Docs on Draft

Docs on Draft is a speaker series presented by the Department of Medicine, in collaboration with Vice Chairs of Strategic Engagement throughout IU School of Medicine, and hosted by Guggman Haus Brewing Co. in Indianapolis.

Docs on Draft is designed to engage community members in discussions and learning about important health topics. Staged in a locally-owned brewery, this speaker series gives experts in the medical field an opportunity to share their knowledge with their neighbors in a relaxed and friendly setting. It is a space where physicians and scientists can move beyond just presenting facts and evidence, and truly engage with the community through dialogue, storytelling, and other forms of expression.

Through proximity, genuine connection, and conversations free of judgment, we will help foster trust.
