Knowledge scores were moderate and correlated with academic level and pharmacy school attended. Most participants were open to providing pharmacogenomics testing and interpretation through pharmacy services, but the majority demonstrated concerns about potential misinterpretation of test results and the resulting patients' anxiety. Students cited limited accessibility, while pharmacists identified the lack of standardised guidelines as the main roadblock.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study highlights the need for education to prepare pharmacists for their role in pharmacogenomics.
