Summary
Systemic racism education is a low priority in most US pharmacy programs, with many lacking dedicated content. Faculty training and accreditation standards are needed to improve health equity education.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Social Determinants of Health
Background:
- Systemic racism significantly impacts health outcomes and healthcare delivery.
- Integrating education on systemic racism is crucial for promoting health equity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey the inclusion of systemic racism education in US Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curricula.
- To identify barriers and facilitators to teaching systemic racism content.
Main Methods:
- A survey was distributed to curricular representatives at US pharmacy colleges and schools.
- Data analysis included descriptive statistics and comparisons between program types.
Main Results:
- 84% of respondents deemed systemic racism education a low priority.
- 24% of curricula lacked systemic racism content; 34% had it as a minor component.
- Lack of faculty knowledge/comfort and limited curricular space were primary barriers.
Conclusions:
- Pharmacy faculty require training and resources to effectively teach systemic racism.
- Accreditation standards should incorporate systemic racism concepts to advance health equity.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974).

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies.

And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...
