Summary

This course will summarize the principles of drug metabolism pharmacogenetics and genetic medicine.

 

Objectives:

  • Pharmacogenetics of Drug Metabolism: Parts 1-5
    • Summarize scientific principles of pharmacogenomics, including discussion of:
      • Human genetics.
      • Relationship between genotypes and phenotypes in the context of pharmacogenomics.
      • Types of polymorphisms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms.
      • Linkage disequilibrium.
      • Haplotypes and diplotypes.
      • Star-allele nomenclature.
    • Discuss the different types of studies in the pharmacogenomics literature and their corresponding levels of evidence.
    • Explain the contribution of pharmacokinetics and genetics to interindividual variability in response.
    • Discuss relevant genetic polymorphisms of important drug metabolizing enzymes and their potential clinical implications.
    • Explain the function and tissue distribution of drug transporters.
    • Discuss variations in drug transporters and their clinical significance
    • Compare pharmacogenetics and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)
    • List example drugs for which pharmacogenetics-guided TDM may be the most useful

    Principles of Genetic Medicine: Parts I-2

    • Review DNA.
    • Explain the Human Genome Project.
    • Discuss the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.
    • Discuss the Types of polymorphisms.
    • Define allele, genotype, and phenotype
    • Define linkage disequilibrium, haplotype, and diplotype
    • Introduce PharmGKB

Credit Reporting

  • The University of Florida College of Pharmacy will report CPE credit to CPE Monitor and CE Broker when applicable. If you would like a paper statement of credit, you may print it from your NABP e-profile.
  • All pharmacists and pharmacy technicians maintain their own license and/or certification and it is their responsibility to follow up with the Office of Continuing Education at the University of Florida if any CE credit discrepancies are found.
  • It is at the University’s discretion to award or deny credit to a late claiming participant (i.e. after 60 days of the participant engaging in a CPE activity) as it is the University’s CE activity and the provider needs to ensure the requirements necessary for credit are successfully completed.
  • The University may request access to CPE Monitor® if the activity in question occurred within the previous 6 months and with an appropriate reason for access, i.e. power outage, etc.
