Working environment for historically marginalized faculty, administrators, and librarians in pharmacy education.

Graduating such diverse pharmacists could assist in reducing healthcare disparities. Promoting diversity requires a climate that is inclusive of people from all backgrounds.

Integrating social determinants into pharmacotherapy courses: A case-based learning approach.

Pharmacist Consult Reports to Support Pharmacogenomics Report Interpretation.

Background: The clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics (PGx) has often involved teams that include pharmacists. PGx laboratories often provide baseline information within the laboratory report that is based on Food and Drug Administration and Clinical Pharmacogenomics Implementation Consortium guidance, but information is often provided independent of concurrent disease states or medication use, among other clinical factors. Major challenges to widescale implementation of PGx include lack of physician experience or confidence in interpreting the data.

Prescriber acceptance rate of pharmacists' recommendations.
