Individualizing Medicine 2016: Advancing Care Through Genomics focuses on how to translate the promise of genomic medicine to your practice. Expert speakers, focused breakout sessions, case studies and a poster session provide opportunities to discover and discuss emerging topics in applied genomics.
Designed with the professional in mind, concurrent sessions offer practical genomic medicine applications in practice to in-depth discussions about the microbiome, epigenomics, pharmacogenomics, and more. Continuing education opportunities are offered.
This activity is eligible for AMA PRA Category 1 creditTM, CPEs for pharmacists, and pending CEUs for genetic counselors.
