在内布拉斯加州医学中心大学药学院,一个纵向项目正在进行中,以评估学院在维护正义方面的运作方式,Equity,多样性,和包容性(JEDI)在该机构的最前沿。这项研究旨在展示学院内的卓越领域,并作为一项质量改进活动,以显示该机构需要改进的潜在领域。也启动了此过程,因为此类评估可能很快成为药学学院获得全面认证的要求。在分析了JEDI的正义部分以及建议进行探索和讨论的32个与正义相关的想法之后,并在术语表示下进一步细分,课程和教育,政策和程序,支持和资源,和大学氛围,发现了有用的数据。总的来说,找到的代表信息,政策和程序,大学氛围很难量化,因为大部分信息都是主观的;然而,这不会自动降低这些信息的有用性。与课程和教育有关的信息更可量化,但代表性可能不足。通过确定学院为教师提供的现成支持,可以分析与资源有关的信息,工作人员,和学生。在识别这些资源时,学院能够注意到任何需要实施的缺失支持,以确保正义得到维持。这个纵向的过程不仅让学院看到他们茁壮成长的地方,但它也突出了学院的任何缺点,同时为机构提供信息,以激发创新的想法,以加强和进一步促进正义。
At the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy, a longitudinal project is underway to assess how the college is functioning in terms of keeping
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) at the forefront of the institution. This study is intended to showcase areas of excellence within the college and as a quality improvement exercise to show the institution potential areas in need of improvement. This process was also initiated because such assessments may soon become a requirement for colleges of pharmacy to earn full accreditation. Upon analyzing the
Justice component of JEDI and the 32
justice-related ideas that were recommended for exploration and discussion, and further sub-categorized under the terms representation, curriculum and education, policies and procedures, support and resources, and college climate, useful data were discovered. Overall, the information found on representation, policy and procedure, and college climate was difficult to quantify as much of the information was subjective; however, this does not automatically discount this information from being useful. Information relating to curriculum and education was more quantifiable but may be underrepresented. Analyzing information found relating to resources was made possible by identifying readily available support offered at the college for faculty, staff, and students. In identifying these resources, the college was able to take note of any missing support that needed to be implemented to ensure
justice was being maintained. This longitudinal process not only allows the college to see areas where they thrive, but it also highlights any shortcomings of the college while providing the institution with information to spark innovative ideas to strengthen and further promote
justice.
