As medication experts, pharmacists are being looked at to lead the way in the education and implementation of pharmacogenomics (PGx). PGx is the relationship between an individual’s genetics and response to medication. Currently, PGx information is in the package labeling for more than 160 FDA approved medications. Patient genetic information generated in the laboratory needs to be interpreted and applied in the context of a given patient’s medications. Gain the expertise to interpret and apply DNA/genetic data and be a leader in the area of pharmacogenomics! Whether in the community, ambulatory care, long-term care, or other setting, pharmacists are needed to drive PGx applications to optimize drug therapy.
