Description
Rianne Zaal and eight colleagues published a 2026 study of diversity among hospital pharmacy residents in the Netherlands. Diversity in wider society is not well reflected among medical residents and specialists, and hospital pharmacy may have the same gap. At least 35 percent of pharmacy students have a Turkish, African, Latin American, or Asian background.
The researchers examined whether that share carries through to hospital pharmacy residency. They measured diversity by gender, age, ethnic background, and social background. They also studied how much diversity matters in the selection of residents. Their findings can help training programs check whether their intake fairly reflects the pool of students coming through pharmacy schools.
