Date: 2023-06-13

June 6, 2023 - The NHGRI ISCC-PEG Pharmacogenomics Project Group hosts a webinar titled, "Introducing the NIH Inter-Society Coordinating Committee for Practitioner Education in Genomics (ISCC-PEG) Pharmacogenomics Learning Series: New Peer-Reviewed Online Education for Healthcare Professionals".

Educational barriers limit broader application of pharmacogenomics to improve medication outcomes. This brief webinar will reenforce the importance of educating the healthcare professions towards genomics competency and will announce new online educational offerings.  The Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Project Group of NHGRI ISCC-PEG is proud to launch a series of peer-reviewed educational activities to support healthcare practitioners integrating pharmacogenomics effectively in clinical practice. The activities can be taken independently either free of charge or for continuing education credit depending upon the learner’s needs. The content is reviewed annually and is hosted online by the University of Pittsburgh.
