RESUMEN
As the U.S. population becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, it is increasingly important to characterize health inequities for targeted intervention. As it stands, demographic data regarding race and ethnicity for patients and pharmacy trainees alike are aggregated into heterogenous population groups, resulting in findings that may inaccurately reflect the experiences of smaller subgroups. Disaggregation of patient outcomes data can serve to better inform public health interventions for the most vulnerable populations. In pharmacy, disaggregation can allow for better identification of racial and ethnic subgroups who have been traditionally excluded from funding support among other opportunities. In this commentary, we provide historical context and actionable recommendations to better describe our patient and pharmacy trainee populations, with the objectives of improving pharmacist representation and health equity.
