“…Four of these had a specific Australian First Peoples focus. 31 The IAPCC-SV has been used with pharmacy students (n=12) after completing an elective course on cultural competence, 32 as well as in a discrete course for a mixed student cohort ( nursing, allied health and pharmacy) (n=106) 33 . However, both discrete courses focused on multicultural and cross-cultural groups, rather than Indigenous peoples from colonised countries or other specific cultural group.…”

“…Although pharmacy students, educators, and practitioners perceive the importance of cultural awareness, many do not fully realize the implications of culture on outcomes and the pharmacist–patient relationship, nor do they provide culturally sensitive care . Little information is available about the cultural competency of pharmacy faculty.…”

Culture influences patients' beliefs and behaviors toward health and illness. As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, a critical need exists for pharmacy education to incorporate patient-centered culturally sensitive health care knowledge and skills into the curriculum. Nursing was the first profession to incorporate this type of learning and training into its curriculums, followed by medicine. Pharmacy has also made great progress to revise curriculums, but inconsistency exists in depth, breadth, and methods across pharmacy colleges. This article addresses important aspects of pharmacy education such as curriculum development, incorporation of educational innovations and techniques into the teaching of patient-centered culturally sensitive health care across the curriculum from didactic to experiential learning, assessment tools, and global education. A preliminary model curriculum with objectives and examples of teaching methods is proposed. Future directions in pharmacy education, teaching and learning scholarship, postgraduate education, licensure, and continuing education are also presented.

“…1 Around and since that time, articles reinforcing the importance of exposing students to experiences that hone cultural competency have appeared in print. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Examples of the centrality of cultural competency to contemporary practice include the ongoing work of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Caring for the Underserved Curriculum Task Force, the inclusion of cultural sensitivity in the Approach to Practice and Care domain of the 2013 CAPE Educational Outcomes, and cultural awareness and sensitivity elements within Standards 3, 25, and Appendices 1-3 of the draft ACPE Standards 2016. [10][11][12] However, a review of the literature indicates that, while some programs incorporate a brief immersion into their cultural enrichment experiences, the elective courses in Native American cultures and health are relatively unique with respect to their emphasis on career discernment within the studied population.…”

Objective. To encourage pharmacy students to elect education and practice opportunities in Native American communities, including careers with the Indian Health Service (IHS). Methods. Students in 2 elective courses were educated on various aspects of contemporary Native American life in urban and reservation environments, including cultural traditions, social and healthrelated challenges, health access disparities, and cultural approaches to health and wellness. The teachers were Native American leaders and healers primarily from Plains tribes, as well as non-Native American practitioners affiliated with IHS hospitals and tribal health facilities. Students kept reflective journals, and a subset spent 5 days immersed in a rural Navajo community where they lived and worked alongside IHS practitioners and Community Health Representatives. Results. Student engagement with IHS opportunities was tracked for 11 years. Of the 69 pharmacy students who completed the electives, 11 applied for a Junior Commissioned Officer Student Training and Externship Program (Jr. COSTEP) (8 accepted, 6 completed), 43 requested one or more IHS APPEs (43 accepted, 32 completed, 8 in progress), 17 applied for an IHS residency (1 pending, 8 accepted, 5 completed), and 5 became IHS Commissioned Corps officers. Five additional students accepted an IHS or tribal position, with 3 pursuing a USPHS commission. Conclusion. Since the first report on the impact of this elective experience was published, the course continues to meet its primary objective of promoting interest in IHS/tribal education experiences and pharmacy practice careers.
