BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The primary objective of this study was to assess changes in pharmacy students' attitudes and perceptions toward providing care to underserved populations after a six-week clinical experience within a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) clinic.
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING
A pre-post survey design was utilized to evaluate third- and fourth-year pharmacy students' attitudes and perceptions before and after a six-week clinical rotation providing direct patient care to underserved patients in FQHC clinics. Results were collected via self-administered online surveys that collected information on participants' (1) demographics, (2) past experiences interacting with underserved populations, (3) type of clinical activities completed during the rotation, and (4) personal opinions and perceptions of providing care to underserved populations.
FINDINGS
Responses to seven of the 18 attitudinal questions showed a statistically significant positive change from baseline, with three questions being related to educational satisfaction. Changes in attitudes for questions related to domains of personal impact and perceptions/barriers were also significant.
DISCUSSION/SUMMARY: Clinical rotations within an FQHC clinic can positively impact pharmacy students' attitudes towards underserved populations. If more students are exposed to direct patient care with underserved populations throughout their experiential training, the number of graduating student pharmacists that explore job opportunities within underserved areas may increase.

背景与目的
本研究的主要目的是评估药学专业学生在联邦合格健康中心（FQHC）诊所进行为期六周的临床实习后，对为服务不足人群提供护理的态度和看法的变化。
教育活动与环境
采用前后调查设计，以评估三、四年级药学专业学生在为FQHC诊所中服务不足的患者提供直接患者护理的六周临床轮转前后的态度和看法。通过自行填写的在线调查问卷收集结果，该问卷收集了有关参与者的以下信息：（1）人口统计学信息，（2）过去与服务不足人群互动的经历，（3）轮转期间完成的临床活动类型，以及（4）对为服务不足人群提供护理的个人意见和看法。
研究结果
18个态度问题中的7个问题的回答显示，与基线相比有统计学上显著的积极变化，其中3个问题与教育满意度有关。与个人影响和看法/障碍领域相关问题的态度变化也很显著。
讨论/总结：在FQHC诊所进行临床轮转可以对药学专业学生对服务不足人群的态度产生积极影响。如果更多学生在整个实践培训中接触到为服务不足人群提供的直接患者护理，那么探索在服务不足地区工作机会的毕业药学专业学生数量可能会增加。在FQHC诊所进行临床轮转可以对药学专业学生对服务不足人群的态度产生积极影响。如果更多学生在整个实践培训中接触到为服务不足人群提供的直接患者护理，那么探索在服务不足地区工作机会的毕业药学专业学生数量可能会增加。
