臨床における薬理学の意義〜基礎を学び応用する

抄録

In team medicine, pharmacists are expected to propose evidence-based drug therapies for patients' conditions. Pharmacists should have the ability to propose the most appropriate drug treatment that maximizes efficacy and safety for the patients based on their knowledge of pharmacology. Since medicine is based on scientific evidence, it makes a lot of sense to conduct research in order to acquire applied skills. Common processes in clinical practice and research include identifying a problem, organizing information, proposing a solution, analyzing the results, and reconsidering based on the evaluation. Pharmacists generally have long research careers as students and are expected to apply their strengths to clinical practice. In order to establish a pharmacist's clinical presence, it is important for pharmacists to understand the expertise of physicians, nurses, and other professionals and, moreover, to be aware of their own strengths. For lectures and practical training to develop a sense of pharmacotherapy, the curriculum map should be horizontally integrated with the basic courses and vertically integrated with the clinical courses.

In this symposium, I would like to introduce strategies for pharmacists to play an active role in team medicine and discuss the significance of pharmacology in clinical practice.
