Many pharmacy schools have increased the amount of economics coursework to which pharmacy students are exposed in their prepharmacy and pharmacy curriculums. Students obtain competencies aimed at understanding the basic concepts of microeconomic theory, such as supply and demand. However, pharmacy students often have trouble applying these principles to real world pharmaceuticals or healthcare markets. Our objective is to make economics more relevant for pharmacy students. Specifically, we detail and provide pharmacy-relevant examples of the effects of monopoly power, barriers to marketplace entry, regulatory environment, third party insurance, information asymmetry and unanticipated changes in the marketplace on the supply and demand for pharmaceuticals and healthcare services.
许多药学院增加了药学专业学生在药学预科和药学课程中接触经济学课程的数量。学生们获得旨在理解微观经济理论基本概念的能力，如供求关系。然而，药学专业学生常常难以将这些原理应用于现实世界中的药品或医疗保健市场。我们的目标是使经济学对药学专业学生更具相关性。具体而言，我们详细阐述并提供与药学相关的例子，说明垄断势力、市场进入壁垒、监管环境、第三方保险、信息不对称以及市场中意外变化对药品和医疗保健服务供求的影响。
