The 145th Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (Fukuoka)

Organizer: Satohiro Masuda (Dept. of Clin. Pharm., Himeji Dokkyo Univ.), Hiroki Itoh (Oita Univ. Hosp. Dept. Pharmacy), Ryuji Ikeda (Univ. Miyazaki Hosp. Dept. Pharmacy), Hirofumi Jono (Kumamoto Univ. Hosp. Dept. Pharmacy)

Recently, based on innovative advancements in pharmacotherapy, a variety of therapeutic drugs have recently been discovered. Although novel treatment agents that modulate the function of target molecules have been widely used in clinical settings, multiple trials and errors are often necessary due to a lack of enough clinical evidence, especially in new innovative pharmacotherapies. Therefore, clinical pharmacists are required to provide novel clinical evidence for more proper medication in medical settings.
In this symposium, we would like to present the latest topics and their backgrounds concerning the basic and clinical research conducted by "pharmacist-scientist" working in clinical, and discuss the current status of research conducted by hospital pharmacists, their issues, and future prospects, for discussing the meaning and importance of research activities in clinical settings.
