Goals

The Oncology Genomics Certificate Program is an interactive, practice-based program designed to help clinical pharmacists develop skills in interpreting genomic reports, developing treatment plans based on genomic data and interacting with an interprofessional molecular oncology team.

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate appropriate use of basic genetic concepts and nomenclature, and how genetic variation contributes to interindividual variability in drug response.
2. Apply genomic knowledge to evaluate genomic reports and develop therapeutic plans.
3. Demonstrate the ability to participate in an interprofessional molecular oncology team to interpret molecular testing results and develop a therapeutic plan.
4. Demonstrate the ability to 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.

Competencies:

Domain 1 – Foundational Knowledge

Domain 2 – Essentials for Practice and Care

Domain 3 – Approach to Practice and Care

Requisites

Learner must complete:

• the asynchronous online portions of the program consist of completing online exercises and preparing cases for presentation.  Participants should expect to spend 9 hours completing these activities outside of the course.

Faculty Expertise

Program faculty, led by Program Director Jill Kolesar, developed the curriculum to address program outcomes. Faculty divided content presentations according to their respective areas of expertise/practice. Presentation platforms, practice opportunities, assessments, and feedback were all developed by the faculty to maximize convenience of flip-classroom teaching and live team-based learning.

Guest faculty with specific expertise will contribute to the program with case presentations and discussion facilitation.

The means of communication for this program will be via the learning management system, Canvas for Instructure (for pre-recorded modules) or Zoom (for live modules). Throughout the entire program, the instructors are available by email or phone to answer questions and provide feedback.
