OVERVIEW

This conference has been CANCELLED.

2020 MedStar Genetic Medicine: Pharmacogenomics is organized by MedStar Health and will be held on Apr 04, 2020 at Bethesda Marriott at Pooks Hill, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America.

Target Audience:
Anesthesiology, Cardiovascular Disease, Family Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Internal Medicine, Interventional Cardiology, Medical Genetics and Genomics, Medical Oncology, Oncology, Orthopaedics, Other, Pain Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry

Accreditation:
This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 4.75 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits for learning and change.

Description:
The program aims to provide an overview of genomic medicine and pharmacogenetics, review specialties where advancements in pharmacogenetics can improve the quality of care, and offer perspective from leading experts in how pharmacogenetics can transform clinical practice. Despite patient and clinician interest in pharmacogenetics, education is often the limiting factor to clinical application. The program will introduce foundational pharmacogenetic concepts, examine clinical evidence, and discuss the translation of evidence to patient care. Attendees will be exposed to a variety of use cases for pharmacogenetics, including pain management, psychiatry, cardiology, and supportive care. Case-based discussions will allow practitioners and healthcare professionals to hear and discuss real-world experiences in using pharmacogenetics in the daily practice of medicine.

Objectives:
Nurse Learning Objectives:
• Summarize foundational concepts related to genomic medicine and pharmacogenetics.
• Recall key resources for the clinical application of pharmacogenetics.
• Recognize that evidence levels vary between different drug-gene pairs.
• Identify clinical scenarios where a genetic result can guide therapy.
• Explain how pharmacogenetic results can be used in prescribing decisions.

Pharmacist Learning Objectives:
• Summarize foundational concepts related to genomic medicine and pharmacogenetics.
• Recall key resources for the clinical application of pharmacogenetics.
• Recognize that evidence levels vary between different drug-gene pairs.
• Identify clinical scenarios where a genetic result can guide therapy.
• Explain how pharmacogenetic results can be integrated into pharmacy practice.

Physician Learning Objectives:
• Summarize foundational concepts related to genomic medicine and pharmacogenetics.
• Recall key resources for the clinical application of pharmacogenetics.
• Recognize that evidence levels vary between different drug-gene pairs.
• Identify clinical scenarios where a genetic result can guide therapy
• Explain how pharmacogenetic results can be used in prescribing decisions.
