Summary

Personalised Medicine supports patients in receiving an optimal and effective treatment with a minimum of risk of adverse events.

As this type of treatment is still relatively new, many have the need for an introduction to the basics of personalised medicine: what is the potential? What types of analyses are needed? What is the flow in collaboration and responsibilities among stakeholders, e.g. doctors, analysts and patients?

By completing the 7 modules included in this self-access online course, you acquire basic knowledge about personalised medicine: The potential of genetic analysis of drug metabolising enzymes, transporters and receptors, and how to use this information in clinical practice.

You can access the 7 online modules whenever is most convenient for you. Please note that your access expires one year from the time you sign up.

After finishing each module, you must answer a number of questions related to that specific module before you can access the next module.

After completing the 7 modules, you have the possibility to join 3 online follow-up Q&A sessions with the experts who prepared the modules. You will be able to sign up for 3 sessions of 1 hours duration within a year from your completion of the 7 modules. The Q&A sessions are based on your questions and are included in the course price.
