Pharmacogenomics in a community pharmacy: ACT now

Pharmacists practicing in community pharmacy are accustomed to optimizing drug therapy through various medication therapy management programs. They use patient-specific information obtained from the patient and their prescribers to cater patient-specific drug regimens. Pharmacogenomics is rapidly evolving, and this field can help optimize medication therapy using an individual's genetic code to identify opportunities for increased or decreased adverse effects or changes in efficacy. Pharmacogenomic testing technology has made conducting pharmacogenomic testing in community pharmacies possible. Pharmacists must arm themselves with the knowledge and skills specific to pharmacogenomics in order to fully integrate this expanding area into patient care and turn this into a great opportunity.

 

[Advocacy] Currently, she shares her passion for pharmacy advancements with

pharmacists, patients and policy makers all over the country through

Pharmacogenomics. She was invited to the White House Office of Science and

Technology Policy and to the FDA to discuss the role of pharmacists in

pharmacogenomics.
