Fundamental operational aspects of developing a pharmacy clinical pharmacogenomics practice are described, and the specific experience of a multisite health system in developing a pharmacogenomics service is discussed.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>Considerations for the development of a clinical pharmacy-driven pharmacogenomics service include understanding testing selection, targeting the appropriate patient population, exploration of reimbursement, design of the practice, and education of the pharmacogenomics workforce. Testing can be preemptive or reactive, can occur in house or as a send-out service, and can be panel based or specific to a single gene. Pharmacogenomics is applicable to many medicine specialties, making deployment of services to strategic groups essential. Reimbursement for pharmacogenomics is variable and may pose a barrier to implementation. The demand for pharmacogenomics education for pharmacy students and as a formal postgraduate career path is growing.

Across all specialties, 75.4% of credentials were successfully recertified in 2022. Most credentials were recertified by CPE (92.1%). Successfully recertified credentials were predominately held by pharmacists practicing within the US (96.7%), those between the ages of 31 and 40 years (51.9%), and those completing the first 7-year certification cycle (73.9%).
