George Kaplan has shown that US states with greater inequality have higher rates of violence, more disability, more people without health insurance, less investment in education and literacy, and poorer educational outcomes, all of which he calls structural characteristics. Moreover, the socioenvironmental characters of population areas are importantly related to the mortality rates, independent of the characters of individuals. In addition, personal and socioeconomic risk factors cluster together in areas of low income and high mortality. In a thorough local study of Alameda County, California, Kaplan examined parts of the pathways linking social class and mortality. His basic claim is that health inequality is correlated to social instability, which is in turn correlated to the lack of investment in structural characteristics, such as education, proximity of healthful food outlets, pharmacies, accessibility of transportation, etc.

The Challenges of Pharmacogenomics for Pharmacy Education, Practice, and Regulation, 207... 

Pharmacy educators are poised to adapt to the changes in practice that will result from the widespread adoption of drug therapies based on pharma-cogenomics. Pharmacy education has been in a constant state of evolution since the early twentieth century, when the education of pharmacists consisted almost entirely of basic chemistry applied to those compounds thought to be useful as medications. At that time, many academic pharmacy programs were housed in departments of chemistry. Schools and colleges of pharmacy now are independent academic units, many of which are fully integrated into major academic health science centers.

Criticism of the proposed institute also came from another quarter, namely from the ranks of organized pharmacy. Already in December of 1918, Edward Kremers of the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy, one of the nation s leading pharmaceutical educators and a researcher in plant chemistry, wrote to Frank Eldred of Eli Lilly and Company about the institute for drug research. Kremers complained "But why should American pharmaceutical manufacturers support an institution fostered by the American Chemical Society when pharmaceutical institutions are in the greatest need of all the financial support in sight. I trust that our pharmaceutical manufacturers will prove true to their own calling first" (44).
