IVPN - Personalized Medicine and Pharmacogenomics Course (101)
OVERVIEW
Personalized medicine (PM) is the practice of separating people into groups for the purpose of delivering medical service based on their individual risk of developing a disease or possible response to a specific treatment.
Over the recent years, PM has gained a considerable application in medical practice including pharmaceutical care; however, application in MENA region is considerably limited.
