CPE
Jazmin Black, PharmD, BCGP
The murder of George Floyd occurred at a time in history when the world had slowed down due to the pandemic and many citizens had time to watch and process racial injustices that had previously been lost in the frantic buzz of everyday life. This catapulted racial injustice to center stage and brought about what many call a “racial reckoning.” Across the country, many organizations have implemented Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, created task forces, brought in speakers, and hosted workshops in order to foster these important conversations.3 In the 2019 National Pharmacist Workforce Study, it was noted that the field of pharmacy is becoming more diverse. From 2014–2019, the percentage of non-white licensed pharmacists increased from 14.9% to 21.8% and the percentage of Black pharmacists doubled from 2.3% to 4.9%. While these statistics have shown a shift in demographics and increase in diversity, 31% of pharmacists reported they had experienced discrimination in the workplace, and harassment related to race/ethnicity was the most common and made up 15.7% of all reported incidents.
