PharmTalk
PharmTalk is a special production from the UA College of Pharmacy that features two of our alumni, Keith and Kevin Boesen.
They are brothers and pharmacists, and, we hope you will agree, engaging fellows. Pharmacy is a tradition for their family. Keith and Kevin's dad is a pharmacist, as is another brother. Our two video hosts also are married to pharmacists. We couldn't think of anyone better suited to introduce viewers to the many different aspects of pharmacy.
We hope PharmTalk will intrigue young people - those in middle school and high school, especially - and inspire them to find out more about the profession of pharmacy. If you'd like to arrange a "career day" visit to your school by a pharmacist or student pharmacist, send us an email.
