Critical Race Theory for Pharmacy Diversity Curriculum/Response to Critical Race Theory for Pharmacy Diversity Curriculum

[...]we agree with Dr. Rockich-Winston's assertion that "racism is woven into the fabric of the United States."Taking this into consideration, we felt this model was appropriate to characterize the breadth and depth of diversity-related research in pharmacy education.[...]as we continue to broaden and deepen diversity-related research in pharmacy education, we must consider the impact of racism individually, in tandem, and combined with other "-isms" if we are to develop culturally competent practitioners.[...]while employing CRT to focus on the racism that undergirds our society is one example of following the LDR's suggestion to infuse diversity into the curriculum and co-curriculum (as well as research), we should extend our theoretical lenses to include the experiences of other federally protected people, minorities, and social identity groups (including majority groups).Though we are nearly 70 years removed from the events that initiated the AAE model (1950s), pharmacy education research lags behind.[...]we can posit that the scholars primarily focused on compositional diversity out of necessity to raise awareness and lay the foundation for future research.
