美国的州和联邦当局已经确定药剂师在恐怖主义侦查活动中的重要性。然而，很少有药剂师接受过救灾规划或在灾害现场提供服务的培训。肯塔基州大学药学院、钱德勒医疗中心（UKCMC）与一个学术医疗中心、城市和农村社区药剂师、药学和传染病专家以及两个州药学协会合作，制定了一个远程培训方案。根据测试前和测试后的结果判断，生物恐怖主义培训知识有了很大的提高。在两年的培训中，共有142名执业药师获得了认证（约占肯塔基州所有药师的4.7%）。此外，还为该州建立了一个受过生物恐怖主义培训的药剂师网络。
State and federal authorities in the USA have identified pharmacists as important in terrorism detection activities. However few pharmacists are trained for disaster response planning, or providing services at disaster sites. A distance training programme was created by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Kentucky, Chandler Medical Center (UKCMC) in collaboration with an academic Medical Center, urban and rural community pharmacists, experts in pharmacy and infectious disease, and two state pharmacy associations. There was a substantial improvement in bioterrorism training knowledge as judged by pre- and posttest results. During two years of training, a total of 142 licensed pharmacists received certification (approximately 4.7% of all those in Kentucky). In addition, a network of bioterrorism-trained pharmacists was created for the state.
