The field of pharmacogenomics has grown to be quite promising for the medical industry. Therefore, it is critical to assess the attitudes and knowledge of healthcare professionals. The study of interindividual differences in DNA sequence linked to pharmacological response is known as pharmacogenomics, or PGx. There have been several attempts to incorporate this area of research into standard therapeutic procedures. Before initiating clinical PGx in a hospital setting, we provide a brief overview of PGx and its function in enhancing treatment outcomes. Prioritization should involve assessing the PGx evidence that is now available, reviewing the medications that are most relevant, and figuring out which variant alleles and drug-gene combinations are the most actionable. Pharmacogenomics, or PGx, is one of the fields of precision medicine with the greatest potential to swiftly transform standard healthcare.Due to the quick advances in PGx knowledge obtained from extensive basic and clinical research as well as the falling costs of laboratory testing, there is presently increased interest in PGx and anticipation of an imminent clinical translation with major therapeutic impact. However, integrating PGx into clinical workflows is not an easy task; multidisciplinary cooperation and thorough procedures are needed. A greater knowledge of unresolved difficulties has resulted from the pioneering models for clinical PGx implementation developed by a number of national and international institutes.
