摘要
The increasing burden of HIV care threatens to overwhelm healthcare providers and systems in the developing world. Clinical pharmacologists, applying the training that they possess in regulatory science, rational prescribing, and teaching therapeutics, could improve the delivery of care in that setting. However, the shortage of clinical pharmacologists and the emigration of healthcare providers limit the ability to take advantage of this approach. Possible solutions are outlined in this Commentary.
