Learning Objectives

• Explain fundamental genetic and pharmacogenomic concepts using appropriate nomenclature and terminology.
• Describe how genetic variation influences drug pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical outcomes.
• Educate patients and health care professionals on key principles of clinical pharmacogenomics, including clinical utility, cost-effectiveness, reimbursement considerations, and ethical, legal, and social implications of pharmacogenomic testing.
• Identify appropriate clinical scenarios for recommending clinical pharmacogenomic testing.
• Interpret pharmacogenomic test results to guide evidence-based drug selection and individualized dosing strategies.
• Formulate patient-specific pharmacotherapy recommendations based on pharmacogenomic test results, evidence-based guidelines, scientific literature, and other relevant patient factors.
• Effectively communicate pharmacogenomic-informed recommendations to the health care team to optimize patient care.
• Evaluate potential barriers and drivers to pharmacogenomic adoption within diverse healthcare settings.
• Design a pharmacogenomics implementation plan for clinical practice, including assessment of institutional resources such as clinical informatics and decision support systems.

Schedule of Review

Content and learning materials will be reviewed prior to and after each offering of the Activity.

Activity Evaluation   

Electronic Program Evaluations will be performed at the conclusion of the program and required prior to issuing certificates and CPE.

Participant Evaluation

To receive continuing pharmacy education credit and a certificate of completion, participants must complete all self-study lecture-based assessments and receive 70% or better on each, receive 80% or better on the cumulative final exam, and attest to attending all ‘live’ virtual sessions.  Two attempts will be allowed for the final course examination.

Program Hands-On Practice Activities and Assessments

See the separate schedule for weekly details and due dates.  The activities and assessments in this program include:
