title: The clinical pharmacist in drug research and development. Pharmacoepidemiology.
abstract: From the inception of drug monitoring research programs, pharmacists have played a key role in their design and implementation. As greater emphasis is placed on the value of these data bases, pharmacists will be increasingly called upon to conduct epidemiologic studies. Formalized training in the principles of epidemiology and biostatistics will allow pharmacists to expand their role in this important area of research.
