2018 Precision Medicine - Will Personalized Medicine Improve Population Health? |
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE — Beginning Monday, February 8th, 2021, the S.J. Quinney College of Law will NOT be able to submit CLE credit for events prior to 2019.
You may still apply for CLE credit by completing form 5 from the MCLE's website (https://www.utahbar.org/mcle-forms/) and submitting it to the Utah MCLE office. Personalized medicine promises to deliver the right treatment to the right patient at the right price. Yet the highly individualized nature of personalized medicine — tailoring treatment and dosing to each person’s unique lifestyle, environment (exposures) and genetics (genetic profile)—and its potential costs, raises questions regarding the applicability of personalized medicine on a population-wide basis. And, more specifically, whether personalized medicine, and the massive federal Precision Medicine Initiative and All of Us research program, are likely to have a significant impact on the health of the American public. Join us for this full-day symposium at which nationally-renowned experts in personalized medicine, genomics, epidemiology, health disparities, regulatory science and bioethics will wrestle with the question whether and how personalized medicine can improve population health. http://www.law.utah.edu/event/frontiers-in-precision-medicine-iii-will-personalized-medicine-improve-population-health/ 8:40-9:50 a.m. – Co-Opening Keynote Session: Will Personalized Medicine Improve Population Health? 9:50-10:20 a.m. – Precision Medicine and Population Health in Action Session: Cancer Genetics 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session 1: Precision Health, Population Health, and Health Disparities 1:30-3:00 p.m. – Session 2: Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Genetics and Population Health 3:00-3:30 p.m. – Precision Medicine and Population Health in Action Session: Big Data 3:50-5:00 p.m. – Closing Keynote and Discussion |
