Aim:
This study assessed pharmacist's knowledge and confidence in pharmacogenomics (PGx)-related concepts, and determined their needs with regard to education and training in PGx.
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey instrument was sent via postal mail to pharmacists (n = 319) who were randomly selected from the New York State database of licensed pharmacists. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were performed.
Results:
The response rate was 32% (n = 102). The majority (83%) of respondents had been exposed to basic concepts in genetics, while PGx was not an integral part of their education. Most respondents indicated being somewhat confident in their knowledge of PGx-related concepts. In addition, 64% of respondents reported being interested in attending 1-10 h of continuing education programs in PGx, and 42% of respondents indicated being interested in obtaining a certificate in PGx.
Conclusion:
Educational program development in the format of continuing education or certificate is needed to improve pharmacists' education, confidence and training needs in PGx.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
