Are You Prepared for
Precision Medicine?
The Future of Genetics in Medicine, Clinical Genetics and Genomics for Health Practitioners
In association with the University of Pittsburgh
Together with the University of Pittsburgh, we offer a CME accredited program, geared for health professionals with advanced degrees. Welcome to Course P2021: Cygenex Pharmacogenomics (PGx).
​
Precision medicine promises the right drug for the right patient the first time. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is one way to achieve this and is already being implemented in clinical practice.
This course prepares practitioners to meet the challenge of using pharmacogenomics (PGx) and precision medicine to personalize treatment for patients.
What You Will Learn
Working with real data, you will learn about pharmacogenomics, clinical decision making, and implementation strategies. Topics include:
-
Basic genetic/genomic concepts
-
Role of genetics in disease
-
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) and PGx decision making
-
Ethical, legal, and societal implications
-
Communication and PGx care models
