Integrating Pharmacogenomics into Clinical Practice: A Comprehensive Online Certificate Program

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is revolutionizing patient care by personalized medicine approach. It’s the study of how an individual’s genes affect their response to medication. Mayo Clinic experts have created an online certificate program to help pharmacists, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and students integrate PGx into their clinical practice.

Engaging Content and Flexible Learning

This comprehensive online program offers over 16 hours of engaging content, including case studies and more than 50 videos that can be reviewed at your own pace, anytime, anywhere. Earn a certificate of completion and CME credit in the process.
