American Society of Health-System Pharmacists to host live webinar on CPIC

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) will be hosting a live webinar on Tuesday, April 15th from 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST discussing the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC). The webinar will be presented by Kelly E. Caudle, CPIC coordinator at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and James M. Hoffman, Medication Outcomes & Safety Officer, also with St. Jude. The webinar will provide an overview of CPIC, as well as discussing how CPIC guidelines can be used in clinical practice, and how they have enabled the successful implementation of pharmacogenetics into a clinical electronic environment.

PharmGKB plays an integral role in the CPIC, and is involved in the creation of these drug dosing guidelines; online and interactive versions of the CPIC guidelines can be found on the PharmGKB website. Anyone interested in learning more about CPIC and clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics is encouraged to attend.
