Introducing Test2LearnTM Pharmacogenomics Certificate
In partnership with the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, NACDS has adapted the innovative Test2Learn platform to enable students to learn about this cutting edge topic by using real genetic data in highly-interactive exercises. Through on-line home study and in-person live components, participants will learn the principles of pharmacogenomics and its practical implications in disease states. Learners will also be trained to decipher tests, translate results, and make recommendations to help optimize medication regimens while receiving the instruction necessary to administer the training to others.
