AMP Certificate Program: Pharmacogenomics: Genes, Drugs, and Genotyping: AMP Pharmacogenomics Guidelines

Enroll

This AMP certificate program  contains about 4.5 hours of lecture content, the associated pdf slides of the lectures, pre-tests, and post-lecture tests, additional downloadable resources, and an AMP Certificate of Completion.

CME and CMLE credits are not available for this certificate program.

Pharmacogenomics is an important and evolving area of medical testing that combines pharmacology and genomics to identify genomic variability that can affect individual drug response. There is a need in the general medical and laboratory communities to understand the fundamentals of pharmacogenomics and the impacts of molecular testing on optimizing drug selection. This certificate program is intended to provide an introduction to pharmacogenomics and to review AMP expert consensus recommendations for standardization of alleles for clinical pharmacogenomic genotyping assays.

The course contains a pre-test to test your baseline knowledge of the content. It is then followed by presentations by subject matter experts and then a post-test after each section to test your knowledge of the content. It also provides additional useful resources including a resource list fill of links that all pharmacogenomics professionals should know and a Molecular in My PocketTM card outlining the Tier 1 and Tier 2 recommended alleles in one handy worksheet. Finally, case study questions at the end will challenge you to implement what you've learned.

Showcase your knowledge by completing the entire course and passing each post-test with a score of 75% or greater and receiving the AMP Certificate of Completion.

Target Audience: Molecular pathologists, residents, laboratory directors, technologists, and others who have some prior exposure to molecular diagnostic testing. Secondary audiences include oncologists, genetic counselors, primary care clinicians, and other health care professionals.
