Research has shown an increase in the number of people in the United States identifying as transgender and non-binary (TNB) . Many pharmacy schools and colleges do not offer any instruction specific to students interacting with and caring for TNB people, and practicing pharmacists have reported a lack of confidence in managing TNB patients. Regardless of the practice setting they choose, there is an increased likelihood that pharmacy graduates will serve TNB patients. Pharmacy schools that include TNB-specific education in their Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum will equip graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills to support this vulnerable population. The purpose of this commentary is to suggest methods for incorporating TNB-related material into pharmacy curricula and to provide resources for developing content.
研究表明，在美国，认定自己为跨性别和非二元性别人士（TNB）的人数有所增加。许多药学院校并未提供任何针对学生与TNB人群互动及护理的具体教学内容，执业药剂师也表示在管理TNB患者方面缺乏信心。无论选择何种执业环境，药学专业毕业生服务TNB患者的可能性都在增加。在药学博士课程中纳入针对TNB的教育的药学院校，将使毕业生具备支持这一弱势群体所需的知识和技能。本评论的目的是提出将与TNB相关的材料纳入药学课程的方法，并提供开发内容的资源。
