University of Kansas School of Pharmacy

Pharmacy education goes beyond the classroom!

Over the summer, students from the KU School of Pharmacy participated in a rotation through the Kansas to Kenya (K2K) ministry. They partnered with local communities, including the University of Nairobi School of Pharmacy, to provide pharmacy education, patient care and service. These experiences provide our students with global perspectives on healthcare while strengthening relationships that make lasting impacts in both communities.
