Understanding the role of pharmacogenomics is key to ensuring medication efficacy and achieving optimal patient outcomes. This webinar will provide a framework for applying pharmacogenomic information to prescribing decisions through the integration of case-based examples across specialties and by providing a walkthrough of key pharmacogenomic references. Guideline-based recommendations will be discussed across various health topics, including cardiovascular health, infectious disease, neurology, and psychiatry. Attendees can expect to learn more about how pharmacological variability can impact medication efficacy, how to interpret and apply pharmacogenomic information in clinical practice, and how to navigate key pharmacogenomic references.
