The past decades have seen the exponential development of virtually every aspect of the practice of medicine. Included among these developments has been an exponential expansion in the number of available pharmaceuticals, and so the discipline of clinical pharmacology must assure that education of medical students and training of medical residents increases concomitantly. This is an exciting time for the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (ACCP) and other medically related societies. It is a time in which there is the opportunity to play a key role in re-shaping the medical school curriculum to take advantage of all of the new information about pharmacogenomics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacometrics and other parts of clinical therapeutics. Medical training must reflect the indispensable role of clinical pharmacology in the practice of medicine. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
