To determine pharmacy students' perceptions regarding cultural competence training, cross-cultural experiences during advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs), and perceived comfort levels with various cultural encounters.
Fourth-year pharmacy (P4) students were asked to complete a questionnaire at the end of their fourth APPE.
Fifty-two of 124 respondents (31.9%) reported having 1 or more cultural competence events during their APPEs, the most common of which was caring for a patient with limited English proficiency.
Students reported high levels of comfort with specific types of cultural encounters (disabilities, sexuality, financial barriers, mental health), but reported to be less comfortable in other situations.
确定药学专业学生对文化能力培训、高级药学实践经验（APPEs）期间的跨文化经历以及在各种文化接触中的舒适程度的看法。
四年级药学专业（P4）学生在其四阶段高级药学实践经验结束时被要求填写一份问卷。
124名受访者中有52名（31.9%）报告在其高级药学实践经验期间有1次或更多次文化能力相关事件，其中最常见的是照顾英语水平有限的患者。
学生报告对特定类型的文化接触（残疾、性取向、经济障碍、心理健康）有较高的舒适度，但在其他情况下报告的舒适度较低。
