Ethical dilemmas in pharmacy.

Results of surveys in which pharmacy students and pharmacists responded to ethical dilemmas are discussed. Respondents indicated a high level of concern about patient welfare and patient rights in dilemmas involving conflicts with socio-economic issues, and with peers and physicians. Conflicts that might arise as the roles of pharmacists change and the health-care systems evolve are also discussed.

Thinking about ethical dilemmas in pharmacy.

Pharmacy students as well as pharmacists were surveyed on ethical dilemmas in pharmacy practice. The respondents indicated a high degree of concern over patient welfare on which there was agreement. The major area of disagreements was on economic concerns. Since it takes time to develop a professional ethical system, it seems desirable to begin discussion of ethical dilemmas as early as possible in the curriculum.
