As pharmacists and pharmacy staff, it is crucial to practice in a way that promotes diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) and how to identify strategies to mitigate implicit bias. Doing so will help tailor care delivery to meet patients’ social, cultural, and linguistic needs. In this session, an expert in the area will discuss the importance of DEIB, help attendees identify their implicit bias, and determine how best to mitigate implicit bias to improve their ability to care for patients they serve.

Supported by an educational grant from CVS.

Learning Objectives:

Define the terms diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
Identify implicit bias and its role on patient outcomes.
Discuss strategies to promote systems changes and personal changes to improve diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in patient care.
