Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine This CME introduces pharmacogenomics and the influence of a patient’s genetic background on drug response. The course was developed by the AMA and the Food and Drug Administration, and is designed for physicians who have had little exposure to the topic in clinical practice or who want a better understanding of the topic.
