Abstract

Purpose

Professional pharmacy associations are calling for greater cultural sensitivity in pharmacy.

education. The faculty of a Midwestern School of Pharmacy set out to better address race and racism in the pharmacy curriculum through the implementation of a faculty development series.

Description

A year-long professional development program to increase awareness of Diversity, Equity,

and Inclusion (DEI) by race and ethnicity was implemented for 30 faculty members. The program included four didactic lectures and four Grand Rounds discussion sessions.

Analysis/Interpretation

Attendance at the sessions averaged 22 (73 %) and 9 (30 %) for the didactic and Grand Rounds sessions, respectively. Faculty members showed a desire to learn about racism in pharmacy education and an openness to discuss ways to improve pharmacy education to make it culturally representative. Faculty went from a broad perception of health outcomes being impacted by race and racism, to actionable views on how race is addressed in the pharmacy curriculum, as well as the teaching methods such as facilitated discussions to address race and ethnicity appropriately.

Conclusions

Faculty members are willing and able to openly revisit the content and methods of their teaching to make it more accurate and inclusive about how race and ethnicity are handled in the.

pharmacy curriculum.

Implications

Pharmacy faculty are willing to learn about racism in pharmacy education and do what is necessary to handle race and ethnicity topics in appropriate ways. Collaborative learning can assist faculty members to do so.

药学教育中的种族和民族问题教师发展系列。

目的：专业药学协会呼吁在药学教育中提高文化敏感性。美国中西部一所药学院的教师们开始通过实施教师发展系列计划来更好地处理药学课程中的种族和种族主义问题：为 30 名教师实施了一项为期一年的专业发展计划，以提高他们对种族和民族多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）的认识。该计划包括四次说教式讲座和四次大讲堂讨论课程：分析/解释：参加讲座和大讲堂讨论课程的平均人数分别为 22 人（73%）和 9 人（30%）。教师们表现出了对药学教育中的种族主义问题的求知欲，并愿意讨论如何改进药学教育，使其具有文化代表性。教员们从对种族和种族主义影响健康结果的广泛认识，到对如何在药学课程中处理种族问题的可操作性观点，以及适当处理种族和民族问题的教学方法（如促进式讨论）：教师们愿意并能够公开重新审视他们的教学内容和方法，使其在药学课程中如何处理种族和民族问题上更加准确和包容：药剂学教师愿意了解药剂学教育中的种族主义，并采取必要的措施以适当的方式处理种族和民族问题。合作学习可以帮助教师们做到这一点。
