ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism principles into clinical and didactic education is essential because each influence cognitive and affective attitudes in pharmacy practice. Educators must learn from the past to enlighten the future. For example, race is a social construct, not a biological construct. However, it persistently acts as a surrogate for determining medical diagnoses and treatment.FINDINGS:
Precision medicine and pharmacogenomics can serve as a basis for deconstructing social constructs surrounding race and other social determinants of health.SUMMARY:
In this review, the authors highlight why using race in health education will lead to less-than-optimal clinical decisions and discuss best practices for incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism into health education from a pharmacogenomic-based perspective.Palabras clave
