Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing is an evolving area of precision medicine that may provide information about how genetic variation can influence medication response. This live CME activity will review foundational concepts in pharmacogenomics and examine the clinical evidence, guidelines, and resources physicians can use when considering PGx information in patient care.
