To remain competitive in any professional field, it is essential to obtain the latest and most up-to-date information and learn how to manage and utilize it effectively. This is particularly important in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, where new information is constantly emerging. Professionals in these fields need to develop efficient ways of digesting and utilizing this information.

Although access to information has become easier and more affordable than ever before, medical professionals are not always taking full advantage of it. In fact, the utilization of drug information services is far below that of more advanced countries. Drug therapy is an integral part of medical treatment, and the success of drug therapy depends on accurate information about drugs and appropriate utilization. Therefore, the utilization of drug information by healthcare professionals has a direct impact on the quality of medical treatment. To ensure that health professionals have access to the necessary drug information, pharmacists with expertise in drug therapy need to provide such information.

To address this need, the Drug Information Research Institute was established as the very first campus-based drug information center. Our mission is to provide fast and accurate drug information services to pharmacy students, educators, practitioners, and researchers nationwide.

We are committed to providing the most reliable and accurate information contents and technologies to serve you better. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any drug-related inquiries or concerns. We are always here to help.
