Recruitment of a Diverse Population into Pharmacy

MINORITIES IN PHARMACY

APhA supports a vigorous long-term program for the recruitment of a diverse population of student pharmacists into the pharmacy profession.
APhA encourages the development and regular updating of comprehensive recruitment materials, directed toward diversity and inclusion, that address such issues as pharmacy career opportunities, financial aid, and educational prerequisites, and that highlight professional diverse role models.
APhA encourages national, state, and local association; schools; students; and industry to create a network of pharmacists who would serve as role models for a diverse population of student pharmacists.
APhA supports the development of guidelines that assist schools of pharmacy in implementing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives into student pharmacist recruitment programs.
