A nationwide cross-sectional survey of pharmacy students on pharmacogenetic testing in The Netherlands.

AIM
To benchmark knowledge and attitude of pharmacy students toward pharmacogenetics (PGx) and PGx testing and compare the results with practicing colleagues.


METHODS
All pharmacy students in The Netherlands were invited to participate in a web-based survey consisting of 28 questions. Out of the 824 invited students, 148 individuals (18.0%) completed the questionnaire. All responders believed in the concept of PGx and had high expectations toward PGx. The majority (96.6%) had received some form of education on PGx, but only 12.8% felt adequately informed.


RESULTS
When compared with practicing pharmacists, differences were observed in the use of information and feeling qualified to recommend PGx testing.


CONCLUSION
More education on PGx is required in the curriculum to fill the perceived knowledge gap among future pharmacists.
