title: Pharmacogenomics: implications and considerations for pharmacists.
abstract: The Renaissance period of world history is analogous to the renewal of healthcare that will arise from pharmacogenomic discoveries. Just as geography, science, art and communication were reawakened by the works of Columbus, da Vinci, Michelangelo and Gutenberg; genetic science will revitalize the clinical role of pharmacists and generate new interest in pharmacy research and education.
