On this episode of White Coat Radio, we're joined by Dr. Kelly Covert, Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice at East Tennessee State University Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy. She precepts third- and fourth-year student pharmacists, as well as pharmacy residents, on an adult medicine rotation at Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC). Dr. Covert is the college's PGY2 Residency Program Director. In this episode she discusses a day in the life of her practice site at JCMC, as well as tips for rotations and pursuing a residency.   Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:25:03 Kelly Covert If I have a student who can see a problem and try to to learn how to solve that problem, if they can see a med they're not familiar with and go look it up and tell me what they found versus me having to ask them to do that. I think that's the mark of someone who's going to really excel in their pharmacy career 00:00:55:12 - 00:01:18:12 Michele Williams Welcome to White Coat Radio, a podcast from East Tennessee State University. Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy in Johnson City, Tennessee. Each episode we cover a wide range of topics about the pharmacy school experience, from study tips to deep dives with faculty and student pharmacists. I'm one of your host doctor Michelle Williams, assistant professor and director of academic success. 00:01:18:15 - 00:01:50:05 Stephen Woodward And I'm Stephen Woodward, marketing and communications manager. Today we welcome Doctor Kelly Covert, associate professor of pharmacy practice, who joined Gatton faculty in 2016. She precepts third and fourth year student pharmacists, as well as pharmacy residents on an adult medicine rotation at Johnson City Medical Center. Doctor covert is a 2014 graduate of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Pharmacy, and completed her pharmacotherapy residency at the Medical University of South Carolina from 2014 to 2016. 00:01:50:07 - 00:01:57:19 Stephen Woodward At Gatton she serves as a PGY2 internal medicine residency program director. Now let's get to our interview. 00:01:57:21 - 00:02:00:01 Michele Williams Welcome to White Coat radio, Dr. Covert. 00:02:00:02 - 00:02:02:13 Kelly Covert Thank you. I'm excited to be here. 00:02:02:15 - 00:02:23:06 Michele Williams So, I'll get us started. You teach a number of courses here, at the college. And you're the course coordinator for the pharmacotherapy two course. Which students take in spring of therapy two year. What makes this course challenging for students, would you say? 00:02:23:09 - 00:02:52:27 Kelly Covert Yeah. I think, a piece of it is the design of the course. So when we redesigned the curriculum, there was a lot of intentionality in trying to kind of meld together. Pathophysiology and pharmacology and pharmacotherapy. And so this course does that to a certain degree. So we do expect students to do some pre-reading with regard to pathologies prior to coming into the course, which often students are less used to having to do. 00:02:52:29 - 00:03:15:25 Kelly Covert And then as the course builds, the disease states that they have learned earlier in the course, if treated incorrectly, end up leading to disease state. They learn later. So everything kind of builds, and we try to be intentional about not forgetting content that they had not only earlier in pharmacotherapy too, but also in therapy. One in the fall semester. 00:03:15:27 - 00:03:19:21 Stephen Woodward Can you tell us about your teaching specialties and what got you interested in those areas? 00:03:19:22 - 00:03:39:15 Kelly Covert Yeah. So when I first came to Gatton, gosh, almost ten years ago, I knew that I would be taking over the then Renal Integrated series and the GI integrated series, which works perfectly for me. In residency, I had a strong interest in solid organ transplant, and where I trained, most of our transplants were kidneys and livers. 00:03:39:22 - 00:04:04:02 Kelly Covert And so I had a strong, just interest in those disease states at baseline, not only the post-transplant stuff, but also all of the disease states that lead you to potentially needing a kidney transplant, or a liver transplant. And so it was an interest area of mine. And then I just got lucky that that's what the college needed, and have been fortunate to keep most of the content that I was kind of given at the very beginning of when I started here. 00:04:04:04 - 00:04:06:02 Kelly Covert Okay. Yeah. 00:04:06:04 - 00:04:09:24 Michele Williams So what do you like best about teaching again? 00:04:09:27 - 00:04:29:15 Kelly Covert Oh, lots of things. Number one, and this is not me saying this because I am a faculty member. I love our faculty members. I consider all of them really close friends of mine. And so I think we have a good group of people who care a lot about teaching students well. But I also like having a smaller cohort of students that it lets us get to know them really well. 00:04:29:18 - 00:04:52:18 Kelly Covert And you get to see people grow and change over time. If I notice, you know, maybe a student, a student seems off or someone who normally makes, you know, a B grades is struggling. I feel like we can recognize that more easily. And then the last thing that I appreciate is, I think in a lot of colleges, it doesn't always feel like everyone's on the same team. 00:04:52:21 - 00:05:12:11 Kelly Covert But especially when we were redesigning the curriculum, it definitely felt like a all hands on deck in a positive way effort. Like, everyone was willing to kind of put pride aside and say, yeah, I'll teach this, or yeah, you're right, that's too many hours for this, this disease state. So I just there's a lot of collegiality that I appreciate. 