Abstract

Advancements in modern medical care have required medical teams, including doctors, pharmacists, and nurses, to undergo specialized training. We have found that pre-practical training on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is one of the areas in which pharmacists can gain expertise. We developed and tested an educational program to provide training on TDM in community pharmacies, rather than hospitals, where TDM is often implemented. We investigated the educational effects of the program using a questionnaire administered to the students. The results of the questionnaire revealed that the TDM case studies were useful for the majority of students (>80%) and showed high learning efficiency compared with lectures. We focused on precision medicine based on pharmacogenomics (PGx), as this field has recently attracted much attention. The results of the questionnaire indicated that the educational program was highly effective at teaching the application of PGx for treatment decisions.
