摘要
Pharmacists play essential roles in the various aspects of nutrition support pharmacotherapy. According to the available literature, deficiencies in pharmacists' knowledge and skills in nutrition support exist. Furthermore, postgraduate year two (PGY2) nutrition support training positions no longer exist in the United States. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)-accredited postgraduate year one (PGY1) residencies do not require nutrition support rotations, and pharmacy schools may not provide the foundation to prepare students to meet the challenges in clinical practice. This article discusses the roles of the pharmacists in nutrition support, the current climate of nutrition support education in pharmacy schools and postgraduate programs, and solutions to address the challenges associated with the inadequacy of learning experiences in nutrition support.
