RxFiles

RxFiles is an academic detailing program providing objective, comparative drug information to clinicians. The program began in 1997 as a service for Saskatoon family physicians. In 2000, the program was expanded to provide service to physicians throughout Saskatchewan. Efforts to keep our drug selection tools up to date resulted in the publication of the RxFiles Drug Comparison Charts book, beginning in 2001. The book has become a practical tool for evidence based and clinically relevant drug use information throughout Canada. Funding for RxFiles Academic Detailing comes from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health and from the sale of our materials. We do not accept any funding from the pharmaceutical industry. RxFiles continues to serve health providers and educators through newsletter reviews, Q&As, Trial Summaries, clinical tools, journal articles, and up-to-date drug comparison charts. The clinical relevance of these materials comes from their initial focus as academic detailing tools for the front line practitioner wanting to provide the best possible drug therapy for their patients. In 2018, we moved to the University of Saskatchewan, and are based out of the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition.
