Ken Thai, PharmD. is a truly remarkable pharmacy owner, leader and entrepreneur.  And the good news is he shares several of his management philosophies and business ideas on this podcast.

A graduate of the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, Thai owns, or is a partner in several pharmacies.  He is the founder of the 986 Pharmacy franchise program.  The  web site, 986pharmacy.com, lists 13 locations in 3 states.  Building on his expertise combined with that of his partners they have created a unique GPO, K&B Associates.  The group focuses on helping members buy better, work smarter and share ideas on how to expand into LTC or 340B contracts or manage more effectively. If that isn’t enough, he is the immediate past president of the California Pharmacist Association with a passion for reigning in PBM abuses.  He even shares information on a couple legislative battles the California association in waging.  

Thai shares a remarkable business venture they have started that involves a Pharmacy Fellowship supported by his pharmacy, the USC School of pharmacy and a physician clinic.  In the program a pharmacist on Thai’s team is contracted to work in the clinic and provide support to doctors, nurses and physician assistants and then run a follow up clinic in one of Thai’s pharmacies.
