Abstract
Scientists have established that race is a social construct that has little to no biological relevance in the absence of the social, political, and environmental systems that have impacted health and health inequities. Despite this, pharmacy school curricula continue to misrepresent race as the basis of disease diagnosis and reinforce race-based clinical guidelines without contextualization. Pharmacy schools, through the partnership of students and faculty, should contextualize the mention of race and the differences in disease burden, and provide evidence for race-based guidelines and clinical decision-making in education materials. In this way, we can work to halt the perpetuation of teaching bias to future healthcare professionals.
