From Time Magazine cover stories to questions from anxious patients, practicing physicians are being challenged to incorporate the new genetics into their daily clinical practice. This CME course is a down-to-earth, practical introduction to the Genomics Revolution for busy community physicians. We will cover how to order and interpret genetic susceptibility tests, billing and office management issues, how therapy will be based on individual genetic profiles, patient counseling and privacy issues, and how genomics will change your job as a physician. The course will also provide lists of extensive national and local resources and solutions so that the busy clinician will be able to confidently incorporate the new genetics into their daily routine of caring for their patients.