00:05:12:13 - 00:05:15:02 Michele Williams That's great. Yeah, I agree with you. Cool. 00:05:15:03 - 00:05:17:05 Kelly Covert Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. 00:05:17:07 - 00:05:22:14 Stephen Woodward Well, what tips for success or any advice would you give to our current students. 00:05:22:16 - 00:05:39:29 Kelly Covert Studying more than you think you need to. I, I was actually telling this to a student the other day. I think a lot of times, especially if you are a student who, in high school and undergrad didn't have to study very hard, you may have never really learned how to study, to be honest. That was me as a student. 00:05:40:01 - 00:06:01:11 Kelly Covert I kind of coasted through, and got to pharmacy school. And it's not that our material is harder, in my opinion. Still, to this day, physics is the hardest class I've ever taken by a lot. It's just that there's a higher volume and so if you don't know how to study and then the volume is so much higher, it just sets you up for a really challenging first semester. 00:06:01:14 - 00:06:23:04 Kelly Covert So I always tell students, study for more than you think you need to start earlier than you think. You need to break things down into smaller pieces than you think you might need to. Because the things that might have worked in undergrad when you were taking maybe 1 or 2 math and science courses, and then some fluffier or less intensive courses just probably won't work in pharmacy school. 00:06:23:06 - 00:06:27:03 Kelly Covert And then I always refer them to to Michele. Literally, always. 00:06:27:06 - 00:06:33:10 Michele Williams Thanks for that. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with you falling behind. 00:06:33:12 - 00:06:55:09 Kelly Covert It's just impossible to dig out. Yeah. And the challenge is everything builds. So, like, if you have a really rocky first semester, not to say your second semester will be equally as rocky, but if you don't learn things well on the front end, you're just going to be having to work that much harder to relearn something you were supposed to have already known, to then learn the new content for that semester. 00:06:55:11 - 00:06:56:24 Michele Williams Yeah, it does make things a lot harder. 00:06:56:25 - 00:07:00:12 Kelly Covert Yeah, for sure. 00:07:00:15 - 00:07:12:03 Michele Williams So, you oversee the residency teaching and learning program here at Gatton? And you direct the Pgy two internal medicine residency here, too? 00:07:12:07 - 00:07:12:26 Kelly Covert I you do that as well. 00:07:12:27 - 00:07:27:25 Michele Williams Yeah. And you yourself were a resident at the Medical University of South Carolina, right. What advice would you give a student who's interested in pursuing a residency that they might not get from a brochure or. 00:07:27:25 - 00:07:49:07 Kelly Covert Yeah. Yeah. I think the earlier you can identify that you might want to do a residency the better, because it it really will change how you set up the rest of your pharmacy school time. So, for instance, if you knew without a shadow of a doubt that you wanted to go own your own independent pharmacy, you would pick very different electives. 00:07:49:07 - 00:08:10:14 Kelly Covert And if you knew that you wanted to go be an infectious diseases clinical specialist at a hospital. And so I think if you can identify that early, it just helps you set up what you want the rest of your time at Gatton to look like. So it might make pursuing research interests more or less important to you. If you want to pursue residency, it might make you change the way that you rank your rotations. 00:08:10:16 - 00:08:28:29 Kelly Covert It might make you change the electives that you take. Or if you choose to pursue the residency track or not. And so I just think it's always a challenge of students realizing their fourth year they want to do residency, but haven't necessarily set themself up to be a great applicant from the beginning, because there's there's ground that's hard to make up after that point. 00:08:29:06 - 00:08:31:23 Michele Williams That makes sense. That makes sense. 00:08:31:25 - 00:08:46:16 Stephen Woodward So in addition to teaching and overseeing residencies, you also are a practicing pharmacist and preceptor. Could you kind of tell us about what a day in the life of teaching here and going to practice is, like where you practice at what is what is a day in the life of that look. 00:08:46:16 - 00:09:06:26 Kelly Covert Like a day in the life? Sure thing. So I practice over at Johnson City Medical Center. So just across the parking lot from us, which is nice. I can pop back and forth between the college in the hospital. I work with an inpatient family medicine team, so the way I describe it is all of my patients are sick enough to be in the hospital, but not so sick that they're necessarily requiring, the intensive care unit. 00:09:06:28 - 00:09:26:15 Kelly Covert We see a ton of different patients with different disease states and different levels of acuity. So some of our patients are much closer to discharge, and we might be dealing with more kind of chronic disease state management, not quite ambulatory care, but kind of in that vein. And then some of our patients are really quite sick and could be transferred to the unit. 00:09:26:15 - 00:09:52:12 Kelly Covert And so it's a variety. My team is comprised of an attending physician, three family medicine residents myself, a gaggle of medical students and pharmacy students, and sometimes pharmacy residents. And then also occasionally a psychiatry intern. So our team is large, interprofessional. And basically, my role on that team is to make sure all the meds that we're using and patient are appropriate. 