Personalized Medicine

The goal of this program is to provide clinicians with education on genetics, genomics and pharmacogenomics to incorporate into clinical practice, ultimately improving the delivery of healthcare.

 

 

Target Audience

This activity is intended for physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, nurses and other clinicians interested in genomics and personalized medicine.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
