Pharmacogenomics Virtual Summit 3: Integration into Practice

This was the third of six webinars that were held virtually during the months of February and March 2021 to provide guidance on pharmacogenomics and understand the health equity implications of adoption.

The webinars are sponsored by AMA and ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists).

This webinar:

• Gave examples of pharmacogenomic use cases from a range of practice settings
• Defined laboratory technologies currently used for pharmacogenomics
• Discussed how to communicate pharmacogenomic results
• Identified strategies to provide clinicians with pharmacogenomic education