00:09:52:12 - 00:10:13:15 Kelly Covert And sometimes that changes day to day, but then also to make sure that when the patient leaves the hospital, the plan that we have in place for them from a meds standpoint is, is feasible, both from a, you know, number of pills per day, cost of meds. If if a patient, doesn't have reliable ways to store their medications, that might change what we do. 00:10:13:17 - 00:10:30:16 Kelly Covert So most of my mornings and early afternoons are spent over at the hospital. We do table rounds as a team where we talk about each of our patients and make medication changes in the medical record. And then we go on walk around, and that's when we go see all of our patients and talk with them, update them on medicine changes. 00:10:30:17 - 00:10:53:22 Kelly Covert That's when me and and or my pharmacy students will do discharge counseling and making sure, again, meds are affordable and available to patients. And then my afternoons are kind of a mixed bag. If I'm teaching, it's almost always in the afternoon at the college, so I may come back over here and teach. If not, then I usually stay at the hospital and my students and I will do topic discussions or journal clubs. 00:10:53:24 - 00:11:00:18 Kelly Covert Just to kind of help. If there is any kind of loose ends we need to tie up, tie those up before we're done for the day. 00:11:00:20 - 00:11:05:04 Stephen Woodward Can you tell us what is a preceptor and what do you like most about preceptor? 00:11:05:06 - 00:11:26:05 Kelly Covert Yeah. So a preceptor, is an overseer of students who are on rotations at your site. The way I view myself is I am a safety net for students, so I encourage them to pretend as if they are a licensed pharmacist. So when you're looking at patients in the morning, if I wasn't here, what medication changes would you recommend? 00:11:26:05 - 00:11:50:29 Kelly Covert What labs would you recommend my team monitor? What would you make sure that you dose adjusted? That sort of thing. But ultimately students are licensed pharmacists. And so a preceptors role is to make sure any recommendations student makes is an appropriate one. Help guide them. If they've never been in the hospital before, help guide them on what a hospital pharmacist does, potentially help them streamline their workflow process. 00:11:50:29 - 00:12:12:22 Kelly Covert So if it's taking a student an hour to work off one patient, you know, helping them gain efficiency. And then another key part of my role is providing feedback. So students get a midpoint in the final evaluation of all of their fourth year rotations. But I also do feedback Friday on my rotation, which is basically just a touch point on how the how the week has gone. 00:12:12:22 - 00:12:35:16 Kelly Covert I have students set goals on the first day of what do you want to get out of this rotation by the end of it? And so we reflect back on those goals. How is that going? So it's it's kind of a safety net overseer, feedback giver, emotional support person occasionally. But what I like about preceptor, I mean, I a lot of times students get to my rotation. 00:12:35:17 - 00:12:59:22 Kelly Covert They haven't ever been in the hospital and they're totally freaked out by it. There's a lot of beeping, there's a lot of noises. It can be scary. And so I really appreciate seeing students go from totally fish out of water to by the end, they're integrated with my family medicine team. I'm fortunate to work with a team that's very pharmacy friendly, and so they're easy to integrate into. 00:12:59:24 - 00:13:16:00 Kelly Covert But just seeing students kind of get their sea legs and figure out how to navigate this process, even if it's not something they want to do when they're in a pharmacy school. So I have many students that want to go into ambulatory care community, but there's still a transitions of care piece that they might get to see on the rotation. 00:13:16:00 - 00:13:18:21 Kelly Covert So just seeing the growth is my favorite part. 00:13:18:23 - 00:13:20:03 Stephen Woodward Thank you. 00:13:20:05 - 00:13:35:12 Michele Williams That sounds great. What advice would you give students who might be on rotation with you. So what kinds of things do you like to see students do? Or what kinds of behaviors are you looking for? 00:13:35:14 - 00:14:04:03 Kelly Covert My number one thing that I think is most important for students on my rotation is to take some ownership of their learning. So rotations are when, you know, the reins come off a little bit and you're out in the wild doing what a pharmacist would do. And so if I have a student who wants to be told every single step in their day to get from beginning to end, that can be challenging because there's not a lot of, autonomy. 