Activity Overview

This webinar will review strategies for incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training amongst pharmacy residency programs. Attendees will hear from pharmacy residents discussing their program’s approach of establishing recurrent expert-led dialogue amongst trainees that encourages exploration and cultivates a culture of support and respect in the workplace. Lastly, a residency program director will explore training techniques that address implicit bias in the precepting and recruitment process.

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

This activity was planned to meet the needs of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who participate in the recruitment, education, and training of pharmacy residents or pharmacy residency preceptors.  

  1. Discuss the impact of bias and discrimination on the quality of patient care provided by the pharmacy workforce.
  2. Describe successful programs in pharmacy education and training that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion principles within their curricula.
  3. Identify successful methods for preparing pharmacy resident preceptors and educators to provide adequate training in diversity, equity, and inclusion to their residents.
