Clinical pharmacology education in a division of cardiology.
A working model of how clinical pharmacology education can be interwoven into the matrix of an academic cardiology program that includes didactic teaching, clinical research, and patient care has been presented. Essential to the success of such a program is the commitment and dedication of both its full-time and voluntary faculty. Moreover, a comprehensive plan of organization and allocation of efforts is vital to the success of such a complex undertaking. As we look to the future, the discipline of clinical pharmacology will be increasingly relevant to the practicing cardiologist.