00:14:04:03 - 00:14:18:21 Kelly Covert There's not a lot of self-directed learning that happens there. So if I have a student who can see a problem and, and try to to learn how to solve that problem, if they can see a med they're not familiar with and go look it up and tell me what they found versus me having to ask them to do that. 00:14:18:23 - 00:14:45:21 Kelly Covert I think that's the mark of someone who's going to really excel in their pharmacy career, because honestly, like half the things that we teach students in pharmacy school by the time they're 5 or 10 years out, aren't accurate or relevant anymore. Just because meds change and guidelines change and drugs come on and off the market. And so if I have someone who's able to see what they don't know and try to fill that knowledge gap, I think that's my most important quality in a student. 00:14:45:24 - 00:15:05:27 Michele Williams That that makes a lot of sense. And I it, it almost sounds like between you're saying you're a safety net and you're saying, you know, kind of generate some of this stuff within yourself and do it. It almost sounds like you're saying take a take a step forward. Don't don't be a wallflower. 00:15:05:27 - 00:15:06:06 Kelly Covert Yeah. 00:15:06:11 - 00:15:11:21 Michele Williams Jump in there and give it a try. You'll catch them if they're doing something they shouldn't be doing or you'll 00:15:11:21 - 00:15:12:25 Kelly Covert 00:15:12:25 - 00:15:16:20 Michele Williams Guide them. But but to get in there and give it a try and. 00:15:16:20 - 00:15:41:10 Kelly Covert Yeah, I mean, I'll tell students, you know, depending on what their career path looks like, apps are some of the last times that they they will have a safety net. And so kind of take advantage of that and practice at the highest level that you can. That way, you know, you know where your shortfalls are, versus if you are really timid or need to be told every step from A to Z to get through your day. 00:15:41:12 - 00:15:51:17 Kelly Covert I just don't know that you're going to be able to function as independently as a pharmacist when you're done with pharmacy school, and it is your license at the end of each decision that you make. 00:15:51:19 - 00:15:54:10 Michele Williams That makes sense. That makes sense. 00:15:54:12 - 00:16:02:06 Stephen Woodward Well we'll switch gears just a little bit as we head towards the end. But what is something about you that might surprise people. 00:16:02:08 - 00:16:18:22 Kelly Covert I don't I was looking at that question I hadn't had an answer for yet. I admit this, and this is shocking, but I'm a huge sports fan. I love I have season tickets to Etsu basketball. It's one of my favorite things that from the time I got here to Gatton, we bought those tickets and it's been a blast. 00:16:18:23 - 00:16:27:02 Kelly Covert We go to the Southern Conference Championship in Asheville every year. But I feel like most pharmacists are not known for being like sports fans, but I, I'm a. 00:16:27:04 - 00:16:29:08 Michele Williams Sports. 00:16:29:11 - 00:16:30:06 Stephen Woodward Editor, most for the. 00:16:30:06 - 00:16:37:16 Kelly Covert Scene as nerds. That's what I think. Nerds. There you go. No other interests. 00:16:37:18 - 00:16:42:19 Stephen Woodward Well, thank you so much for joining us on the podcast. Yeah, we look forward to this coming up. Yeah. 00:16:42:21 - 00:16:44:14 Kelly Covert Awesome.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 16, 2026) – If you've ever wondered what happens behind the counter at a pharmacy, or how a medication makes its way from an idea to a prescription bottle, the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy wants to show you. On this week's episode of Behind the Blue, host Kody Kiser talks with Dr. Olufunmilola "Funmi" Abraham about The Wonders of Pharmacy, a new hands-on community event designed for kids, families, and learners of all ages. The event will take place April 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature more than 60 interactive stations throughout the UK College of Pharmacy's Todd Building on South Limestone.  Abraham is professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science and serves on the college's executive council. She is also the founder of the CRoME Lab, a community-engaged research team focused on helping families build medication literacy through creative interventions, including educational games that teach safe and effective medication use.  In the conversation, Abraham describes The Wonders of Pharmacy as similar in spirit to events like the UK College of Engineering's E-Day, with a "choose your own adventure" format that allows visitors to explore pharmacy and pharmaceutical science at their own pace. The day is designed to introduce the public to the wide range of roles pharmacists can play, from community health to hospital care, and to highlight pharmacists as one of the most accessible health care resources in any community.  The event is also a learning experience for UK students. Abraham explains that pharmacy and graduate students help design and run many of the stations as part of hands-on leadership and innovation training, building communication and community engagement skills alongside their academic coursework. For event details about The Wonders of Pharmacy, search "UK Wonders of Pharmacy" or visit the UK College of Pharmacy website.
