Pharmacists’ Role in Pharmacogenomics: Transforming Promise to Reality Through Perseverance and Knowledge

Abstract

Enormous strides have been made in sequencing technology, multi-gene panels, evidence-based guidelines, and actionable results. We have been moving from reactive pharmacogenomic testing based on single gene analysis to broad pre-emptive testing, where the pharmacogenetic information is available in electronic health records and prescription systems enabling dosing decisions before a prescription is written.
