Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Define pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine;
2. Describe how you might counsel patients about the potential benefits and risks of pharmacogenomic testing;
3. Review clinically relevant examples of pharmacogenetics and explain how knowledge of the genetics of an individual’s metabolism may impact choice and/or dosage of medications;
4. Discuss common and relevant genetic variants that can be identified through genetic testing that impact clinical decision-making in the primary care setting to improve patient outcomes.
