AIM
This study assessed pharmacist's knowledge and confidence in pharmacogenomics (PGx)-related concepts, and determined their needs with regard to education and training in PGx.
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey instrument was sent via postal mail to pharmacists (n = 319) who were randomly selected from the New York State database of licensed pharmacists. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were performed.
RESULTS
The response rate was 32% (n = 102). The majority (83%) of respondents had been exposed to basic concepts in genetics, while PGx was not an integral part of their education. Most respondents indicated being somewhat confident in their knowledge of PGx-related concepts. In addition, 64% of respondents reported being interested in attending 1-10 h of continuing education programs in PGx, and 42% of respondents indicated being interested in obtaining a certificate in PGx.
CONCLUSION
Educational program development in the format of continuing education or certificate is needed to improve pharmacists' education, confidence and training needs in PGx.
目的
本研究评估了药剂师对药物基因组学（PGx）相关概念的知识和信心，并确定了他们在PGx教育和培训方面的需求。
方法
通过邮政邮件向从纽约州执业药剂师数据库中随机抽取的药剂师（n = 319）发送横断面调查问卷。进行了描述性和双变量统计。
结果
回复率为32%（n = 102）。大多数（83%）受访者接触过遗传学的基本概念，而PGx并非其教育的组成部分。大多数受访者表示对自己在PGx相关概念方面的知识有些信心。此外，64%的受访者表示有兴趣参加1 - 10小时的PGx继续教育课程，42%的受访者表示有兴趣获得PGx证书。
结论
需要以继续教育或证书形式开展教育项目，以改善药剂师在PGx方面的教育、信心和培训需求。
