2021 Healthcare Provider Genomics Education Week
Event Details
Genomics is becoming an increasingly important part of patient care, but healthcare providers may not be aware of the genomics education resources available. The National Human Genome Research Institute and its partners are organizing a social media campaign from June 7-11, 2021, that focuses on healthcare provider genomics education. This initiative will include panel discussions, webinars, Twitter chats and Q&As.

American Heart Association Webinar: Cardiovascular Pharmacogenetics for Healthcare Providers
3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT
We will review why we should start caring about pharmacogenetics/genomics in cardiology, as we dismiss some common myths. Then we will review current pharmacogenetic clinical guidelines & recommendations specific to cardiology. We will review the evidence and recommendations in depth for clopidogrel, and apply pharmacogenetics to a patient case. We will review resources & ongoing research in cardiovascular pharmacogenetics, and we will have open Q&A with an expert panel.
