Pharmacogenomics: Foundations, Competencies, and the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process

Pharmacogenomics: Foundations, Competencies, and the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process

Provides a basic and clinical foundation for the application of drug-gene interactions in clinical therapeutics. As the field of PGx advances, there is a need for a pharmacy-based, directed resource that can be a reference for practicing pharmacists and student pharmacists. Specific information is presented through “PGx Pearls.” Each of the 17 cases are presented in the context of the PPCP, with “Competency Connections” related to genetics and genomics. Each of the 29 chapters provides content and objective related questions with the answers provided. Two appendices are included.

KEY FEATURES:

Connects the clinical application with basic foundational principles of pharmacogenomics

Includes pharmacogenomics case studies across therapeutic areas

PPCP-focused content that reinforces the pharmacists’ role in pharmacogenomics

Ideal for adoption in courses teaching pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics
