Objective.为了评估是否一个必要的第一年的课程，遗传学和药物基因组学的原则，并融入后续课程影响药学专业学生的药物基因组学的看法。在2014年至2016年课程的第一周和最后一周，向专业年级（PY）1学生分发了一份调查。对小学二、三、四年级的学生进行跟踪调查。受访者一致认为药物基因组学具有临床相关性。课程结束后，PY 1学生在药物基因组学的应用中对自己的知识和角色更加熟悉。虽然他们的舒适度在一定程度上恢复，PY 2-PY 4学生认为他们应该能够在临床上应用药物基因组学。大多数PY 2-PY 4学生表示，以后的课程审查药物基因组学。遗传学和药物基因组学的必修课程可以促进药剂师应该了解并参与临床遗传信息的使用。将药物基因组学概念纳入随后的课程内容可能有助于维持这些观念。
Objective. To assess whether a required first-year course, Principles in Genetics and Pharmacogenomics, and integration into subsequent courses affected pharmacy students' perceptions of pharmacogenomics.Methods. A survey was distributed to Professional Year (PY) 1 students during the first and last weeks of the course from 2014 to 2016. A follow-up survey was distributed to PY2, PY3, and PY4 students.Results. Respondents consistently agreed that pharmacogenomics is clinically relevant. After the course, PY1 students are more comfortable in their knowledge and role in the application of pharmacogenomics. Although their comfort reverts to some degree, PY2-PY4 students believe that they should be able to apply pharmacogenomics clinically. Most PY2-PY4 students indicate that later courses review pharmacogenomics.Conclusion. A required course in genetics and pharmacogenomics can promote a perception that pharmacists should have knowledge of, and be involved in the use of genetic information clinically. Inclusion of pharmacogenomic concepts in subsequent curricular components may help in maintaining these perceptions.
