Your Story, Your Impact: Share Your Experiences And Promote Equity In Healthcare Through Personal Storytelling
ASHP is developing a new publication that will broaden our storytelling to feature the stories and experiences of pharmacy professionals who identify as members of historically underrepresented groups. The collection of personal essays will present significant events in the lives of those in the pharmacy community whose experiences have been shaped by their race, ethnicity, gender or gender presentation, sexual orientation, ability, language, mental health, or other factors. We envision that access to these stories will deepen the collective understanding among pharmacy colleagues, patients, and society.
We invite submissions of stories that may have influenced your choice of profession or impacted your experiences in training for and as a member of the pharmacy, pharmacy education and pharmaceutical research communities.
