Abstract
This article discusses the importance of pharmacoepidemiological studies in assessing the knowledge and preferences of specialists. This section outlines the author’s experience in organizing and conducting such studies, provides a rationale for the term "educational pharmacoepidemiology" (EPE), and presents information about the establishment of the first EPE laboratory. In the context of critical areas of evidence-based medicine, such as "Real-World Data" and "Real-World Evidence", the introduction of a bridging term, "Real-World Knowledge" (RWK), is justified.
