third-and fourth-year dental studentsparticipated in the junior category. Table topicsresearch ranged from the use of music to reduceanxiety in pediatric dental patients to studying bondingmaterials for porcelain repairs. Awards were given tofirst, second and third place winners. The category’stop winner will compete in the student clinical researchprogram at the American Dental Association-Dentsplymeeting in the fall.

“We wanted to select research that was pertinent totoday’s needs in dentistry,” said Brittany Bare, a third-year dental student who, along with fellow studentApril Kemp, explored the most effective bondingmethods used to repair ceramic crowns. They concluded

that the use of etch-silane bonds were thebest. The experience was both Bareand Kemp’s first time conductingdental research with them findingthe experience to be rewarding.The curriculum requires third-yearstudents to complete a table clinics

course that prepares them for dental research.In the event’s senior, postdoc and junior faculty

categories, about 30 teams and individuals competed,representing nearly 30 labs focused on oral healthresearch in the poster presentations. Cash awards weregiven for first ($500), second ($250) and third place($100) winners.

“This is an exciting day for research, our dental

students and all campus participants in this effort,”Sanders said.

Asurge of patients with unknownsymptoms rush into the emergency

room waiting area demanding immediatetreatment. Commotion ensues making itdifficult to hear and gather information,all the while two mannequins simulatingpatients with severe injuries ominouslylie across chairs waiting to be assessed.Time is of the essence for exerciseparticipants, and patient lives are on theline.

This scenario was part of a disasterpreparedness training exercise thatseveral College of Medicine (COM)students and a representative from thelocal Veteran’s Hospital Association (VA)experienced at the end of last monthto test management and triage skillspreviously learned. Participants had six

minutes to mitigate the scene, categorizepatients according to their level of injuryand gather information about the eventitself. Participant response and recoveryefforts were captured in real time andused in debriefing with the assistance ofcameras in MUSC’s Simulation Center,located in the College of Nursing, and acrew of experts in disaster medicine.

“It was an incredible opportunity tobe exposed to disaster training in a waythat you probably wouldn’t have seenotherwise,” said Steve Martin, COMfourth-year student. “Hopefully, we’llnever have to use it, but it does createpreparation.”

The ultimate goal of this exercise is todemonstrate the feasibility of a disastertraining course with a realistic, simulatedhospital disaster. A short-term goal ofthis exercise is to assist the VA in thedevelopment of a national educational

standard and curriculum for emergencypreparedness training, which currentlydoesn’t exist. This training focuses notjust on emergency responders, such asEMS and firefighters, but also on thosewho receive and treat wounded patients.

MUSC and the VA, along with fiveother hospitals and the CharlestonMetro Chamber of Commerce who

also are part of this training responsenetwork called the Center for HealthProfessional Training and EmergencyResponse (CHPTER ), are looking to seeif technology-rich curriculum can actuallysave lives.

“CHPTER is a communitywidephenomenon,” said Lancer Scott, M.D.,

tanks and salt marsh lets her get her animal fix.It’s educational as well.“I’ve learned to keep my fingers away from the turtles’

mouths,” she said, smiling. “It’s a way to give back tothe community. It adds some variety to day-to-day life.It keeps things a little more interesting. I sit downall day at work. Here, it’s more active on my feet andgetting my hands dirty and smelly. The fish here arevery well fed.”

Byrne, who said she can’t be squeamish to do herjobs, particularly enjoys arriving early before theaquarium opens, when it’s peaceful. She has learnedmuch more about sustainable seafood and the role shecan play in conservation. The other part she loves abouther job is interacting with the public.

“Feeding is my favorite job. It’s the most funinteracting with the fish. It’s fun interacting with thevisitors. Little kids are funny. They’re so amazed.”

Kate Dittloff, public relations manager for theaquarium, said the volunteers outnumber theaquarium’s paid staff by a 3-to-1 ratio. More than 300volunteers give an average of 45,000 hours each year.

“They can be found in every part of the aquariumworking alongside paid staff, educating andentertaining visitors, feeding our collection, cleaninghabitats, tending the sick and wounded in our hospitaland helping out in the offices. Simply put, we wouldnot be in business without our volunteers.”

Geddings, who has been a diver for nine years, saidit’s a win-win situation for him. He gets to have fundiving and keep up his skills and be an ambassador forthe aquarium and conservation efforts.

“You play with all the animals. We’re here divingwhen it’s 23 degrees outside and everyone else has hungup their diving gear until spring.”

It’s a big commitment for divers, who report twodays a month for a full-day shift. The tank has 750fish with about 55 species. Geddings has learned mostof them. He especially likes the loggerhead sea turtle,who’s lovely, but not that bright. He misses Ozzie andHarriet, puffer fish who have passed away, and a blindcobia who used to be led around by other cobia, whoknew she needed help, he said. They would steer her

away from the walls and the sharks when they were inaggressive moods.

Divers get to know the moods of the sharks andalways swim in pairs. Geddings had his first closeencounter on a check-out dive when he was performingan emergency ascent that requires the diver to put armsabove the head and surface quickly. Unfortunately, forGeddings, he plowed straight into an eight-foot sandtiger.

“She didn’t even budge. She kept on her merry way.”It was quite the initiation dive, he said. He recalls

other times when he’s been vacuuming the floor andhad the tiger sharks flank him, making a diamond

pattern. Visitors try to help him, frantically motioningfor him to look behind to see the sharks all around.Geddings, who’s used to coming head-to-head withthem, said fortunately they are well trained. He has toremind himself of that when he’s in the Atlantic divingand comes across sharks who don’t know him.

What he worries about more than the sharks are theeels, who are blind and nocturnal.

“They just bite at a space, so I have to keep my eyeson them. Their teeth are inverted, so if you pull back,you’re helping them.”

The nurse sharks Geddings describes as mischievous.They don’t have to stay moving to keep water overtheir gills. “You’ll be down there doing feedings, andthey just come and flop down on your feet and getany food other fish have left behind. They’re like littledustbusters.”

Like Byrne, he enjoys interacting with people andoften gives community talks about the aquarium. Heespecially likes hosting the dive shows, educating peoplewho literally come from around the nation and world.

He feels he’s giving back and enjoys going out intothe community to teach about the animals. He said hisdepartment at MUSC believes in being active with theTrident United Way cause and encourages volunteerwork, so the aquarium work fits nicely with that goal.

“I feel I’m giving back. I like to volunteer, to help out.I’m like part of the staff here. We’re kind of like theirambassadors now. We’re always talking it up. It helps todrum up the interest. Without people, there would beno aquarium.”

He never knows when his talk will keep a plasticbag from polluting the water or raise consciousness onother issues that affect the quality of marine life. “Theworst stream ends up somewhere.”

professor and CHPTER director. “It’sseven hospitals working together toprovide disaster training for patientproviders, not just physicians and nurses,but to anyone that would throw ablanket over a patient during a disaster.”According to Scott, this training showsactual performance, not just knowledgeof disaster medicine.

The need for training such as thisis great. South Carolina was given agrade “C” for disaster preparedness by

the American College of EmergencyPhysicians due primarily to the lownumber of nurses that receive training.Charleston has additional vulnerabilitiesto terrorism being a port city.

On March 13, CHPTER will helptrain approximately 20 subject matterexperts from the VA. This will hopefullylead to further demonstrations,construction of a national standard foremergency preparedness training andthe application of training to nationwideproviders.
