Pharmacogenomics: Foundations, Competencies, and the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process

Pharmacogenomics: Foundations, Competencies, and the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process, Second Edition provides a basic and clinical foundation for the application of drug-gene interactions in clinical therapeutics. As the field of PGx advances, there is a need for a pharmacy-based, directed resource that can be a reference for practicing pharmacists and student pharmacists. Specific information is presented through "PGx Pearls." Each of the 17 cases is presented in the context of the PPCP, with "Competency Connections" related to genetics and genomics. Each chapter provides content and objective-related questions with the answers provided.

KEY FEATURES:

• Connects the clinical application with basic foundational principles of pharmacogenomics.
• Includes pharmacogenomics case studies across therapeutic areas.
• PPCP-focused content that reinforces the pharmacists' role in pharmacogenomics.
• Ideal for adoption in courses teaching pharmacogenomics.
