Director, Fullerton Genetics Center will present: Addressing Ethical, Legal, Social and Policy Issues Related to Integrating Personalized Medicine into Routine Clinical Care at the 5th Annual Personalized Medicine Conference
By: Arrowhead Publishers Ten years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, there is now incredible opportunity to apply the knowledge and technology from this effort directly into clinical practice. Pharmacogenetics has been considered one of the most promising areas to truly translate this knowledge into clinical care, and if implemented appropriately, could clear the path for the expansion of individualized genomic medicine to optimize health care. Provision of personalized medicine, and the infrastructure necessary to support its success, requires careful consideration of relevant ethical, legal, social and policy issues (ELSIP). These issues can act as barriers or facilitators to successful integration of genomic information into clinical practice. Some of the issues to consider are: · • • Are we disseminating accurate information and educating stakeholders, including the public? • Do best practices exist to assess levels of evidence for different stakeholders? • Who should have access to genomic data and how should this be shared? These questions can also serve to drive policy to support its implementation. The 5th Annual Personalized Medicine Conference is an official satellite event of the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting (ASHG 2013), held at the Westin Boston Waterfront.
