Why you should attend:

Individual genetic variance can play a major role in a patient’s response to drug therapy, and can be the cause of both lack of response and/or toxicity. Genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, and precision medicine are gaining momentum as a way to optimize medication therapy by choosing the most appropriate drugs and doses for individual patients.

Learning Objectives:

1.       Understand pharmacogenomic nomenclature

2.       Describe the mechanisms by which gene variants can affect drug response;

3.       Recognize the pharmacogenomics applications in cardiology, oncology, psychiatry, infectious disease, and pain management
