Next-Gen Healthcare: An Introduction to Pharmacogenomics

About this course

Pharmacogenomics is transforming the way clinicians approach medication management, yet most healthcare providers report low confidence in applying genetic information in practice. This continuing education course delivers a practical, evidence-based introduction to pharmacogenomics (PGx) and its role in precision medicine, giving clinicians the foundational knowledge and clinical skills needed to move beyond trial-and-error prescribing. Learners will explore how inherited genetic variation influences drug response, examine the clinical significance of cytochrome P450 enzymes including CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9, and develop a working understanding of metabolizer phenotypes and their implications for drug selection and dosing. The course also covers how to identify appropriate candidates for PGx testing, navigate the ordering process, and apply results at the point of care using clinical decision support tools. Real-world case examples illustrate how pharmacogenomic data translates into individualized medication decisions across common drug classes.

What you will learn

At the completion of this activity, healthcare providers will be able to:  

  • Describe the principles of pharmacogenomics and its role in drug response variability
  • Define precision medicine and its relationship to pharmacogenomic-guided therapy
  • Explain the clinical rationale for integrating pharmacogenomic testing into patient care decisions
  • Identify the steps involved in ordering and obtaining pharmacogenomic testing in clinical practice
  • Interpret pharmacogenomic test results to inform individualized medication selection and dosing
