Issues for Religious-Affiliated Programs (if relevant)
Description of activity
Pharmacy colleges and schools in a religious-based institution may
evaluate the overall relationship between student professionalism and
religious beliefs and practices in an effort to improve healthcare
outcomes. Institutions without religious affiliations may study, in the
context of cultural competence, how the religious beliefs of patients
may influence pharmaceutical care.
Rationale
Religious affiliated institutions may promote a relationship between
student spirituality and professional behavior and attitudes.
Areas of professionalism addressed
Discussions regarding all areas of professionalism should be adjusted
accordingly.
