A panel of patients and doctors come together for a discussion on personalized medicine from patients’ perspectives. What tests are available now? For what disorders? How do I talk to my doctor about personalized medicine? Explore a richer understanding of patients’ needs and wants to inform the implementation of personalized medicine for all British Columbians.
Join a conversation with people who have experiences with cancer, diabetes and a dangerous but preventable reaction to a drug, a student who is exploring the power of language to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers, a pharmacist who is bringing “pharmacogenomics” to rural and urban community pharmacies across British Columbia and an oncologist involved in “personalized oncogenomics” who can address the question: How do I talk to my oncologist about personalized treatment for my cancer?
This event took place on February 10, Wednesday 2016, 6-8pm.
