Introduction: Pharmacogenomics is a science that incorporates three different field of studies; pharmacology, medicine and genomics. It has been found out that, applying pharmacogenomics in clinical setting can help in improving patient outcome hence justifying the needs for this subject to be incorporated in the curriculum of a pharmacy program. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and perception regarding pharmacogenomics among final year pharmacy students.

It was observed that 63.8% students have positive attitude towards pharmacogenomics while 7.2% having negative attitude and the rest are intermediate. In addition, majority of the students have good perception on pharmacogenomics with 59.4% responses, followed by 37.7% for medium perception and only 2.9% have bad perception toward pharmacogenomics.
