BACKGROUND: Culturally safe health system interventions can support practitioners in providing culturally safe experiences for patients. Pharmacy regulatory bodies have set out standards for providing culturally safe care, but there is a lack of guidance on how to implement training within educational programs.
OBJECTIVE: To characterize cultural safety education and/or training in Canadian pharmacy educational programs.
METHODS: Bilingual surveys were created and validated for pharmacy residency and degree programs and were administered through Qualtrics survey software. Each program was limited to one response. Closed-ended responses were analyzed with sample frequencies based on counts and percentages. Free-text responses were reviewed and coded to generate thematic categories.
RESULTS: The completed survey response rates were 51% (22 of 43) and 50% (5 of 10) for the residency and degree programs, respectively, with additional respondents providing answers for some but not all sections of the survey (included in the analysis). Cultural safety education and/or training was reported to have been implemented in 21 of 32 residency programs and 4 of 6 degree programs. Of the respondent programs that reported implementation of training and continued the survey, 11 of 15 residency programs and all 4 degree programs reported program-specific training. A common perceived barrier in residency programs was lack of familiarity with resources (13 of 21), whereas a common barrier in degree programs was lack of trained educators (4 of 6).
CONCLUSIONS: Cultural safety differs from conventional academic content because it is a complex topic that requires an understanding of cultural differences, which takes time to develop. To achieve the goal of cultural competence, it may be beneficial to integrate pharmacy-specific training alongside self-reflections and opportunities to engage in cultural safety experiences.
