0.5 Contact Hours ...Faculty
OVERVIEW
The Basics of Precision Healthcare: Introduction to Psychiatric Pharmacogenomics is organized by Nurse Practitioner Associates for Continuing Education (NPACE).
Expiration Date: December 31, 2026
Description:
The pharmacology of psychotropics is complex, and one of the most contemporary tools available to facilitate clinical decision-making is Precision Medicine. Based in pharmacogenomics, this approach combines pharmacology (the study of medication) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to help prescribers make more personalized medication choices. This session lays the groundwork for these concepts as the basis for a multitude of applications in precision mental healthcare.
Learning Objectives:
After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Review basic genetics concepts to establish the foundation for pharmacogenomics.
- Define, discuss and develop the concept of “pharmacogenomics” as it relates to mental healthcare.
- Explore medication dynamics and kinetics in the context of genomics.
