Pharm To Table: Dean Guy's Tour of Kentucky and Beyond

It's been a while since we've been out on the road. So, we're bringing back our signature Kentucky tour with a twist. 

Dean Guy and the crew will be in a city near you hosting conversations about the future of pharmacy—and we need your voice at the table. This is a chance for us to get to know each other better and discuss what is and isn't working as we lead change in our communities and beyond.

Over the next five years, we intend to visit every Kentucky county (yes, all of them), plus some neighboring states, to facilitate discussions that will be documented anonymously. We'll share our findings with alumni and colleagues as we strive to lead collaborative innovation that improves health.

Want a spot at the table? We saved a seat for you.
