Editor's note: This is the second of five stories that will appear this week profiling KU's five new deans.
By Carlos Tejada
Kansas staff writer
He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska in 1975 and a doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1983. Between degrees, however, he and his brother, Gary, bought a pharmacy in Montross, Colo. There he said he learned that medicine was as much talking to people as treating people.
The patient comes first.
During that time, Fincham said, he realized the future in medicine lay in treating the patient, not treating the patient's illness.
Jack Fincham, KU's new Dean of the School of Pharmacy, comes to KU from Creighton University, but is no stranger to KU. He was born in Marysville.
After graduating from Minnesota,
Fincham was appointed to academic
positions at the University of Georgia,
the University of Mississippi, Sam-
ford University in Birmingham, Ala.
That has been Jack Fincham's philosophy, whether he was studying pharmacy or owning one. And as the new dean of the School of Pharmacy, Fincham said, he hopes to instill that philosophy into KU pharmacy students.
Fincham, who began his new job July 1, was born and raised in Marysville, a town of about 4,000. His father ran a drug store, but he himself did not get interested in pharmacy until college.
"The science is still there." Fincham said. "We need it. But we're also keeping the patient out in front."
Such beliefs are what led a search committee to hire Fincham, said Valentino Stella, distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry
"He brings a unique balance between scholastic recognition, concern for students and concern for the science of pharmacy," Stella said. "It's a nice balance of strengths."
and head of the committee. Stella said Fincham's school of thought was the direction modern medicine was moving into as interest in health care reform grew.
KU students should learn to think the same way if they wish to be com-
and at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. His previous job before coming to the University of Kansas was as an associate dean of pharmacy at Creighton.
"That's the greatest need we have in the school," he said. "We should show them how to help patients."
petitive in pharmacy's future, Finch said.
Fincham said recent curriculum changes had been made with that philosophy in mind.
And, he said, he has become attached to KU.
In his spare time, Fincham said, he likes to get out of the office and jog, ride his bicycle or play golf. He also doesn't fish as much as he would like to, he said.
Fincham said he was glad to return to his home state. In addition to his wife, Melinda, and his children, Derek, 15, and Kelcie, 12, Fincham spends time with his mother, brother and niece in Lawrence.
"This is a terrific school," Fincham said. "The faculty is energetic, and the quality of research here is tremendous."
Pharmacy Ph.D.s in six years
Pharmacy Pharmacy students receive new prescription
Pharmacy students who graduate from the University of Kansas will be required to complete an extra year of study beginning with the class entering KU in the fall 1996.
Some faculty also said a six-year program was essential because of the increasing role pharmacists played in patients' health care.
By Jennifer Freund Kansan staff writer
Currently, students may choose between earning a five-year bachelor's degree or a six-year doctor of pharmacy degree. The new program will require all graduates to have earned a doctor of pharmacy degree. Students now enrolled in the school are unaffected by the new requirements.
Some pharmacy faculty and students agree that the change to the six-year program is necessary.
"Those going into retail pharmacy will not be at an advantage with the six-year program," said Lynette Cousens, Wichita senior and pharmacy student. "The extra year would mean putting out the money without getting a return on it."
"The six-year program is a national trend," said Jack Fincham, dean of the School of Pharmacy. "In many parts of the country, it's been in place for years. Most California schools have had a six-year program for 30 years."
"Pharmacists are more accessible in the community than physicians," said Kenneth Audus, associate professor of pharmaceutical chemistry. "Pharmacists are playing a greater role in drug therapy and health care."
"They will have more information to share with patients, and they will do a better job," she said.
Students who enrolled prior to the fall of 1996 will be given the option of applying to complete the extra year for their doctorate. Audus said some students who had completed the five-year program already had begun applying to return to finish their doctorates.
However, some students are not as enthusiastic about the change.
But Cousens, who will complete her bachelor's degree, said she thought the program would be beneficial for hospital pharmacy students who deal with patients on a one-on-one basis.
"There are a lot of B.S. pharmacists out there who will want to come back," he said. "I don't think there will be a problem with that. This is occurring now, and the school is receptive to that."
Tuition also will increase $4,775. However, Fincham said that KU's tuition-still would be lower than tuition at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Ohio State University, the University of Michigan and Purdue, and would be comparable to tuition at the University of Illinois.
Finchah the available slots in the doctorate's program would be increased from 25 to 85 to accommodate the six-year program.
Fincham said that the costs for additional classes and faculty needed for the extra year would not burden the University, which has cut funding for other programs.
"The additional funding is coming from students," Fincham said. "We're not taking from anyone else."
"We made the program affordable to students while making sure the program was balanced with high quality," he said.
But Fincham said that the school had given consideration to students' finances.
