Pharmacists are positioned to provide medication counseling and drug information to patients. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and education of over 700 pharmacists concerning pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenetic testing.
A multiquestion, online survey was developed to assess healthcare provider knowledge, attitudes and education concerning pharmacogenetic testing.
More than 90% of pharmacists were interested in learning more about pharmacogenetics and testing, with those with less than 10 years of experience were more likely to want web-based continuing education programs. The pharmacists were unlikely to have had formalized education regarding pharmacogenetics, were very likely to rate their knowledge accurately, and were more likely to have a positive attitude about pharmacogenetics if they had received education regarding pharmacogenetics.
Most pharmacists were interested in learning more about pharmacogenetic testing.
药剂师有能力为患者提供用药咨询和药物信息。本研究评估了700多名药剂师关于药物遗传学和药物遗传学检测的知识、态度及教育情况。
开展了一项多问题在线调查，以评估医疗服务提供者关于药物遗传学检测的知识、态度及教育情况。
超过90%的药剂师有兴趣进一步了解药物遗传学和检测，经验少于10年的药剂师更希望获得基于网络的继续教育项目。药剂师不太可能接受过关于药物遗传学的正规教育，很有可能准确评估自己的知识水平，并且如果接受过药物遗传学教育，就更有可能对药物遗传学持积极态度。
大多数药剂师有兴趣进一步了解药物遗传学检测。
