Introduction: The prevalence of polypharmacy and the increasing availability of pharmacogenetic information in clinical practice have raised the prospect of data-driven clinical decision making when addressing the issues of drug-drug interactions and genetic polymorphisms in metabolizing enzymes. Inhibition of metabolizing enzymes in drug interactions can lead to genotype-phenotype discrepancies (phenoconversion) that reduce the relevance of individual pharmacogenetic information.
Areas Covered: The aim of this review is to provide an overview on existing models of phenoconversion and we discuss how phenoconversion models may be developed to estimate joint drug-interactions and genetic effects.

Objective: Pharmacotherapy outcomes may be influenced as much by psychosocial factors as by medication. Comprehensive discussion of such factors may contribute to better patient outcomes and may counter aspects of a curriculum that prioritizes efficiency and that has the potential to undermine clinician empathy. This pilot study aimed to explore the benefits of teaching psychosocial aspects of prescribing and student acceptance of such teaching.
