SORRY, SOLD OUT!

This discounted Applied Pharmacogenomics Program registration rate requires enrollee to have a paid full meeting registration for the 2018 ACCP Global Conference on Clinical Pharmacy in Seattle. 

The ACCP Academy’s Certificate Program, Precision Medicine: Applied Pharmacogenomics is a practice-based activity designed to help clinical pharmacists understand how genetic factors influence the efficacy and adverse effects of drug therapy. Participants will learn empirical strategies for applying this knowledge in a clinical setting.

Target Audience

Clinical pharmacists seeking to understand the principles of pharmacogenomics, integrate precision medication services into their practice, and/or educate trainees, patients, and other health care professionals about pharmacogenomics.

Benefits

• Practice-based activity provides practical guidance for the application of pharmacogenomic principles in current patient populations.
• Experienced, engaging faculty deliver a proven curriculum in an accessible format.
• A combination of live and online modules encourage participants to interact with instructors and peers for an enhanced educational experience.
• Activities are evaluated throughout the program to reinforce the content and assess each participant’s application of the material.
• Twenty hours of programming across seven modules and twelve topics.

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate an understanding of basic genetic concepts and nomenclature, and how genetic variation contributes to inter-individual variability in drug pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and adverse effects.
• Recommend clinical pharmacogenomic testing, when appropriate, and interpret the results to guide optimal drug selection and dosing.
• Use evidence-based guidelines and literature to formulate patient-specific medication recommendations based on pharmacogenomic test results and other patient-specific factors, and communicate these recommendations to the health care team.
• Educate patients and health care professionals about the principles of clinical pharmacogenomics, including clinical utility, cost-effectiveness, reimbursement, and ethical, legal, and social implications of pharmacogenomic testing.
• Develop a clinical pharmacogenomics implementation plan, including an assessment of clinical informatics resources (e.g., clinical decision support tools), which can be applied at the institutional or system level.

Technical Requirements

A computer with a high speed internet connection and audio is necessary. A webcam is preferred, but not required.
