April 28; 1–2 pm EDT	Pharmacogenomics: Providing Personalized Medicine Pharmacogenomics is an important part of precision medicine; it is the study of how genetic makeup can affect a person's response to a drug. Health care professionals (HCPs) can use pharmacogenomic information to help decide the most appropriate treatment for each individual. This activity will provide an overview on the clinical indications for using pharmacogenomics and explore resources for interpreting pharmacogenomics. The basic science of liver enzymes and their genetic variation will also be discussed. Live, Accredited Webcast
June 9; 1–2 pm EDT	Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing: Providing Personalized Medicine Genetic testing, marketed directly to customers, has become more and more prevalent and is expanding the number of people who are obtaining information about their DNA (or genome). Consumers send in a DNA sample and receive their results directly; in most cases, bypassing a health care professional (HCP). Consumers may receive confusing or unexpected results and may be in need of competent guidance from a knowledgeable HCP. This activity will provide an overview on direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing, the role of HCPs in helping consumers make educated decisions about using these services and the future of DTC genetic testing.
