  • Cultural Competency in a Pharmacy Ethics Course

    Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, California

    Publication Type: Abstract
    Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The principles of expected professional and patient behavior taught in North American schools of pharmacy generally derive from a Western European ethics tradition. Many patients, however, come from cultures which view “appropriate and inappropriate behavior" differently than the pharmacist.

    Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The principles of expected professional and patient behavior taught in North American schools of pharmacy generally derive from a Western European ethics tradition. Many patients, however, come from cultures which view “appropriate and inappropriate behavior" differently than the pharmacist. This poster describes a module in an elective Pharmacy Ethics course which introduces students to ethical considerations specific to various cultures they are likely to encounter in Minnesota. METHODS: In one class, student teams consisted of one Anglo student and one student from a minority culture. Each team was assigned to explore the culture of the non-Anglo student. In another class, students were asked to explore a culture foreign to both members of the student team. Student teams researched the mores and healthcare practices of their assigned culture through literature reviews, web searches and interviews with persons from that culture. Findings were presented in class, and then students reflected on the module. RESULTS: Students reported on cultural mores and healthcare practices from the African American, Chinese, Hmong, Latino, Nigerian, Ojibwe, Somali, and Vietnamese cultures, discussing how these beliefs might impact providing pharmaceutical care to these patients. Students preferred exploring a culture unrelated to either team member. Participants found the exercise so interesting and useful that they recommended a similar experience for all University of Minnesota student pharmacists. IMPLICATIONS: Student pharmacists recognize the increasing likelihood that as practitioners they will care for patients from various cultures, so value the opportunity to learn about mores and healthcare practices of different peoples.
