The curricula of US schools and colleges of pharmacy provide students with only a cursory introduction to patients with disabilities, and this is usually achieved through didactic content. These brief introductions are considered helpful; however, pedagogical approaches do not provide comprehensive content for mastery of skills and strategies for delivering accessible healthcare services to patients with disabilities. Student pharmacists' need to obtain the requisite education, knowledge, and skills to provide effective healthcare to patients with disabilities. Accordingly, it is essential that schools and colleges of pharmacy prepare student pharmacists to be competent and confident in providing effective and accessible care to this underserved patient population.
美国的药学院校课程仅为学生提供对残疾患者的粗略介绍，通常通过理论内容来实现。这些简要介绍被认为是有帮助的；然而，教学方法并没有为掌握向残疾患者提供可及医疗服务的技能和策略提供全面的内容。药学专业学生需要获得必要的教育、知识和技能，为残疾患者提供有效的医疗保健。因此，药学院校必须使药学专业学生有能力并自信地为这一服务不足的患者群体提供有效和可及的护理。
