This panel discussion will focus on methods for creating a pharmacy workforce that more closely represents the United States population. Each presenter will describe their work to improve diversity in their own workplace, as well as their efforts within professional associations to increase the number of underrepresented groups in the future pharmacy workforce. The moderator will then lead a discussion by the panelists and audience members of the current state, any best practices, gaps in our knowledge, and what can be done at both the profession and individual level to improve diversity.
