One innovation at Truman Medical Center, the primary teaching hospital of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is the addition of the clinical pharmacist as a full-time member of the patient-care and educational teams. These practitioner-educators share responsibility for the patients' drug therapies and for the provision of instruction in basic pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics in the medical school. Examination of the cost impact of these practitioners in separate studies indicates that they reduce drug costs. The unique pharmacology program provided solely by these clinical pharmacists is both well received and successful.
堪萨斯城密苏里大学的主要教学医院杜鲁门医疗中心的一项创新举措，是增加临床药剂师作为患者护理和教育团队的全职成员。这些从业教育者共同负责患者的药物治疗，并在医学院提供基础药理学和药物治疗学方面的教学。在单独的研究中对这些从业者的成本影响进行考察表明，他们降低了药物成本。仅由这些临床药剂师提供的独特药理学项目既受到好评又很成功。
