To assess the presence of curricular and organizational content related to cultural competency within colleges of pharmacy in the United States and Canada.
Curriculum committee chairs (n = 87) and student leaders (n = 54) in colleges of pharmacy in the United States and Canada were surveyed via an e-mailed assessment tool.
Forty-nine (56.3%) curriculum committee chairs and 27 (50%) student leaders returned usable responses. Respondents reported that cultural competency was mentioned in 61.2% of their mission statements, and half had made curricular changes with respect to diversity within the past 5 years. Almost 94% felt the necessity to add cultural competency topics to required courses in the curriculum, and 42.9% wanted to add a course specific to cultural competency into the curriculum.
Curriculum committee chairs recognize the need to add curricular content related to cultural competency, but not all of the respondents have implemented changes in their college's curriculum.
评估美国和加拿大药学院中与文化能力相关的课程和组织内容的存在情况。
通过电子邮件评估工具对美国和加拿药学院的课程委员会主席（n = 87）和学生领袖（n = 54）进行了调查。
49名（56.3%）课程委员会主席和27名（50%）学生领袖给出了可用回复。受访者报告称，61.2%的使命声明中提到了文化能力，并且一半的受访者在过去5年中针对多样性进行了课程改革。近94%的人认为有必要在课程的必修课中增加文化能力主题，42.9%的人希望在课程中增加一门专门针对文化能力的课程。
课程委员会主席认识到需要增加与文化能力相关的课程内容，但并非所有受访者都在其学院的课程中实施了变革。
