Earn CME and update your knowledge on cutting-edge medical topics ranging from prenatal nutrition to proteomic testing. The eLectures average one hour and a pre- and a post-survey must be filled out to receive CME. Expert speakers frame each individual topic. Augment your Functional Medicine knowledge today.
Pharmacogenomics provides insight into genetic factors that change not only the efficacy of specific drug compounds, but also the likelihood of side effects. With 48.7% of Americans on a prescription drug,1 physicians must make daily decisions about which drug to prescribe to which individual. Adverse drug reactions are responsible for over 100,000 deaths and 2 million serious events annually in the United States alone, and individual variability in drug response is at least partly due to genetic variations. Learn about the frequency of genetic SNPs that affect drug metabolism, biotransformation, and the likelihood of side effects and adverse events. Dr. Tyndale will cover the state of this emerging field as well as challenges to implementation.
