To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding the role of colleges of pharmacy in meeting the pharmaceutical industry's pharmacoeconomic needs, an invitational conference was conducted by the University of Arizona's Center for Pharmaceutical Economics on January 14 and 15, 1993, in Tucson, Arizona. This article represents the program design, program types, and consensus development portions of that conference. A description of current needs in pharmacoeconomics was obtained through transcripts of industry and university presentations, panel discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Conference participants generally agreed that pharmacoeconomics holds great potential for making significant contributions to health care but that it will not flourish without deliberate and cooperative efforts. Participants from both industry and academia voiced the need for the two parties to work together to increase the visibility and understanding of pharmacoeconomics and to meet the training and staffing challenges facing the discipline.
为了提供一个就药学院在满足制药行业药物经济学需求方面的作用交流想法的论坛，亚利桑那大学药物经济学中心于1993年1月14日至15日在亚利桑那州图森市举办了一次邀请会议。本文介绍了该会议的项目设计、项目类型以及共识达成部分。通过行业和大学演讲、小组讨论及问答环节的文字记录，了解了药物经济学当前的需求情况。会议参与者普遍认为，药物经济学在为医疗保健做出重大贡献方面具有巨大潜力，但如果没有深思熟虑的合作努力，它将无法蓬勃发展。来自行业和学术界的参与者都表示，双方需要共同努力，提高药物经济学的知名度和认知度，并应对该学科面临的培训和人员配备挑战。
