ABOUT US
Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO) is a national organization that is dedicated to advancing the profession of pharmacy and providing greater opportunities for students and pharmacists nationwide.
IPhO believes that pharmacists' scientific training, medication expertise, clinical acumen, patient focus, and experience as healthcare providers make us ideally suited for a career in the pharmaceutical industry.
​
Pharmacists play a key role in the drug development process and optimal medication utilization each and every day. Whether it is in Development, Medical, or Commercial aspects of pharmaceuticals, the contributions pharmacists make are valuable.
The University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy (UKCOP) IPhO chapter was chartered on July 24, 2015.
UKIPhO is dedicated to promoting and advocating a career in the pharmaceutical industry to student pharmacists at the UK College of Pharmacy.

UKIPhO values professional development, networking, and opportunities. The Chapter hosts events throughout the school year that allow student pharmacists to pursue opportunities that are industry focused.
