We spend a lot of time harping on vaccine hesitancy, but one thing we don't talk about is vaccine access, and that is really a very key indicator to a lack of cultural competency.

It's really important that we capitalize on this time and the impact that pharmacists had to make some of this reform permanent.

If we are culturally competent, then we know the impacts of social determinants of health can have and how racism and transphobia homophobia can contribute to the social determinants of health.

Every pharmacist knows that if they don't have a well-trained technician available, they're not going to be able to do the things that were so amplified during COVID-19.

Even before the pandemic, pharmacists were playing a really important role in public health, being one of the most accessible health care providers.

Pharmacies have a lot of opportunities to think out of the box, to be innovative, and continue to drive that power of community that we're highlighting at the event here.

Being able to acknowledge those missteps that may have been made that may have prevented you from delivering as culturally competent care, and being able to recalibrate and to take the correction is an important step.

Cultural competence should be thought in terms of being cognizant that there are differences in every single patient.

A lot of recent studies have focused on how to teach students and residents the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) and how pharmacists are already engaging with the PPCP.

These clear-cut guidelines help pharmacists making sure the patients are getting the right drug to set them up for success and prevent problems down the road.

Pharmacists are already doing a lot of things with the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process, but they haven't always used that language.

The future trend in managing diabetes will extend into glycemic control, weight reduction, and renal liver, for example.

Women in pharmacy must realize that what they have to offer has value, both to the business and to patients’ lives.
