The clinical pharmacist is an integral member of the Docent team at the University of Missouri--Kansas City School of Medicine with duties in both teaching and patient care. These doctoral-level clinical pharmacists have sole responsibility for providing instruction in basic pharmacology and pharmacokinetics and for teaching pharmacotherapeutics to medical students and house officers at the Truman Medical Center. The pharmacology programs have been well received and are successful. Student evaluations have been positive, and acquisition of knowledge as measured by the computer-generated objective exam referred to as the Quarterly Profile Examination indicate progressive acquisition of basic pharmacologic information during periods of exposure to the clinical pharmacist. Analysis of part I of the National Boards of Medical Examiners Test shows that medical students with this instruction achieved higher scores in pharmacology than their mean performance on part I. House officers working with these clinical pharmacists also show progressive acquisition of basic pharmacologic knowledge as measured by the Quarterly Profile Exam. Preliminary evaluation of this nontraditional method of providing pharmacologic instruction indicates that the program is effective.
临床药剂师是密苏里大学堪萨斯城医学院讲师团队的重要成员，负责教学和患者护理工作。这些拥有博士学位的临床药剂师专门负责教授基础药理学和药代动力学，并向杜鲁门医疗中心的医学生和住院医生讲授药物治疗学。药理学课程广受好评且十分成功。学生评价积极，通过计算机生成的客观考试（即季度概况考试）衡量的知识掌握情况表明，在接触临床药剂师期间，学生逐步掌握了基础药理学信息。美国医学考试委员会第一部分考试的分析表明，接受该指导的医学生在药理学方面的得分高于他们在第一部分的平均成绩。通过季度概况考试衡量，与这些临床药剂师一起工作的住院医生也逐步掌握了基础药理学知识。对这种非传统药理学教学方法的初步评估表明该项目是有效的。
