• Students give more than 1,000 flu vaccines a year through the school’s annual Operation Immunization event, which provides free flu vaccines to those who might not otherwise be able to afford it. 
• More than 95% of the students from the 2018 class were either employed or accepted to a residency, fellowship or post-graduate program upon graduation.
• The KU School of Pharmacy residency match rate again exceeded the national average in 2018. KU SOP Pharm.D. students matched at a rate of 79 percent, compared with a national rate of 65 percent. Of the 149 members of the Class of 2018, 56 sought a residency program.
