AACP Section: Bridging Pharmacy Education and Practice

Objectives: Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a priority for pharmacy education to provide equitable healthcare and serve diverse populations. This project aimed to evaluate inclusive excellence centered on three priority areas within our institution: 1) Education/awareness; 2) People; and 3) Community engagement.

Methods: In June 2021, our college established a DEI Council, which represented internal (i.e., students, staff, faculty, health-system partners) and external stakeholders (i.e., alumni, preceptors). We conducted a series of unstructured small group discussions centered on: DEI in the curriculum and co-curriculum; diversity and inclusive practices to recruit and retain students and faculty; and ways to increase our presence in and impact on the community we serve. These discussions were paired with literature assessments, evaluation of internal documents (e.g., curricular map, course syllabi) and other relevant data/metrics. After identifying and documenting emergent themes, we developed a prioritized list of recommendations.

Results: Twelve faculty and staff, 16 students, 4 health-system partners, and 1 alumna and preceptor participated in the discussions. Two themes emerged for Education/awareness: the need to foster a culture that encourages faculty, staff, and preceptor participation in DEI programming and workshops to model culturally competent behavior; and the need to expand relevant, contemporary DEI content into the curriculum and the co-curriculum. Emergent themes for People included: incorporating DEI strategies to recruit and retain a diverse student body; identifying resources and initiatives to improve student success; and expanding pathways to attract a prospective students. Emergent themes for Community engagement/impact included: utilizing collaborative approaches to optimize community engagement and promoting community outreach through research/scholarly activities.

Conclusion: This project established recommendations to help foster and sustain a diverse, equitable and inclusive academic and work environment.
